I have what is described in my master bedroom but theres a problem.. The left hand door has a slider lock at the top only, which is fine. There is a lock on the right hand door but it easily is opened with any slight pressure on the doors. I suspect this is the case because there is no anchor or slider at the bottom of the left hand door to make it rigid and prevent ants give. The problem is that we just had new hardwood floors installed and dont want to drill into them for the door anchor. Any suggestions on how we can have a locked room?

That's why there is only a slider lock at the top.

Screw |_

the other?

Or do you want to lock them when you're not home?

Is this to keep little kids out while you're making more little kids or are you trying to slow down some do-bads while you grab your Clint Eastwood special?

How secure do you need it? You can always use a vertical dead bolt
that will lock the 2 doors together
