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.

What does the lock look like? Does unlocking on one side mean the lock portion on the other side moves too?

If it's like the sliding doors I know with the flat lock, you could use something like this and keep it flat to lock.

The current lock just latches onto a small metal bar… if someone pulled hard enough it would just bend open.
