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.

Ah. Sorry I missed that.

Remote control then. Getting into the house requires push of a button or typing in code. Getting out can be done with manual turn of deadbolt because inside you’re high enough to reach:

fire failsafe because you’ve got mechanical control when trying to exit even if electricity’s out
harder to copy your key because it’ll be a key fob or something
if you do lose a key you can simply de-authorize it instead of having to change locks
probably cost you a few hundred to a thousand for the hardware and install labor. Just my guesses at price haven’t looked into it
