Welcome to the forums! IMO sliding glass doors never lock well and the best defense is a stick laid in the tract to prevent opening. I've opened many a sliding glass door by taking my putty knife and lifting the door up and down ...... and those were brand new doors [to gain access to paint new construction] Even the pins that go thru both doors can be tapped repeatedly until they 'jump' out. You should be able to get a replacement lock and install it yourself - they aren't complicated.
Thank you very much. You made my life a lot easier with that - I used Angieslist and found a few companies I'll get quotes from.
