Choosing the Right Lockset
When selecting a lockset for your sliding door, it is important to consider factors such as the level of security you require, the type of door you have, and your personal preferences. JELD-WEN offers various locksets that cater to different needs.
Types of Locksets
JELD-WEN provides several types of locksets suitable for sliding doors:
1. Standard Locksets
Standard locksets are the most common type for sliding doors. They typically consist of a latch and a lock mechanism. JELD-WEN’s standard locksets are durable, easy to install, and provide a basic level of security.
2. Keyed Locksets
If you want an extra layer of security, JELD-WEN offers keyed locksets. These locksets require a key to unlock the door from the outside. They are recommended for external sliding doors.
3. Mortise Locksets
Mortise locksets are more robust and secure than standard locksets. They are embedded into the door and require professional installation. JELD-WEN’s mortise locksets offer enhanced security and are suitable for both residential and commercial sliding doors.
Installation Process
Installing a JELD-WEN sliding door lockset is a straightforward process that can be done by following the provided instructions. However, if you are not comfortable with DIY projects, it is recommended to hire a professional locksmith or carpenter to ensure proper installation.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your JELD-WEN sliding door lockset, regular maintenance is essential. Here are some tips:
1. Lubrication
Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the moving parts of the lockset to prevent friction and ensure smooth operation.
2. Cleaning
Clean the lockset regularly with a mild detergent and a soft cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners that can damage the lockset’s finish.
3. Inspection
Periodically inspect the lockset for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, contact JELD-WEN or a professional locksmith for assistance.
