sarahiki Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 We have a 1963 ranch with a single, windowless door to the patio. I would like to replace it with a full-glass door. I want it to be energy efficient, but also solid in terms of security... I don't want anyone kicking or breaking this door in. I really don't know where to start... what material door to get, where to get it, or who to have install it. Should I contact a professional door & window company? Thanks for any advice. And feel free to PM me if you know any good people. -Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't have room for a slider. It's just a single door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a single door.We almost got that exact door... go to Lowe's... it's sold with the door frame.Door was $250ish though... the one with built-in blinds.... a door guy will charge about $100-$150 to install it.
