My house has a sliding glass door as the main entrance and I need a solution to have it secure from tiny hands. My problem is it needs to be able to unlock and lock on both sides of the door so a pin drop or cross bar won’t work.

they asked for advice on a door to protect a child, not a lesson on municipal code. go out there and fix it yourself.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 14 points 2 years ago

While they did, they cannot simply ignore municipal code with their solution.

[-] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 years ago

Au contrere. one can simply ignore municipal code. happens often and everywhere, not to mention evrerwhere it doesn't exist. unless it's enforced, and that's the key. also, i'm not against building to code. just realistic.

[-] jmcs@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 2 years ago

Yes, and that's how people get killed in completely preventable ways.

[-] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Again, I am not against building to code. "Code" doesn't exist in much of the world, and sometimes the materials aren't available to make it possible.

[-] lauha@lemmy.one 2 points 2 years ago

Municipal code is usually to prevent people from dying. It's simply dumb to ignore it in a case like this.

[-] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

you know what, for all builders and contractors: please build things in a way that people don't die. forgot about that part.

Right, better to let them burn alive in a fire instead of pointing that out, right?

[-] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Nope, that's on you. Go ahead, cyberpunk007, and explain how to survive.

This comment feels needlessly hostile.

[-] sorebuttfromsitting@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

i'm sorry that I was too aggressive. I still feel that a lot of commenters were throwing shade where it didn't belong.

[-] charlytune@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

That's because it is. These "why don't YOU do something about it" comments always are, I just don't get why people are so aggressive straight out of the starting block.
