How to break glass door.

Just check out the video below to see how easy it is to break into a sliding glass door. As we briefly mentioned above the locks on most sliding glass doors are really just latches.

Break the glass with a mallet or hammer. Check to make sure the surrounding area is clear. Sliding doors are one of the most vulnerable entry points into our homes. Lifting the door out of its frame.

The locks they put on sliding doors are barely a deterrent to people looking to break in. Stand at the elevated end of the glass and raise the hammer or mallet overhead. Insert a screwdriver or pry bar between the door frame and the door about 6 inches from the corner diagonal from the latch at the bottom and pry upward. Gauge the area where the hammer will come down on the glass and briefly turn your face away from the glass while striking hard with one swift blow.

The sliding door can usually be lifted about an inch then the bottom can be pushed in. If the l shaped latch has an downward pivot as opposed to the upward pivot it won t release the same way.
