    glue rather than drill upvc door

    As Glassman says they are always screwed on. When you buy the knocker make sure it is the "threaded bolt with a nut type" not just screwed on from the outside. Be careful when you drill the panel you only get one chance! Good Luck :)

    Tilt and slide doors

    I have to agree with the other guy to tall for full height, you can get T+S gearing that size but combined with the width i would also advise against it. I am not big fan of T+S patios if not fabricated and installed correctly they are a pain. I wouldnt worry about them falling out...
