How to childproof a sliding glass door that can be unlocked and locked inside and out
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?
I've only ever seen deadbolts on swinging doors but this has gotta be a thing for sliding doors also
Just rotate 90°. I don't know the easiest way to drill through it, but a decent handyman could probably do it.
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
