Although I'm asking about a door, I thought it was really closer to a giant sliding window. I got so much helpful info here, I thought I'd try again!
I would like to replace my ancient Anderson sliding door with a fancier French Style Sliding door. I'm in MD and have the standard 6" - 6'8" door.
I know about glass now, but nothing about the mechanics of a sliding door.
Any specifics I should look for?
I got a quote on an Andersen Series 400 door, but I'm not especially crazy about all wood, or the price. I saw that Milgard had both a vinyl and fiberglass French Style slider.
Any words of wisdom about this style of door or brand recommendations?

Thanks.

Pretty good door. Best selling item that we ever had in their line. No problems to speak of in our dealing with them.
