Looks like you need a few of these. We have them on ALL closet doors here.

These look hopeful - how do they install?

I currently have velcro and bungee cords on the door handles, plus boxes of paper in front of the break where the door folds. My guys like to work it from the bottom and have actually popped the door off the runner in the past so not sure that something at the top of the door will stop them, but it would be worth a try...

They are very easy to use, when the door is open you slide it over one the doors then once it's closed you slide it over the gap between the two halves of the doors. Tricky part is remembering to slide it over when you want to open the door. That took a little while to remember. They are clear so you kind of forget they are there.

Thanks, I may give them a try...

They work great for bi fold doors, but I haven't really seen them for sliding doors. All of ours are bifold or regular doors.

There is a product available for sliding doors. My sister , member "Sue", uses them to keep the her grandsons off the pool deck.

Last week we had a big snow storm here in the northeast and my area got over 30 inches of snow. Lots of snow blew through the screens on my porch and Leo and Smooch loved it! At first there was a lot of paw shaking and tip toeing until they discovered it was slippery. Running and sliding and smacking at the snow. I finally shoveled paths out back to take them for walks. Both did exactly the same thing first time out which was to try and jump up on the snow which didn't work out very well. Between the snow, the cold air, and going for walks again, both of them fall over and zonk out.
