Soundings Lift-and-Slide Doors Q: I'm interested in learning more about lift-and-slide doors. We have trouble with water intrusion from wind-driven rain through sliding glass doors. How does a lift-and-slide door work? I've read that when the door locks, it seats down in its track, compressing the weather stripping. What happens at the head and the sides when the door slips into its track? A: Many of the lift-and-slide doors from makers such as Fenevations, HH Windows and Doors, Weather Shield, Weiland Sliding Doors & Windows, and Zeluck use a European-style locking mechanism that moves the door up and down vertically.
