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.

Can you put a baby gate between the stationary pane and the frame?

Also, consider crossposting to !dadsplain@lemmy.ca. Not sure if you are a dad, but they're not too picky. !homeimprovement@lemmy.world and !diy@lemmy.ml are good choices, too.

I’ll look at cross posting thanks for the advice!
