Yes, our sliding patio doors are designed with the highest levels of security in mind. They meet the Secure by Design accreditation and have been thoroughly tested to PAS-24 standards, making sure they enforce protection over forced entry. 

Our timber sliding patio doors have security features included such as cylinder locking, locking handles and multipoint espagnolette locking system. These work together to deliver resistance to tampering and break-ins, offering homeowners peace of mind without compromising on functionality.

Additional security is offered by the concealed, interlocking aluminium meeting rail, which also contributes to the doors’ exceptional weather performance.

Yes, you can fully customise your sliding patio doors to suit your specifications and requirements. At George Barnsdale, we offer a range of customisable options, such as types of timbers and finishes. 

You can also tailor the glazing options to enhance the energy efficiency, and performance or even include decorative glazing. You can also select from different configurations and styles, so your sliding patio doors perfectly complement your home’s design. 

Yes, sliding patio doors do require some maintenance so they function smoothly and remain secure over time. Regular maintenance typically involves cleaning the tracks to prevent debris build-up, which can hinder the sliding mechanism. 

Lubricating the rollers and hardware can also help maintain easy operation. It’s important to periodically inspect the seals and weather stripping to ensure they remain intact, as this helps with energy and preventing draughts.

While it is technically possible to install sliding patio doors as a DIY project, it is generally not recommended unless you have significant experience with door installations. Sliding doors require precise alignment and professional handling to ensure smooth operation, proper insulation, and long-term security. 

Installation mistakes can lead to issues such as draughts, water leaks, or even compromised security. This is why we recommend making use of our professional fitting service when installing a set of George Barnsdale patio doors, to ensure you get the high performance and longevity that you desire from your new doors.
