Sliding door lock failure: What to Check and What to Do Next

Start with safe observations: check whether the panel is fully closed and visually aligned with the jamb, whether the latch or keeper appears offset, and whether the handle or lock control moves normally without force. Note any glass damage, binding, loose hardware, or sill-track obstruction, but do not bypass the lock, remove glass or the door panel, force the handle, or follow an installation procedure.
