Are Sliding Doors Secure?

Our sliding doors have a modular locking mechanism inbuilt into the frame, delivering unparalleled strength and the highest level of security available. As well as this there are expert functions inbuilt such as a decelerator and hidden ‘crash stops’ within the mechanisms so that the security functions do not affect the slim line look of the profile.

Are Sliding Doors Quiet?

Fitted with a multi-wheeled air glide system, the sliding patio doors that Arkay Windows create are perfectly balanced and provide a silent action. The built in brushes sweep away minor debris each time the doors are closed keeping it efficient at all times. You won’t have to worry about noise when operating your sliding doors and you’ll find them easy and simple to use.

Are Sliding Doors Customisable?

As with all of our products, we can tailor your sliding doors to your exact needs and requirements. From a range of colours and handle options, to configuration and panel size and number, we can help create a bespoke solution for your property.
