Security For Sliding Glass Doors
I guess my mind has been on sliding glass doors recently. This time I want to say something about securing sliding glass doors. From researching sliding glass doors, I have come to realise that there is a lot of attention given to the matter of securing them. Apparently thieves see them as a point of vulnerability, and so will target them.
Truly there are additional security concerns one should have because of having sliding glass doors as opposed to regular doors. Just the way the doors open and lock, make them different from regular doors, and they have been proven to be easier to penetrate than normal doors. For example, it is known that the doors can be lifted out of the frame if not secured properly, with perhaps double point locks.
However, if adequate security measures are taken, they can be just as secure if not moreso than your regular doors. So one must know what security measures can and should be taken. Therefore one should do a little research to bridge this knowledge gap. There are actually a number of precautions you can implement yourself. I recommend the article Sliding Glass Door Security Techniques as a starting point.

Improving Lighting And More With Sliding Glass Doors
I have been trying to find ways to improve the lighting in my home. My place is not very big, and the windows don’t really open so well. So I was brainstorming ways to brighten up the place and sliding glass doors came to mind.
Sliding glass doors would be one way to solve my problem, because they allow so much more light in, and that itself can be adjusted with shades or blinds or curtains. Upon doing some research on sliding glass doors, I came to see that there are other advantages too. For example, they now have them such that they can reduce the noise transmission from the outside. They can also add a certain exquisite demeanor to the home which would actually add to the value of the real estate.
Now unfortunately I am not able to go this route, due to lack of funds, as well as other practical considerations that I cannot get into here. (I might go with this idea on a smaller scale, and get sliding glass windows). But sliding glass doors can be a great option. There is really a lot to know about them, and quite a bit of information is readily available to help one know what to look for when shopping for them.
