Nashville Sliding Glass Doors

Popular Local Trends & Styles

• Vinyl Sliding Doors

  Common in condos, townhouses and homes, vinyl sliding glass doors are a low-maintenance choice that many homeowners prefer. Vinyl sliding doors showcase two panels, one operable and one that slides open for outside access. Vinyl patio doors are easy to clean, aesthetically pleasing and can fit a wide range of home styles from traditional to modern.

• Multi-Slide Patio Doors

  Multi-slide patio doors are created when wood panels are installed and open by overlapping each other. These wooden patio doors are perfect for a midcentury-modern or contemporary home where you’re looking to minimize the door frame and maximize the glass space used. Multi-slide doors are becoming more popular as these patio doors are ideal in creating an indoor-outdoor connection.

• Fiberglass Sliding Patio Doors Built for durability and strength, fiberglass patio doors are a great sliding option for any home. These patio doors are exceptionally energy efficient and easy to care for. If you’re looking for a weather-proof option, these replacement patio doors make a great choice. There is no need to worry about repainting or restaining. Pella’s fiberglass patio doors come with a powder-coated finish that looks like painted wood to fit any style of home from traditional to farmhouse.
• Black Sliding Glass Doors

  Black patio doors are increasingly popular in the Nashville area. Used to highlight against a bright white exterior surface, black patio doors have a clean and modern look perfect for a modern farmhouse home. The black frames are minimal and timeless, making this style of patio door a good option for your home for years to come.

•   My fiberglass sliding patio door won't lock tight. How can I fix this?

  • The lock latch throw may need to be adjusted so that your patio door will lock properly.

    To adjust the lock latch throw, open the door and flip the lock to extend the lock latch. Turn each of the four adjusting screws counterclockwise to decrease the lock latch throw.  Adjust both the upper and lower lock latch for proper operation and tighten the screws.  Close the door to ensure the lock latch is secure or readjust as necessary.

    
    If your sliding patio door still doesn't seem to lock tightly you may need to adjust the latch or the strike on the frame.

    To adjust the latch or the strike on the frame, open the door and loosen the four screws on the strikeplate. Adjust the strikeplate up or down to align with the door lock, then tighten the screws to secure the strikeplate in position.  Close the door to ensure the proper alignment or readjust as necessary.

•   My patio door is hard to open and/or close. How can I fix this?

  • Over time, dirt and debris can get in or on the track (including the rollers), making it harder to open and close the door. To make your patio door easier to open and close, use a vacuum cleaner with the brush attachment and clean out any dirt and debris in the track below the sliding panel. 
    
    If you're still getting resistance after cleaning the track, watch the video as the patio door rollers may need to be adjusted.

    Adjust the rollers up or down to make sure the edge of the movable door panel is parallel to the side of the door frame. The adjustment holes are located on either side of the movable door, near the bottom. To adjust the rollers, remove the plastic hole cap and use a long shaft Phillips-head screwdriver to turn the adjustment screw clockwise to raise the end of the door, or counterclockwise to lower it. Open and close the panel to test for proper operation. If necessary, repeat the adjustment process on the other side of the panel. When the adjustments are complete and the door is operating properly,  replace the plastic caps.
