Sliding door FAQs
Questions
Common questions before you compare quotes.
Door FAQs.
01Do I need a separate traffic door?
Many sliders use one opening leaf for daily access; bifolds often specify a dedicated traffic door. We mark the daily-use leaf on the drawing.
02How much do sliding patio doors cost?
Width, the number of panes and the system set the band. The sizes on this page are a starting point; survey confirms the track, threshold and glass.
03Are sliding patio doors secure?
Look for a multi-point lock on the moving leaf and an anti-lift detail in the track. Both are specified on the quote rather than assumed.
04Sliding patio or lift and slide?
A sliding patio door is the simpler everyday track. Lift and slide lifts the panel off the seal before it moves, which suits heavier, larger leaves.
05Can you quote without visiting?
Yes. Send outside photographs, rough sizes and the number of openings for a first written price. The survey then confirms manufacture sizes, access, thresholds and finishing details before anything is ordered.
