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.

  • Not being able to exit your home in an emergency without a key is a serious safety problem. In most places it is not permitted.

    International Residential Code R311.4.4 “All egress doors shall be readily openable from the side from which egress is to be made without the use of a key or special knowledge or effort”. Most local codes are derived from this.

        While they did, they cannot simply ignore municipal code with their solution.

          Au contrere. one can simply ignore municipal code. happens often and everywhere, not to mention evrerwhere it doesn’t exist. unless it’s enforced, and that’s the key. also, i’m not against building to code. just realistic.

            Municipal code is usually to prevent people from dying. It’s simply dumb to ignore it in a case like this.

          That’s because it is. These “why don’t YOU do something about it” comments always are, I just don’t get why people are so aggressive straight out of the starting block.

        Right, better to let them burn alive in a fire instead of pointing that out, right?
