In the middle of all this technology - it's refreshing to see a simple, low tech solution to a major problem.
Sliding glass doors are common in apartments, so it's no surprise to see them as part of residential living spaces on college campuses that are modeled after apartment complexes.
But unfortunately, students have a hard time making sure they are secure when they leave - or go to bed at night.
To make matters worse, older door frames and track systems make it pretty easy to lift the sliding glass panel off the track - even if there's something in place to prevent the door from opening.
You could spend a huge chunk of money replacing the door tracks, or, if you're lucky enough to have a gifted facilities group - you can spend under a dollar each.
Today I checked out a proposed solution to that problem. A washer screwed into the top part of the door that prevents it from being raised any higher then the side of the washer protrudes from the door's edge.
