Hi, I wanna keep my balcony door open a little (maybe 7-10cm) allowing air flow for my cat but prevent anyone from entering, how can I achieve this?
I tried to buy a window lock but realised it’s not working for my door like this. 🙁

You can put some wood in the inside door railing to prevent the door sliding inward?
Cut a metal bar or wooden plank that can fit in the bottom of the track where your door slides to stop it opening further
Go to Bunnings and buy some dowel. You will need to cut to size. I used a saw.

You need this attached to the back of the door into the frame below.
