Three-panel sliding patio doors (sometimes called gliding doors) are composed of three glass door panels. One of the door panels will slide horizontally to open and close. Any one of the three panels—left, right or center—can be the operable panel. The sliding takes place on smooth rollers, which are hidden in channels. As sliding patio doors are quite common, and often in high traffic areas, they occasionally need replacement. We sell only the top quality vinyl replacement sliding doors for your Southern California home or business.

Common Applications

Three-panel sliding patio doors are commonly used in bedrooms and family living areas. They work equally well for ground floor rooms and multi-story homes. They are a great choice for enjoying the beautiful Southern California weather and sunshine. Sliding patio doors are also available with built-in pet doors.

Sliding patio doors are very common, so most people already know how they operate. With three-panel sliding patio doors, one of the doors is mobile and simply slides horizontally over an adjacent stationary door. The operable panel can be the right, left or center panel. If you choose to have the center panel be your operable door, you can choose to have the panel slide open in either direction.

  • Common and easy to operate
  • Great for nearly any patio or deck
  • Slimmer frame than French doors
  • Maximizes natural light and view to the outdoors
  • Available in standard sizes or can be customized

Each door type has its benefits and things to consider. When considering three-panel sliding doors for your Southern California home or business, here are a few things to keep in mind.

  • Sliding patio doors do not hinge outward like French hinged patio doors. So although they don’t interfere with furniture or decorations, they don’t provide as wide an opening because two of the three panels are fixed in place.
  • As additional panels are added, the view-able area becomes larger. Three-panel doors offer a wider view than standard two-panel doors, but they also create a busier view when closed because they have an additional post.
  • When compared to four-panel doors, three-panel patio doors provide a less obstructed view, only two posts, but less opening space as it opens only 1/3 of the door. Conversely, four-panel doors provide a more obstructed view, with three posts, but a larger opening area (opens 1/2 of the door).
