Prime-Line U 11316 Swing Bar Door Guard with High Security Lock, Satin Nickel Finish (Single Pack)

The Defender Security U 11316 Swing Bar Door Guard enhances door security and peace of mind by allowing partial door opening for viewing while preventing intruders from forcing their way in. Its design includes a ball on the keeper that interlocks with the bar lock when engaged, effectively thwarting unauthorized entry attempts.

An innovative addition to the standard door guard is the backup thumb turn security lock. This feature prevents the release tool from disengaging the door guard latch, reinforcing security measures. In emergency situations, such as when emergency personnel need immediate access or during crises like hotel security incidents, the thumb turn can be forcibly removed with approximately 100 pounds of force applied to the door. Importantly, this force threshold exceeds that of a typical forced entry attempt, ensuring that the emergency release mechanism does not compromise everyday security.

Even after the thumb turn lock breaks away, the unit remains functional as a traditional swing bar door lock. To reset the door guard, a specialized Anti-Lockout emergency access tool is required, providing additional security against unauthorized access.

To maximize home security, it is advisable to engage the backup thumb turn lock whenever the door is not in active use. The Defender Security U 11316 Swing Bar Door Guard features a sleek satin nickel finish, blending seamlessly with various door aesthetics while offering added peace of mind.

Installation is straightforward and swift, with all necessary fasteners included for immediate setup. By investing just a few minutes in installation, homeowners can significantly bolster their entry door security and deter forced entry attempts effectively.

In summary, the Defender Security U 11316 Swing Bar Door Guard combines ease of installation with robust security features, including a secondary thumb turn lock for added protection. Designed to allow safe viewing and deter unauthorized access, it offers a practical solution to enhance residential security without compromising emergency accessibility needs.
