Sliding doors have been dependent largely on clunky security bars that force users to bend down to operate them. Thankfully, now someone is looking at it with a different perspective – not the middle-door mount that’s such an eyesore – but an all-metal lock bar, which sets up within the sliding door channel, without any screws or tools, and immediately beefs up the security without requiring you to bend your back ever again.
StepNLock sliding door security bar is a novel innovation to save us the effort and enhance security. A testament to that is the strong support it is receiving on Kickstarter, with 460 backers already helping the campaign reach nearly 900% of the original crowdfunding goal with 16 days remaining.
If you have a sliding patio door, a door security bar, whether mounted in the middle of the door or at the bottom, is available as backup for your door lock. But the traditional hardware and makeshift sticks are getting a StepNLock upgrade, which will make securing sliding doors simpler, similar to a deadbolt – but easier with a two-step (quite literally) method.
Once installed, the step-activated design lets you engage or disengage the bar by simply tapping it with your foot. No bending required, except for the first time to set the StepNLock. Just step on the lock and it opens, and a similar action allows it to close. The easy-to-use step buttons onboard make the locking and unlocking of your sliding door quick, clear, and friction-free.
Working in tandem with your main deadbolt, StepNLock prevents the sliding panel from moving. It resists forced entry and can be adjusted to allow the door to open partially for fresh air, and fully for walking through. The all-metal body of the StepNLock ensures its strength, while the adjustable option allows the user to tailor the size in order to make it compatible with different-sized doors and their channel lengths.
The sliding door security bar with built-in telescopic mechanism, to lift and retract along the channel, uses a roller on the front to make the door move smoothly – no scraping, no resistance – while engaging and disengaging. All the internal lever mechanisms, including the telescoping bar, hinge base, and front roller, are patented, which makes StepNLock a truly engineered solution to safeguard your sliding doors with an extra layer of protection.
With its incredibly quick and easy design, back-friendly convenience, and an aesthetic form factor that will instantly match your door, the StepNLock is available on Kickstarter. You can preorder StepNLock for the Early Bird price of $99, 23 percent off the retail price of $129.
