The overall security of a patio door relies on the overall build quality of the door itself. Doors containing aluminium or steel reinforcements will improve the security. They are not nearly as precise and secure as locks. Additionally, patio doors operate on tracks instead of hinges. If you open and close your patio door enough you have probably noticed that it’s easy to have the door slide off its tracks.

In terms of upfront costs, sliding doors tend to be cheaper than French doors. This price difference is often due to the simpler construction and materials used in sliding door designs.
