Operating door panels, the doors that move, on Andersen® E-Series gliding patio doors are equipped with locking mechanisms that have a mortised 2-point hook lock. The lock mechanism hooks into a lock keeper, which may be located in the side jamb or on the stationary panel, depending on the patio door configuration. That hook latching mechanism secures the door shut.
