If The patio slider has only the factory latch.
Then A keyed auxiliary lock or a bolt into the track.
Sliders lift out or pop their latch; a second lock fixed to the frame changes that.
If The door from the garage into the house has a knob lock and nothing else.
Then Add a graded deadbolt with a reinforced strike.
That door is often the weakest on the house and the one nobody watches from the street. Deadbolt Installation

Every square is one home in a hundred.
Yes, one way or another. If you choose to rekey, the cylinder is set to a new combination and fresh keys are cut for it on the spot, usually two or three, and tested in each door they should open. If you prefer to keep the existing pinning, a new key can be cut to the lock's code or by decoding the cylinder. Either way you are not left relying on a key that is somewhere else.
Locks rarely fail in a day; they fail slowly over months and announce it in a morning. Grit and old lubricant build up in the pin stacks until one cold night thickens them past the point the key can overcome, or a door that has been drifting on its hinges finally pins the bolt after a humid week. The wiggle you needed last month was the warning. A lock in this state is usually cleaned or adjusted back to health rather than replaced.
The locksmith checks your authority to request the work, examines the door and lock, and tells you what it needs. The knobs, plates and cylinder come off, the case slides out of the door edge and is opened on a bench, cleaned, re-sprung and repaired. Keys are made or the cylinder rekeyed, the door pocket is tidied, everything goes back on, and the strike is adjusted. You test the finished lock from both sides.
Rekeying keeps every lock on the door and changes only the pins inside the cylinder, so a new key works and the old ones stop. Replacing swaps the hardware itself. Commercial cylinders are made to be repinned many times, so rekeying suits any lock in sound condition and leaves the levers, trim and door untouched. Replacement is chosen door by door for cylinders that are worn, corroded or too light for what they protect.
