How to childproof a sliding glass door that can be unlocked and locked inside and out - eviltoast

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.

    What about a bolt that passes through the door and can be secured and released on both sides eg

    Might take some fiddling to get the bolt back… hmmm

      I like this idea and it could work well. I was considering a latch system but the issue is it would need to go at the top of the door and would be problematic on the outside with the stairs and there can be leverage at the bottom popping the door out of the tracks

          This actually might be the quickest solution even if he opens the door he won’t be able to go through. I’ll look into see if there’s any gates that would work! Thank you!
