Buying Guide
What thickness and glass type does this lock fit?
Most options in this guide fit 3/8″–1/2″ (10–12 mm) tempered or laminated glass. Before buying, measure door thickness and confirm glass type to ensure proper fit and safety.
What mounting style should I choose?
Top or bottom mounting offers flexibility for different door configurations. If you have a double swing door, consider a double-sided lock with exterior key control for added security.
Which finish is best for my space?
Matte black hides fingerprints well and blends with modern black hardware. Brushed nickel provides a lighter, more traditional look and can match stainless steel fixtures.
Is drill-free installation important?
All listed options emphasize clamp-on, drill-free installation. This preserves glass integrity and simplifies retrofits in rented spaces or historic doors. If additional reinforcement is needed, use included screws as described by each product.
What are common limitations to consider?
Exterior keys can be lost; ensure duplicates and access plans are in place. Some models may affect egress flow in emergencies if not aligned with building codes. Consider pairing a floor lock with an additional strike or latch as needed for the space.
How do I compare durability and maintenance?
Look for 304 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and long service life. Regular cleaning with non-abrasive cleaners helps maintain appearance, especially in humid environments like bathrooms or storefronts.
