Yes, sliding glass doors do have locks. That includes both external and internal sliding glass doors. For us, repairing sliding glass door locks requires all of the same steps as repairing any other kind of lock. That includes replacing the lock if necessary.
If there is a material difference in steps, it would have to be the extra amount of caution that is required to fix a lock that is in close proximity to glass. It might also have to do with us being mindful not to damage the track on which the sliding glass door slides.
