There is the sliding door itself sometimes called a slider. Hi can anyone advise me on reversing french doors at present they open outwards would it be possible to remove them then refit them to open inwards thanx in advance.

Pretty unlikely that you can just reverse the doors due to the frame itself having it s mouldings and cills placed for the current configuration. The slider has several components you must consider when reversing the sliding door. They can be switched end for end to screw to either door leaf and reverse handing it is a ten minute job in a door shop so i suggest you find out from your supplier who. Check to see if that is what you have.
