Tools and Hardware Reviews of Master Lock 265DCCSEN Dual-Function Security Bar
Customer Review: Better than wood
Summary: 5 Stars
If anyone uses wood like I did behind your patio sliding door, I strongly suggest the Master Lock 265DCCSEN. My home was broken into through our patio door even with the wood behind it. I searched for another secure option and came across the Master Lock. I love this lock as you can place it anywhere on your patio door. Someone would have to literally break the glass door to get past this lock. We loved it so much we bought three.Customer Review: Here are the features & measurements (minimum and maximum) if you need them..

This security bar is very easy to use and a good alternative for providing additional protection. There are questions about how it's installed and its width - this is from the package:
* This security bar adjusts to fit most sliding and hinged doors
* Simple push button adjustment. No tools required.
* High strength steel tube (20-gauge)
* Portable, collapsible to fit most suitcases (**I wouldn't try to bring it inside a carry on**)
* Ideal for home or apartment (entry doors, interior doors for privacy, garage access doors), student dorms and travel
* Limited lifetime guarantee (see your store for details) (**Not sure what it means but keep the receipt**)
For use with hinged doors:
* Non-marring yoke designed to work with most types of door hardware. Can be removed for use with sliding glass doors.
* Pivoting ball joint (assures full contact with the floor)
* Padded foot provides sure grip on most floor surfaces and protects against finish damage.
* For hinged door, adjusts from 30" to 44.5"
* Should not be placed on loose rugs or floor mats
* To install, adjust bar length so padded base is 15-18 inches from bottom of door when yoke end is placed firmly under door knob
* Adjust length by rotating tube until silver button pops up
* Place yoke end tightly against the underside of the knob
* Slide padded base of security bar toward door until snug
For use with sliding glass doors
* Remove non-marrying yoke from end of security bar
* Adjust bar length to fit in the sliding door track
* Allow enough slack to remove the security bar quickly
* For sliding door, adjusts from 27.5" to 42"
For childproofing purposes, a Charley bar is better. If you don't have one, this bar may be better than the typical broomstick but you could consider placing an additional sliding glass door lock on top in case your child figures out how to lift it off the track (not too hard as it's not pressure fitted). In this regard, the Master Lock 251D which had a pressure lever was superior, as it could be wedged firmly high up, out of reach of children.
Customer Review: Great product
Summary: 5 Stars
As a crime prevention specialist I like to practice what I preach. I bought four of these, two for home use and two for my mother. One is for the front door the other for the slider. Easy to use and works great! I also try to bring one with me to Neighborhood Watch meetings to show an inexpensive way to be more secure! Customer Review: Does the job

I bought this lock-bar for an old back patio door in my rental. It does the job, but the door is old, so even with the bar in place, the top of the door can be pulled back off the track. I would suggest getting this lock and one that you mount higher up if you are working with an older door. Customer Review: Easy To Use Security Bar

This product is simple and easy to use. We just wanted an added safety factor to our front door when we found out the new way that people are popping out the deadbolt locks....This is perfect!
