When Sliding Glass Doors are Not Correctly Installed

There are multiple benefits to adding sliding glass doors to your home. Whether you prefer classic French doors or bold contemporary doors, your new patio doors give you better views of your backyard, increased ventilation, and a whole lot more. What you may not realize is that poorly installed sliding glass doors often create more problems than they solve.

When you cut corners on sliding glass door installation, it can lead to a number of serious problems over time. One of the most common problems is a loose or damaged frame. This doesn’t just make your door more difficult to operate; it may cause your energy bills to skyrocket by causing drafts and additional heat transfer. Unfortunately, improperly installed sliding glass doors can expose your home and family to even bigger risks.

Any access point on your home, from windows to doors, provide a layer of security between your home and the outside world. Even if your home’s entry door is secure, your sliding glass doors may pose bigger risks than you imagine. If your door’s frame is damaged or loose, it creates an opening for intruders. Sliding glass doors that are loose can be lifted off of the track and tilted out for easy access to your home. Although additional lock and security systems may help, there’s no substitute for high-quality sliding glass door installation.
