About Sliding Glass Door

The drawings show the opening size, the track and sill detail, the panel make-up and the anchoring at the jamb and head. Scope turns on the size of the opening and on whether the new unit keeps it, because the wall around the door only changes when the rough opening does. Sliding doors are frequently recorded with window replacement and with lanai or patio work.
