sliding glass doors

i've heard a lot of ppl saying that they keep sliding glass doors closed with a rubber wedge. i'm not really sure how that would work so if anyone has pics that would help

I have never used a rubber wedge. I have heard that there is some sort of baby-proof lock that works very well on sliding doors, however. I have not bothered to look for one. They are the type of locks you see parents putting in their kitchens so young children cannot get at dangerous stuff.

Another thing that works is to cut wooden dowels to fit in the track which prevent the doors from sliding. Easy to pop out.

I got one of the lock w/key like they use for jewelry store display cases just the other day at Home Depot for $4.97 plus tax. Glass shops usually carry them, too, but they cost more there.

Here's a link to one similar to what I got in case you're interested. I couldn't find the lock on HD's website, but then again, I can hardly find anything on their site.

ok, what you need to do is bend a piece of a coat hanger into a hook. It's hard to explain, but if done properly it fits great and looks good, and locks in and out very easily.
