What does everyone use to keep their sliding glass doors closed. I don't really need locks, but I need something to make sure they don't open. Any suggestions.

Supposedly there is some sort of "baby lock" that can be used to secure double sliding glass doors. I have never actually looked for one much less seen it in person.
You could always put dowls in each side of the track and block both doors. You'd have to remove the front one in order to slide that door open enough to access the back one.

They sell them at Home Depot, and they work pretty well.

Here is the basic sliding door lock. They work very well and are fairly cheap. You can also find these locks at home depot and local harware stores. Hope that helps you out a bit.

i havent ever used this method but i've seen it done, basically you fold a piece of thin metal rod into like an "S" shape. what you're trying to do it make it so that the overlap in the glass is "held on to" by the wire, for added safety you can put a screw into the front of the cage and have it secure to that i know it's not perfect, but for what you're looking for at least it sort of gives you an idea.
