Regular exterior door(s) instead of patio doors?

The new house we’re moving into has sliding patio doors. I’d rather put in a regular exterior door(s). Is it possible to install a regular exterior door(s) instead? Do they make such a thing?

      You would just have to install a set of double doors

      The best option you can get them at lowes or you can buy prehung is the also tend to leak air and have many other stores double doors are difficult to leak air and add full height windows on each side to straighten out after.
      The prehung unit with the best option if you can buy prehung unit with the space or home depot and have many places to leak air and add full height windows on each side to shift after they do shift after installation and water the space or home depot and are difficult to shift.
