Vinyl sliding patio doors are easy to care for, as they don’t need to be refinished. Upgrade your vinyl sliding door with insulated glass to save even more on your energy bills month over month.

• Black Fiberglass Sliding Patio Doors

Frequently Asked Questions

•   How do I apply paint or stain to my Pella wood windows and patio doors?

  • Learn how to paint your wood interior finish, prepare products for finishing, finish removable grilles, select the right paint or stain and more in the Pella Help Library.

•   How do I lock and unlock my sliding patio door?

  • The thumbturn lock is located behind or above the door handle. To lock the door, turn the thumbturn lock to a vertical locked position. The locking system will engage when the door is closed. To unlock the door, turn the thumbturn lock in the opposite direction to a horizontal position.

    If your sliding patio door is equipped with a footbolt lock, it has two positions. One allows the door to be latched when it's about 3 inches open; the other provides extra security when the door is fully closed.

    To engage the lock, move the lock handle toward the side of the door. To disengage the lock, move the lock handle toward the center of the door.

•   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.
