New Anlin Patio Door Upgrade: Footbolt Lock Explained

[Music] Hey guys, Sean with American Window Concepts and right now we're in the showroom and I did a a short video probably a couple of months ago about Annlin introducing a footbolt on their patio doors getting rid of the head dead bolt uh that used to be here. So, we went ahead and switched out the interlock so that way we could have the footbolt now. All right, because this is all that Anland is going to offer. They're no longer going to offer the uh deadbolt. So, what's really cool about this is that it makes it so that way it's an extra lock, another option, another deterrent um to keep your door locked. So, you can lock it here and then all you have to do is come over here and push that down and now you have two bolts that are going down into the track and it's just added security. It's a really a nice feature. I'm glad they did this. And one of the main reasons is because of liability issues. There's a I mean, if if they have this and an 8 foot tall patio door and they have the deadbolt up and then, you know, a person who's 5 foot tall can't just readily grab that and pull it down. They have to do a few steps in order to get that deadbolt down. And it's kind of a pain. So in case of an emergency or something that could hinder their ability to get out and that's kind of a big problem. They came up with the footbolt. So you just push down on that and I mean you can use your foot to do it but then to unlock it it's such an easy step. You just come over here and push that and now it's unlocked. And here we like to do two. We like to do one that's going to be 3 in open as well. And I like doing this because I think it's a nice touch. It allows you to keep your door open, you know, a few inches, letting in some cool coastal breeze at any point, right? So, and then it keeps it, you know, figuratively locked. Not completely, but it's, you know, it it's a it's a way it would make somebody think, "Oh, there's something behind the door. We can't get this thing to open." So, you would just push that. You close your door. It's just that easy. I think it's a nice feature. I think it's welldesigned. another improvement that I feel was necessary and is just a really really great option. So that's it. I just wanted to show you guys how that would look and how to operate it. It's just so so easy. That's to lock it. That's to unlock it. So that's it.
