Patio door ramps
Ramps for sliding glass and patio doors
Sliding glass doors and patio doors usually have a raised track or sill on both sides, which can stop a wheelchair's front casters, catch a walker, or trip someone carrying something. A patio door threshold ramp gives the track a smooth slope on one or both sides so you can roll in and out of the house to the deck, patio, or yard. We carry patio door ramps from National Ramp, SafePath, PVI, AlumiRamp, and American Access.
Built for door tracks
Low-profile ramps sit right against the track so wheels roll over it instead of catching.
Inside and out
Use one ramp on the outside step-down, or a pair to cover both sides of the track.
Weather-ready
Rubber and aluminum ramps hold up to sun, rain, and snow on patios and decks.
Sizing
How do I measure for a patio door ramp?
- Measure each side separately. Measure from the floor inside up to the top of the track, then from the patio or deck outside up to the top of the track. They're often different heights.
- Measure the door opening. Measure the clear width of the open sliding panel. Choose a ramp at least as wide as the wheelchair, and ideally as wide as the opening.
- Check clearance. Make sure the sliding panel and screen door still open and close with the ramp in place.
| Rise on each side | Typical choice | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 1" | Rubber threshold ramp | Low profile, stays put, cut to fit the track |
| 1" – 3" | Rubber or aluminum threshold ramp | Gentle slope over a taller track |
| 3" – 6" | Aluminum or adjustable threshold ramp | Covers a deck or patio step-down |
| Over 6" | Portable or modular ramp | Needed for steps down to the yard |
Many threshold ramps are built at a set slope for each height, so check the rise chart on each product page.

FAQ
Patio door ramp questions
Do I need a ramp on both sides of my sliding door?
Usually, yes. Most sliding door tracks are raised above the floor on the inside and above the patio on the outside. Measure each side; if both have a lip, use a ramp on each side so the wheels roll smoothly in both directions.
Will a threshold ramp block my sliding door or screen?
Not if it's sized correctly. Place the ramp up against the track without covering it, so the sliding panel and screen still glide. Rubber ramps can be trimmed if you need more clearance.
Can I leave a patio door ramp outside year-round?
Yes. Rubber and aluminum ramps are made for outdoor use and won't rust or rot. Keep them clear of snow, ice, and debris for safe footing.
How do I keep a patio door ramp from sliding?
Rubber ramps are heavy and grip the surface on their own. For a permanent fit, rubber ramps can be secured with an adhesive sealant like SikaFlex 1A, and many aluminum ramps can be screwed down.
What if my patio is a full step below the door?
For step-downs of about 3" to 6", an aluminum or adjustable threshold ramp usually works. For anything higher, you'll want a portable ramp or a modular ramp with handrails. Call us and we'll help you size it.
Are patio door ramps safe for walkers and scooters?
Yes. They help anyone with wheels or limited mobility, including wheelchairs, power chairs, scooters, walkers, and rollators. Check that the ramp's weight rating covers the user and the device together.
Not sure which ramp fits your patio door?
Send us the height on each side of your track, the door width, and a photo, and our ramp experts will recommend the right ramp for free.
