Specialized Locks and Handles for Frameless Doors
Frameless glass doors (Herculite doors) are beautiful, but finding hardware for them is tricky. You cannot drill new holes in tempered glass; the hardware must fit the existing cutouts or clamp onto the glass securely. Installix supplies and installs specialized glass door hardware. Whether you need to add a lock to a boardroom door, replace a loose ladder pull, or upgrade to a digital access system, we have the non-invasive solutions designed specifically for 10mm and 12mm glass.
Glass Hardware Solutions
Patch Locks
These locks clamp onto the corner or bottom of the door. They provide a secure deadbolt throw into the floor or side jamb without needing holes drilled in the glass face. Perfect for adding security to interior glass partitions.
Ladder Pulls
Tall, vertical stainless steel handles (locking or non-locking). We replace loose handles with fresh gaskets and threadlocker to ensure they stay tight.
Magnetic Latches
For office doors that just won't stay closed, we install magnetic clamps or hydraulic patch fittings that hold the door in the closed position gently.
The Solution: Clamp-On Technology
We use high-quality architectural hardware from brands like dormakaba and CRL. These components use high-friction gaskets and set screws to grip the glass surface with immense strength, ensuring functionality without the risk of shattering the pane.
Why Choose Installix?
- Retrofit Ready: We can add locks to doors that currently have none, using "slide-on" lock housings.
- Finish Matching: We match Matte Black, Polished Chrome, or Brushed Stainless to your existing office design.
- Safety: We ensure all hardware maintains appropriate clearances so glass edges never touch metal or concrete.
Technical Specifications
| Hardware | Glass Prep |
|---|---|
| Clamp-On Lock | No holes required. Slides onto edge. Ideal for retrofit. |
| Patch Lock | Requires a corner notch (mouse ear cutout) in glass. Must be factory ordered. |
| Locking Ladder Pull | Requires 2 holes. The locking mechanism acts as a floor bolt. |
Our Process: Precise Fitting
Step 1: Thickness Check
We measure if your glass is 10mm or 12mm. Using the wrong gasket size will cause the hardware to slip or break the glass.
Step 2: Installation
We clean the glass surface with alcohol. We install the gaskets and hardware, torqueing screws to spec.
Step 3: Strike Installation
For locks, we drill the floor or frame to install the dust-proof strike (the hole the bolt goes into).
Pricing Factors
- Function: Simple pulls are cheaper than keyed locking mechanisms.
- Style: European-style angular hardware costs more than standard rounded shapes.
- Keying: Matching the key to your office master system is an additional locksmith service.
