US 2021/0277710 A1 · MOUNTING APPARATUS FOR SECURITY SLIDING BARRIER

Abstract

Disclosed embodiments include a mounting apparatus for a sliding security barrier that includes unique security features that ensure the sliding security barrier is secure and does not suffer problems that exist with conventional security doors and windows. The sliding security barrier is configured to be implemented using tracks that are common to conventional sliding patio screen door or windows. Additional security features include a unique striker plate, a lift protector at a corner, adjustable top and/or bottom channel caps, an interlock, and a uniquely shaped lock. These features provide greater security at a lower cost because they use an existing sliding door or window sash and channels but provide a secure attachment that inhibits tampering and removal of the sliding screen barrier.
