What you described above is a properly installed sliding door. With the
sliding mechanism on the inside you just put a wood dowel or small clamp
preventing the slider from moving. This cannot be done if the sliding
mechanism is in the outside.


Oh jeez. If the slider is on the outside, the door was installed
bass-ackwards. The stationary panel is outside on a double door
slider.

If you need to get in, use a red fire axe.
