If Your deadbolt only locks if you lift the door.
Then Realign the strike and renew the hinge screws.
A dropped door binds the bolt; setting the hinges and the strike returns the smooth throw.
Locks for shops, offices and buildings: rekeying at turnover, commercial-grade hardware, exit devices, master key systems and access control.
Commercial
Commercial doors carry more hardware than most people notice: cylinders, exit devices, closers, strikes, keypads. When one part fails the door stops behaving. We service and replace all of it and set up key systems that survive staff changes.

Which fix fits?
Tap a situation. The answer opens here.
If The patio slider has only the factory latch.
Then A keyed auxiliary lock or a bolt into the track.
Sliders lift out or pop their latch; a second lock fixed to the frame changes that.
If The door from the garage into the house has a knob lock and nothing else.
Then Add a graded deadbolt with a reinforced strike.
That door is often the weakest on the house and the one nobody watches from the street. Deadbolt Installation
