  1. Security: Security is sliding doors’ biggest pet peeve. They have been wrongly infamous for not being secure enough. The glass panels on sliding doors offer a good view of your home to intruders but that’s only limited to views as most sliding doors now use double or even triple glass panes that are quite difficult to break into. Further, firms nowadays are manufacturing sliding doors that are equipped with electronic lock systems and alarm systems.
