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

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.

sounds like a door on the side of a trailer or some such. people live and raise kids in a wide variety of environments.

Yes I’m in a trailer and it’s a stupid door that the Manufacturer put in to “add more natural light” if I have to stay in this trailer for more than a year I’ll take it out and put in an actual door

I'm on your side friend. Your goals are true. Sorry I still don't know the answer.

Hm...I don't think I've heard of trailers having sliding glass doors for the entrance. But I'm really curious as to what this looks like. I've never heard of anyone having a sliding glass door for their main entrance, trailer or not. I'm trying to picture how that locks and unlocks.

Lol. I haven't seen sliding glass doors on trailers either, but I have seen a house with a main sliding glass door. That house also had a regular door on the side, but it was far easier to use the sliding one especially when accessing the property from the street.

I'm not endorsing it, but it definitely happens. It's like this: measure twice. cut once, or more than once. Put door in hole. Fill gaps with whatever caulk gun or whatever. ...

Collect rent.
