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]

56 comments fedilink hide all child comments

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.

How about a traditional deadbolt at the top or bottom?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Deadbolt at the top can cause the door to shift out of its tracks when pulled on and if it’s at the bottom it’s easily accessible to tiny hands playing with it. If I place it more in the top centre it’ll be Duffy to reach with a key unless it’s electronic.. and that comes with many other issues
