Re: which security latch lock is suitable for a bedroom

Hello @ayesha- 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about adding a security latch to your sliding door.

 

If it is a hidden internal sliding door, I suggest looking at the following:

 

 

It will be necessary to cut and drill holes into the door itself in order for these locks to be installed properly. If you don't have the necessary tools to install the lock, I suggest inquiring about the door lock installation service offered at the store. However, if you are after an external bolt type lock like the Ikonic White Patio Bolt it will be necessary to drill a hole in the floor and the sliding door will not be able to fully retract into the wall cavity.

 

If you are after something more specific, please let me know what model you are after, and I will try to look for it.

 

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

 

Eric
