Folding doors are a popular choice for homeowners seeking to blur the lines between indoors and out, creating expansive openings and maximizing natural light. However, a common concern is whether these large, flexible doors can provide adequate security. The answer is a resounding YES! With advanced locking systems and high-quality materials, modern folding doors offer both protection and stunning aesthetics. In this article, we’ll delve into the world of locking folding doors, exploring the options available and highlighting the benefits of Cover Glass USA’s exceptional solutions.
Understanding Locking Mechanisms for Folding Doors
The security of folding doors hinges (pun intended!) on the locking mechanisms used. Here’s a look at the key types:
-
Deadbolt Locks: The backbone of door security. Cover Glass USA’s frameless folding door systems come standard with two deadbolt locks, one at the top and one at the bottom of the door panel. These slide directly into the side jambs, effectively securing the doors in the closed position and preventing forced entry from the outside.
-
Pull Locks: Designed for doors that open inward, this innovative solution features a detachable, translucent wand that attaches to the top of the opening panel. A simple pull-down and pull-toward motion unlocks the door.
-
Physical Handle Locks: Ideal for exterior applications, this lock includes a keyed entry on the outside and a quick-release mechanism on the inside. The combination of convenience and security makes it a popular choice for patios and entryways.
-
Traditional Slide Deadbolt Lock: This tried-and-true lock slides into both the top and bottom of the opening panel, providing a double layer of security that can be easily operated by hand and foot.
Security Beyond the Locks: The Cover Glass USA Advantage

In addition to robust locking mechanisms, Cover Glass USA’s frameless folding doors offer enhanced security features:
- Double-Tempered Glass: Each panel is constructed with two layers of tempered glass and an industrial lamination, making them incredibly strong and shatter-resistant.
- Alarm Integration: We design our systems for compatibility with both wireless and hardwired alarm systems. This provides additional security for those who desire it.
