Q: Are these sliding door locks available keyed alike?
A: As a general rule, no these are stocked keyed different. Occasionally we can pull out of stock keyed alike locks, but this is not guarantee. These will ship keyed differently most times with no guarantee of actual keying at the time of order.
Q: This lock looks similar to MAGSecurity 8825 lock. Whats the difference between the two locks? And is MAGSecurity out of business while Pro-Lok is still in business?
A: There maybe subtle differences. Are you replacing as existing MAG unit or is this a new installation?
Q: New installation - Michael
A: Since you're not replacing an existing unit and there are no measurable discernible differences between the two manufacturers you have mentioned, I would recommend that you proceed with the
Pro-Lok EPL-106-AL 6" x 1-1/8" Patio Door Lock - Keyed Large Rectangle, Aluminum
model as it is less costly, not discontinued and in our stock ready to ship immediately.
Q: Im about to buy this lock but worried about how these little screws will hold and not back out without a nut ... serious question. Once theyre in, what could they possibly have to grab on to?? Curious to read your thoughts Thanks in advance!
A: I believe the fasteners provided with the EPL-106-AL 6" x 1-1/8" Patio Door Lock - Keyed Large Rectangle, Aluminum
as provided vy the manufacturer have been tested for the application. Your skill set and experience may lead you to augment the installation. We have sold this sold for decades and have no reports of failed fasteners. Speaking personally, I would improve the installation where and when it is obvious and possible.
