There are many locks from which to choose. The better locks can cost up to $200 or more. While spending a lot of money on a lock is not always necessary, keep in mind that the more expensive locks will be sturdier because they are made of materials such as solid brass, more reliable and better able to withstand constant use.

Manufacturer warranties will also be more comprehensive on products of higher quality. Buy only locks that are certified by the American National Standards Institute, or ANSI.

Sliding door locks are also available in a range of finishes and styles, but a lock that matches the style or decor of your home could be pricier. Locks with finishes that feature different interior and exterior finishes are ones that also tend to cost more.

Unless you are handy or have experience replacing sliding door locks, hiring someone who installs locks for a living is a good idea. A sliding door professional will properly install the lock and related hardware.

Also important is choosing a lock appropriate for a slider. Locks not only vary in quality but in dimensions. A professional can make recommendations based on the brand and type of sliding door you own.
