Review: Easy to Install - These security lock work great on my Anderson sliders. I researched many different types of lock for my sliders and ended up buying these locks. And I'm glad I did. Plus, my wife finds them easy to lock and unlock with a foot. For me, the best thing I liked about these locks is how easy they are to install. I put them on all 4 of my Anderson sliders.
Review: High quality SOLID construction, may work on non-Anderson doors. - The item says it's for Anderson branded sliding doors and even lists models of doors that support it. I knew this when purchasing it and do not have an Anderson door. As I expected, it mounted just fine to my vinyl framed glass sliding door. I'm not a window/door professional, so I don't know exactly what's behind the vinyl that the mounting screws are biting into, but it dug in real tight. I'm confident it will last as long as the door does. As for the device itself, it's really well made with heavy duty cast metal housing. The only part that was not metal and visible from the outside was a plastic cap on top of the bolt post and the back panel that faces the door. When you work the spring loaded action, it works and feels SOLID with a satisfying "click" sound when the bolt locks down. I've found it really easy to use, that is, you don't have to stomp down or kick on it to work the action. It's smooth and can easily be operated barefoot. This was my experience since I aligned the track hole properly with the bolt in the door's closed position. I imagine if I had offset the hole on accident, it may not have worked as smoothly. So take your time when installing it and follow the directions and you'll be alright. The instructions were easy to understand and the method of installation was written at a professional level to ensure proper installation. Overall, I love it and would definitely recommend this item!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this work on a regular swing door?  I have an outswinging door onto my fire escape and need extra security.  Thank you.**
A: I don't think it will help on a swing door.  It is made to be mounted on a sliding door.  Your best bet is going to Home Depot and buying a latch mechanism that locks and will work on your swing door.

**Q: Can you mount this if if the outside door is the slider**
A: Good question. If the exterior panel is the operating door it is not an Andersen and I would not recommend this lock as it is specifically made for Andersen gliding doors.

**Q: Is this Andersen auxiliary security lock, foot latch-white can use on a out swing patio door? Your responds will be appreciated.thank you**
A: Good question. This auxiliary lock can only be used on gliding doors. Andersen does not offer an accessory for the hinges doors. A product from another vendor would be needed. A quick search on Amazon I found (search Amazon for this part number) B00YQ79GC6 which depending on your situation (single or double doors) may offer some additional security for children.

**Q: Is there a left or right. Does it matter if the dooe closes left to right or right to left.**
A: Does not matter. I have 2 sliders, 1 closes left the other right - no issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Andersen option which works for many other doors as well.
*by C***T on May 18, 2018*

I was using the old steel bar to secure a sliding patio door. While the solution worked well, it was very inconvenient. Having to find a place for the bar when you removed it was annoying and if you were trying to take the garbage out and forgot to unlock the bar first, it was a hassle. Installed this in about 15 minutes. A little bit of light drilling and secured my door very well. Give a tap to the button on the front and your lock pops up and the door opens. You can easily do it with your hands full! When you are done. just push down on the locking rod with the foot and your door is secure. A super easy, highly efficient and convenient product. I had the white version which looked great. It appears to be a solid and well made Andersen product.
