Check out a lock like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DR9CMGZ

Mount it near the top of the door, out of reach of the small escape artist.

I had exactly the same problem and this solved it.

Thanks for the tip. I just ordered some. I'm worried this style won't work for my front door, unless I can mount it above the door. I have a fiberglass double door...

Using two of these between the levers for now: https://www.amazon.com/U-Shaped-Proofing-Cabinets-Adjustable...

Other options involve drilling into the door face which I'm not keen on...

Also, I ordered some of these too https://www.snappower.com/pages/huglock
