How to childproof a sliding glass door that can be unlocked and locked inside and out (lemmy.ca)

submitted 1 year ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

My house has a sliding glass door as the main entrance and I need a solution to have it secure from tiny hands. My problem is it needs to be able to unlock and lock on both sides of the door so a pin drop or cross bar won’t work.

I could use more information.

Is the door keyed? Key hole on outside and a lever on the inside?

Yes the current lock is a simple toggle that grabs an edge of the door on the inside. There is a keyhole on the outside which pushes the lever up unlatching the clasp from the edge of the door edited spelling errors
