I think you should call a locksmith. They might tell you without charging you, if you can prove it's your house. I fear telling you in this forum might educate some dishonest people.

Lboogie is right if it is an older door, you have to lift it off the track. Since most older sliding glass doors work with a small hook locking mechanism that comes down and catches a pin, and the glass is only secured in position by its hangers, the overlap of the inner glass, and an exterior metal lip, you physically have to lift the door off the track. I've done it with two flat head screwdrivers when I was locked out of my house.

First, file a police report. It could have been a possible break in. Then, you would need proof you were gone and no one else was there like a house-sitter. If it was empty, obviously you couldn't have caused nor your guests caused the damage. Therefore, that makes it the landlord's fault since it was caused by persons unknown.

it usualy depends on the type of glass door. Some you can push and slide it open at the same time, others u cant open unless you have some tools.

Do you really think we are dumb enough to fall for that. If you are locked out how did you get to your computer. Sure it's a lap top I know heard em all. Your neighbor wouldn't like you visiting without them being at home.

Since you have access to a computer, throw it through the door.
