Ask The Expert Answer

As I look at your patio door configurations, what is the difference between the "OXXO" and the "XIIX"? We are wanting to have our patio doors open all the way to one side or the other.

The X Panel signifies an operating panel. This panel can only slide to the left or right and has a handle to open the door on it. The I Panel is an intermediate panel, which can slide but does not have a handle on it. I believe this is what you are looking for, as when you open one of the X Panels, it picks up the two I Panels along the way and all four panels can be opened to one size.
