ABSTRACT:
A sliding door assembly having a frame including a head jamb, a bottom sill, two vertical side jambs and a third center jamb for strength and rigidity of the overall frame. A fixed glass panel is mounted in a portion of said frame and a sliding glass panel mounted upon roller structure is mounted in another portion of the frame. The sliding glass panel has an extending fin around at least three sides thereof for cooperative association with weather seal structure provided with the non-movable portions of the assembly. The aluminum sill structure has self-draining slots therein and a replaceable plastic member is provided with the sill for ease of sliding of the sliding glass panel, as well as easy replacement thereof, if needed. Draining slots are also provided in the plastic member which are staggered relative to the slots in the aluminum to minimize wind blow through. The door assembly has an aluminum exterior and a wood interior, with the wood portion being removably attached by spring clips. Three-point locking structure is provided for the sliding glass panel, which is designed so that same can be either right-handed or left-handed, as needed at the actual job site. All portions of the assembly are designed for ease of changeability from one hand to the other.
