In case of the double acting doors, only the center hung hinges can be fitted. Many people select the offset pivots as it has higher weight bearing capacity. The reason is because the door weight is borne by the floor in case of offset pivot. The typical offset doors are used in hospitals closets, clinics, police stations, etc. One more common problem that is afflicting the old patio doors is the handle & latch mechanism can be worn or broken. The sliding glass door handle is simple to replace, when you find correct hardware.

You might need to remove old handle on the door as well as take critical measurements to decide correct replacement parts.
