This is our bedroom and at 5 in the morning in summertime, the light shines in our eyes. Is there a lining that would block the light?

Is there an easy way to change my sliding glass patio door with outside slider to an inside slider?

Chris M asked:


My old sliding glass patio door slides to the outside instead of the inside, which of coarse limits my extra security options. I’ve also read that they are easy to lift off the track and break into from the outside with this type of install. Is there a way to switch this around without too much troubleshooting? I’m an average handyman at best. Or should I think about a replacement? And if a replacement is the answer, what would be more secure: French or sliding patio door? Thanks
