What Is the Standard Size of a Sliding Patio Door?


Size depends on the chosen design type:

  • Single door systems are 5, 6 or 8 feet by 6 feet 8 inches and 8 feet high.

  • Double designs are 5, 6 or 8 feet by 6 feet 8 inches and 8 feet high.

  • If you wish, you can order a custom-made structure that takes into account the size you need.


 

How Do You Measure a Patio Sliding Door?



  1. To determine the width of the door, measure the door from the jamb to the jamb with a tape measure. The figures obtained represent its approximate opening.

  2. To get accurate numbers, the width is measured at the top, center and bottom of the doorway. Start with side jambs in the widest available part. The smallest of the three dimensions is the data you need.

  3. To determine the height, take three measurements: Left, Center and Right of the bottom rail. The smallest of these three dimensions is the number you need in your calculations.

  4. The depth of the doorway: measure the width of the casement without the trim, as well as the distance from the edge to the edge of the existing door frame.


When ordering, show the contractor all three measurements.
