I am investigating alternatives for a similar set of stacking sliders. Their configuration does not allow using the usual "pole" or rod type.

One I am seriously considering is using the pin locks shown here:
Prime-Line Sliding Patio Door Pin Lock, with Retaining Ball, Chrome Plated-S 4066 at The Home Depot

My set up would require 4 of them and I have figured the top right corner or each panel the best location. This would require drilling a hole in each location one of these is to be used.
One could get away with using just one in the upper right most corner.

I am installing a Front Point security system and am waiting to actually test the motion sensing and glass break features. If I am satisfied they work as advertised I will not add the hardware alternative above.
