As far as locking your sliding glass door all you need is a dowl rod or a piece of wood cut to fit in the track of the door when it's closed. It's very easy to lock and unlock too.

Thank goodness that you're alright and that he decided not to come on into the house. I'm sure that it was very scary when you found out.
