As many customers are sadly aware, a closed ranch slider can often be mistaken for an open space resulting in people walking into the glass. This can have awful consequences if the glass is standard annealed glass that shatters and splinters. For your safety the glass in ranch sliders and large sliding doors should be laminated or toughened safety glass.

We recommend ensuring any glass that is currently not safety glass is replaced, especially if you have young children. Tip: in the meantime, before this is replaced, placing a brightly coloured sticker over the glass at eye level can help avoid accidents.
