Before
The opening
The sliding door glass was broken, leaving a large residential opening exposed.
Project details
A sliding door opening needs protection that fits the doorway, not just the broken glass.
Sliding and patio doors are wide openings. Once glass breaks, the home can be exposed to weather and access, so the opening has to be secured before replacement glass is installed.
Secured
The temporary securing
The door remained secured while the correct replacement glass was prepared. The home remained protected while the correct sliding-door glass was prepared.

Sliding door glass questions
These are the questions customers usually need answered when the damage looks similar.
Can a sliding door opening be covered temporarily?
Yes. A temporary cover or board-up can secure the opening before final glass repair.
Is sliding door glass handled like a normal window?
No. Sliding and patio doors are large residential openings, so the panel size and door system matter.
Can you help if the opening is exposed overnight?
Yes. The first step is to protect the opening so the home is not left exposed.
