We have french doors with small panes. If this is put only on panes near the lock to prevent access, will those panes look different from others?

No they should look fine just get all the air bubble out if you get any, I would measure security film out 1st pre cut with a cardboard templates so it can be just right.

No. If properly installed, you won't see any difference. The security film is clear.

If you can install it UNDER the pane-dividers, it will be more secure. Remember that the glass will still break, so I'd be afraid of the smaller panes breaking out of the frame, unless the whole of the glass in the door were covered.

No, it won't. We used bungee cords on the doorknobs for the french doors that we don't use a lot, and this lock for the ones we use all the time - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0014WN86Q/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc;=1

My lock is parallel to the long side. It shouldn't make any difference as the latch is oriented parallel to the short side and the lock is low profile and shouldn't reduce the open flat area for storage.

The short answer is it that it should lock the door from the outside, if the door jamb is standard depth. It is not it may not work well if at all due to the shortness of the toothed bar. I was able to make the lock work for my use on a non-standard door, but it took some modification to do so.

It would prevent the door from opening completely, but it's not designed for super thin doors. The gap is designed for doors over 1" in thickness. It does include a few small spacers (I don't recall the sizes) but they won't get small enough for a glass door. If you get creative with adding your own spacers, it may work.

Not really, they use a closure system to keep them closed. You could rig up some sort of fastener for them, but it would be awkward. I think they make something for French doors, keep looking!

I have these doors. They do indeed lock. I get lots of compliments on the doors and wife feels a bit safer. Reason for the lock is so no one can steal the doors.

No. But! If the door is large enough you can put one facing out and one facing in and whether you are out or in; you could slide that particular lock over. I found that this lock did not work well for us. I kept forgetting it was there and eventually broke it. But found nothing wrong with the lock itself.

Unless you have an AC unit, I do not see how this will prevent someone from gaining access by removing the mesh, and manually removing both pieces from the outside facing window.One will be facing outside, for the intruder to unscrew himself.

If you are trying to cover individual small windows, it might be more difficult. We had a solid pane, removed the frame, measured the film and cut it to fit the window. It wasn't difficult at all that way.

It is fully enclosed with at the top and all windows with very fine holed mesh. There are 2 doors that have a very very small holed mesh as well that fully zip. I do believe it would keep them out very well as long as you keep the doors fully zipped.

I believe the design is to place it on the glass. I do not believe it would work on the side of the window due to the window track that raises the window. The item folds flat to let the window riise when it is on the glass. I think this would slow down someone who is trying to jam the lock ion the window. Should someone be able to open the lock form the outside, he would still be unable to raise the window. I believe it would slow down someone trying to come in through a window. Placed in the corner of the window, it is not that noticeable.

On the inside handle is a twist knob to lock the door...there is also the deadbolt with a twist knob. I installed these easily of enough. Just a word of advise.. if you have a blind that is enclosed in glass (the frame sticks out off the door). It makes the handle hard to grasp because there is no room. We didnt take that into consideration when we installed the knob and deadbolt.

My installation was on/in a 6 panel door. I chose to go directly in the center of the door vs. to one side. My line of thinking was that it would create less of a problem by not getting the edge of the door to thin and possibly warping it in the future! You do notice a gap where the door panel(s) concave's, however, it is not enough so that it bothers the Mrs. or myself. Additionally, the center housing that "locks" everything together is designed in a way that the "gaps" or "concave areas" of the door are sealed. Hope this helps?

It goes on your door frame, and the screws go on the inside of the frame - so there are no permanent marks to worry about. This lock has worked really well for us!!

Yes the doors are clear on both sides. Not good if you put stuff in there because it is very visible. I put opaque stick on film on the inside of the glass to hide my stuff.

I have mine Inside with my window hold it in place. So it all depends on how your windows are built, not all windows are the same.
