RAM Windows & Doors · Dallas, TX
Sliding Doors
Sliding door systems from RAM's own range and LaCantina — wide spans, smooth motion, glass specified for Texas sun.
The sliding door is the hardest-working system in a Texas home — opened daily, spanning the widest opening, facing the worst sun. RAM supplies sliding doors from our own manufactured range and from LaCantina, specified per opening rather than per brand loyalty: panel counts, stacking and pocketing configurations, sill profiles and glass packages matched to how the room actually lives.
Our gallery shows RAM sliding systems in real Texas projects — including large multi-panel installations — because with sliders, photographs of finished work say more than specifications. The spec still matters: rollers rated for the panel, tracks that stay true, drainage that handles Gulf-grade rain in Houston and Hill Country storms in Austin.
What You Get with Our Sliding Doors
Manufactured & supplied systems
RAM sliding systems plus LaCantina lines where they fit — chosen per opening, not per sales quota.
Wide-span capability
Multi-panel configurations for the big Texas openings modern plans are built around.
Smooth engineered motion
Rollers and tracks specified for the panel's true weight — the one-hand glide test, passed.
Glass for Texas sun
Low-E packages by elevation so the wall of glass does not become a wall of heat.
Low-profile sill options
Transitions that respect the indoor-outdoor floor line your design intends.
One accountable source
Specified, supplied and supported by the manufacturer — no finger-pointing between brands.
Options & Materials
Sliding configurations include standard two-panel, multi-panel stacking, pocketing (where wall construction allows), and corner arrangements on selected systems. Glass packages scale from clear insulated to high-performance low-E and laminated. Sills range from weather-rated to low-profile. Because RAM manufactures and also supplies LaCantina, the specification conversation is genuinely comparative: two engineering approaches on the table, priced, with the trade-offs explained by people who install both.
How the Job Works, Step by Step
- 1
Consultation & design
We start with your windows, your light and your privacy needs. You see materials and samples, we take exact measurements, and together we settle the design, finish and hardware for every opening.
- 2
Written quote, no pressure
You receive a written quote covering making, delivery and installation — the full job, itemized. Take your time to compare; the price does not change because you thought about it.
- 3
Custom manufacturing
Your order is made to measure in our own workshop. Because we build it ourselves, odd sizes, arches and specialty shapes are normal work for us — not expensive exceptions.
- 4
Professional installation
Our own installers fit the finished products, level and secure every unit, adjust the operation and check the finish in daylight before they call the job done.
- 5
Walkthrough & support
We walk every room with you, show you how to operate and care for everything, and leave you with our phone number. If anything ever needs adjusting, you call the people who made it.
Care & Maintenance
Sliding doors stay smooth with monthly track vacuuming, clear sill drainage, and yearly roller and lock lubrication. Never force a dragging panel — call for a roller adjustment while it is still small. Wash aluminum frames with mild soap; keep landscape sprinklers from hammering the sill line daily, a Texas-specific habit that ages any door early.
What Affects the Price?
No two homes in Dallas are the same, so honest pricing starts with a look at your actual project. These are the factors that move the number most:
- Overall width and panel count
- Stacking, pocketing or standard configuration
- Glass package and any impact or laminated requirements
- Sill type and floor transition work
- Structural preparation of the opening

Sliding Doors — Frequently Asked Questions
How wide can a RAM sliding door be?+
Multi-panel systems span very wide openings when the structure allows. Send dimensions or plans and we will specify the largest practical system — RAM manufactures, so sizes are flexible.
Do you offer pocketing sliders?+
Between RAM's own sliding systems and the LaCantina lines we supply, most configurations are covered — stacking, pocketing and multi-track arrangements included.
Are sliding doors secure?+
Laminated glass options and multi-point locking systems are available; we will walk you through the security specification for your opening.
What does a sliding door cost?+
Sliding doors are quoted per project — size, panels and glass decide it. The Price Guide on this site has market ranges for planning; your written quote is exact.
How much do sliding doors cost?+
The honest answer is that it depends on size, material and the condition of the existing opening. Beware of anyone who quotes a firm price without measuring. RAM Windows & Doors measures first and then gives you a written quote with the full price — free — so you can compare it properly.
How long does a typical sliding doors project take?+
Measuring and ordering take the first part of the timeline; the on-site work for most homes is completed in a day. Larger or custom projects take longer, and we give you the schedule in writing before you commit, so you can plan around it.
Do you offer free estimates?+
Yes — call (469) 520-7866 and we will arrange a free consultation and written quote. There is no obligation and no pressure to decide on the spot.
Do you serve my part of Dallas?+
RAM Windows & Doors serves the areas listed on our Service Areas page. If your neighborhood is close to a listed area but not named, call us — we will tell you straight away whether we can reach you.
What should I prepare before installation day?+
Clear the area around each opening, take down curtains or blinds if we are not replacing them, and move fragile items away from the work zone. Our team protects floors and furniture, and removes the old units and packaging when the job is done.
Can sliding doors be customized for unusual sizes or shapes?+
In most cases, yes. Arches, angled tops, oversized openings and out-of-square frames are measured individually and made or ordered to fit. Bring us the awkward opening — it is usually the one that benefits most from a custom solution.
What information helps my quote be accurate?+
Rough measurements (width × height in inches), a photo of each opening, and a note about what you want to change. Send those when you call (469) 520-7866 and your written quote will be faster and closer to the final number.
What happens if something is not right after the job?+
Call us. RAM Windows & Doors stands behind its work: if something we supplied or installed is not right, we come back and make it right. That is how a local business keeps its name — one fixed problem at a time.
