Abstract:
A sliding door locking and venting device including an elongated cylindrical rod having a total length slightly less than a slide track for a sliding door. The cylindrical rod is positionable within the slide track to prevent the sliding door from being moved. The cylindrical rod includes separable first and second sections. The first section is substantially greater in length than the second section. The second section is linearly aligned with the first section in a first orientation within the slide track to prevent the sliding door from being moved. The second section is removed from the slide track in a second orientation to allow the sliding door to be open slightly for ventilation purposes. A connecting cord extends between the first and second sections of the elongated cylindrical rod.
