McKinney Glass was founded in Yakima in 1958 by Guy McKinney, grandfather of present owner, Mike McKinney. From the very beginning, the McKinney family has been committed to hands-on, personal service to their customers. They have also been strong supporters of their friends and neighbors throughout Yakima as members of community service organizations, and by serving on a variety of community boards.

Mike McKinney began his work in the family glass business in 1993, following his graduation from the University of Washington. When father Rus retired in 2002, Mike became the third McKinney to own the glass company. Mike continues to serve the community as an active member of many community organizations including Yakima Rotary, the Chamber of Commerce, United Way, YMCA, Central Washington Home Builders and the Better Business Bureau. Mike is a certified Continuing Education instructor for insurance agents, having awarded CE credits to over one hundred insurance professionals in Yakima. The courses cover such topics as proper glass installation and its effect on safety, the collision repair process, vehicle inspection, claims management, and business ethics.

Locksmiths questions, answered by experts

There are several ways to add security to a sliding glass door. To start, install a rod or deadbolt lock instead of the flip-lock that comes standard with most sliding glass doors. Add a sensor to the door and monitor any activity through your home security system.

Finally, installing shatterproof window film will help keep the structural integrity of the glass if it cracks.

It’s best to avoid using oil-based lubricants within a lock because they attract larger amounts of dust and debris. When this occurs, it can make it harder for you to operate the lock, or it can even cause damage to the internal locking mechanism. A dry lubricant is the ideal solution instead.

Regrettably, entirely pick-proof locks don't exist unless you opt for keyless varieties. Locks advertised as "pick-proof" are, in reality, more resilient against lock-picking and bumping attempts because of complex mechanisms consisting of pins and sidebars. These locks work like this—they assign two tasks to the key, enhancing security by making unauthorized entry more challenging.

Locksmiths typically recommend using a dry lubricant, such as a Teflon-based option, instead of the popular oil-based lubricants you can purchase at almost any store. Dry lubricants leave a non-stick, water-repellent coating instead of attracting more dirt and debris like an oil-based lubricant. You can find these at a hardware store; some are made explicitly for lock use.

There are many types of deadbolts, but these tips work on most. First, address any grime buildup. A bit of WD-40 will loose up rust and dirt so the deadbolt can turn. Inspect the door and frame alignment if this doesn't resolve the issue. Adjust the strike plate or the deadbolt's position to improve alignment. If the problem persists, disassemble the lock to inspect for damaged or worn parts. If you are unsure how to do it, hire a local locksmith.
