A sliding door's long-term performance comes down to three things: the track system, the number of panels, and the quality of the rollers.

Heavy-duty, stainless-steel rollers on a properly aligned track glide smoothly for years; budget rollers wear down and start sticking or dropping within a couple of seasons of daily use.
Panel count affects both opening width and structural load — a 2-panel, 2-track system suits smaller openings, while 3-panel or lift-and-slide systems suit larger balcony and garden openings.
Always check the locking mechanism too — multi-point locks anchored into a reinforced frame offer far better security than a single center latch.
