Maybe I'm dense, but how is lock mounted to glass? I own this lock, but the adhesive strip provided is only one-sided. Shouldn't it be two-sided?

It should be two sided. You could have a defective one, but if i remember correctly, one side of the backing was totally clear. No watermarks at all to let you know its there. Take a closer look, maybe use a needle to try to get a corner started. If you still cant get it, either send it back for a new one, or find some other double sided tape. Id recommend returning it because the adhesive i received is super strong and because this is a lock, thats what youre looking for.

One side of the "lock" is adhesive so it sticks to glass. The other side can flip either up or down. If it is flipped down you can open and close your door or window. If it is flipped up it prevents the window or door from sliding open.

It is two-sided. After adhering the strip to the plastic lock, catch the edge and peel the next protective paper. That side sticks to the glass. I love this lock!! Good luck!

Worked great for me used it on our sliding closet doors on our fifth wheel. The tape strip that came was very thin and it had a strip on each side that had to be removed. Any good double tape should work, be sure you didn't miss a clear strip.

its supposed to be 2 sided. need a fingernail to peel back the paper coating.

There is a small but sturdy metal bracket that is secured with 2 screws. Incredibly easy to install and very secure. I installed mine a bit different from the supplied instructions as I have double hung windows. That means both the bottom sash and the top sash move up and down. I had to mortice out a groove in the bottom sash to accept the metal bracket. That way each sash can move freely when the lock was removed for greater circulation.

I wish I could answer that! I have forgotten and have forgotten my combination. I know I wrote all this down "somewhere" and hopefully will find the information before traveling again. Sorry!! P.S. I had no trouble with my lock, but my husband's lock stuck and then did not recognize his combination.

I used it last summer in a horizontal window (slides l/r). I used a piece of wood to hold the sliding side firm against the a/c, and a thin sheet of opaque Plexiglas over the top. A mount was installed to support from the bottom. I filled any open spaces that remained with double-sided adhesive weather stripping. The sliders are only for regular (up/down) type windows, save them for if you ever need them (my landlord changed our windows from slide to regular this summer).

Adhesive tape (1 strip in each corner with velcro face exposed to the unit) is used to attach the base to the windshield. When you pull the screen up, it hooks into a hook that is attached by adhesive tape to the top of the windshield. I've installed the passenger side now, works fine...next step is to install the second screen on the driver side.

I had the same issue I actually took a piece of blue painters tape and put it on the glass then peeled it once it was installed. Good luck

The strips should be two way. I put them on the top of the corner on each side, and then put the guard on the corner. I'd it doesn't work, you can get two sided tape at any hardware store.

Honestly My super did it, but one side comes with an adhesive strip. If not you should find a strong glue, or slide it down your shower door slot...... If it has one. Hope I could help in anyway.

Amy, the key is attached to a short, beaded, metal chain that is attached to the bracket. It (key) dangles (hangs) from the bracket when it is not in use. The video done by the review labeled "Fantastic!" shows this detail. The best why to secure a sliding glass door. Hope this helps.

I did not have this problem. It sounds to me that one of these things is likely: 1. You installed it wrong and you need to take it apart to reinstall. 2. Manufacturer defect. Hopefully you did not close the door and end up on the outside, because then you will have to try sliding something in between the door to push the lock out of the way. It will move even if the door is locked.

Same problem...............you can try to lower the plastic a little on the glass...........Either way.......even if it works.....it is not a SECURE stop......

There is an anti water strip that is placed on the moving door along the hinge side. It has to be cut into three pieces and placed on the glass, and the instructions illustrate this in great detail. Also, when installing it, if you have any questions you can call our DreamLine Technical Support Line at 866-731-2244. We are happy to help you with cutting instructions and installation instructions.

I have the same problem. I think the lock was mismanufactured at the factory. I'm certain I installed it correctly. Will be exchanging for a new lock

I initially used double Sided carpet tape instead of plain Double sticky tape. That held pretty good for a while. Ultimately though my son in law installed a stabilizing screw through the center of the platform that secures it to the window sill. Doesn't bother me and my 4 hoodlums are happy!!

I used 3m double sided tape. You can also use a small screw as there is a mounting hole on the back of the unit.

I can't even imagine cutting the glass and then securing it with screws. I'd have to refer you to a glass shop. This works fine on our 2-inch thick door. But glass? Sounds scary to me. Good luck.
