Removed broken slider glass and installed a replacement panel

The Problem

The patio slider glass was shattered, leaving broken material near the opening and making the backyard entrance unsafe to use.
The existing sliding door frame was still usable, so a full replacement would have been unnecessary.
The priority was to restore safety, protect the home, and keep the slider system intact.

How We Fixed It

We removed the damaged glass from the patio slider and cleaned the surrounding opening.
The existing frame was reviewed before the replacement glass was installed.
After the new panel was set, the opening was checked for fit, safety, and clean appearance so the patio door could return to normal use.

Final Result

The patio slider was restored with new glass, giving the home safer exterior access and a clean finished look while keeping the existing sliding door system.

Is patio door glass a safety concern when it breaks?

Yes. Broken patio slider glass can create sharp debris, exposure, and security concerns, so the opening should be handled carefully and repaired properly.
