Just asking; What do you think you would gain from locking a screen door? If a bad person wanted in, would that stop them?

Guessing this is the door from outside leading into the patio. Once in, you (should) have a glass door leading into the house. That would be the one to lock. This, if broken, will at least make noise.

Personally we don't leave/have anything of great value on our patio. Patio chairs, lamps, book or two, table, and odd stuff. If a bad person really needs that stuff, we will have safety in numbers!!
