How do I lock sliding closet doors?
Hire a ProfessionalHire a professional to install an internal lock built into each end of your sliding door. This locking mechanism includes a bolt that fits into a connector on the wall, making the door lock when the mechanism is turned. International locks on sliding closet doors may cause damage to the surrounding door frame or the doors themselves if you attempt to open them while locked as the doors may pop off their sliding tracks.Do It YourselfCut a piece of wood dowel rod about 1/8 inch shorter than the length of one of your sliding doors. Press the dowel down into the track of the sliding door to prevent the door from opening.
