We have a sliding door between the kitchen and hallway, which we are replacing with a better looking door.

I do have another question however, with regards to the way of keeping the door shut.

At present we have a "bolt" that is attached to the door frame (not where opening is) and this is moved into the actual door at the top left (door opens to left hand side).

It is a bit unsightly, but is there any other way of keeping the sliding door closed?

A normal door handle attached to spindle etc, wouldn't be of any use obviously as the door catch can be undone by just sliding the door, and i don't think magnets would be strong enough to keep it closed.

It has to be closed to the pets don't set the alarm off in the hall...
