Top Lock Solutions for Homes with Glass Front Doors in Phoenix

Glass front doors are a beautiful feature in many Phoenix homes—they let in natural light, boost curb appeal, and create a welcoming entry. But with beauty comes a challenge: security. Glass panels near the lock or deadbolt make it easier for intruders to reach inside or break in.

At Affordable Security Locksmith And Alarm, we help homeowners protect their glass entryways without sacrificing design. Visit our residential locksmith services page or explore the best lock options and reinforcements below.


🚪 Why Glass Doors Need Specialized Lock Solutions

Glass doors are vulnerable because:

  • They can be broken to reach the interior lock
  • Some have no solid frame reinforcement
  • They may lack secondary locking points or security layers
  • Visibility may tempt opportunistic intruders

That doesn’t mean you have to replace your door—you just need the right lock setup.


🔐 Best Lock Options for Glass Front Doors

1. Double Cylinder Deadbolt

Requires a key to unlock from both sides, making it impossible to open—even if a burglar breaks the glass and reaches in.

✅ Best for:

  • Full glass or sidelights near the lock
  • Homes without young children (since it requires a key to exit)

2. Smart Locks with Auto-Lock + Alert Features

Smart locks with tamper sensors and auto-lock functionality ensure the door stays secure, even if someone forgets to relock it.

✅ Best for:

  • Homeowners who want convenience + alerts
  • Integration with home security systems

3. Multi-Point Locking System

Locks the door at multiple points (top, middle, and bottom), making it much harder to pry open—even with broken glass.

✅ Best for:

  • French-style or double doors
  • Tall glass entryways

4. Security Film + Reinforced Glass

Pair your lock upgrades with shatter-resistant film or laminated glass to delay or prevent smash-and-grab entry.

✅ Bonus Tip: Frosted or tinted film also adds privacy.


5. Reinforced Strike Plate and 3” Screws

No matter what lock you use, make sure the strike plate is reinforced and anchored into the wall stud—not just the trim.


🔧 Additional Tips to Secure a Glass Front Door

  • Install a door sensor or glass-break alarm
  • Add motion-activated lighting around the entry
  • Use a video doorbell to monitor activity
  • Position furniture or plants to obscure interior views
