SLIDING/ROLLING PATIO DOOR ANATOMY

Sliding patio doors consist of at least two side-by-side panels, one

may be a xed panel and at least one is an operating panel (options

also include multiple panel patio doors with three or more panels).

The operating panel(s) slide back and forth horizontally to open and

close. An insect screen is mounted on the exterior side of the operating

panel(s). Swinging patio doors swing out on side hinges and may have

single-panel or double-panel congurations.

BASIC OPERATION

Sliding patio doors usually have an interior lever or a lever and key lock

near the handle. To unlock the door, move the lever up; down to lock.

Key cylinders are usually rotated counterclockwise to unlock; clockwise

to lock. Some doors may have a foot lock located on the lower corner

of the operating panel opposite the handle. Pressing the button on the

face in will release the lock. Pressing the button on the top down will

engage the lock. When unlocked, slide the handle toward the center to

open.

Swinging doors will have a key lock on the exterior and a thumb turn

on the interior. When unlocked, the handle can be rotated and the door

swung open.
