    Yes! I have them on my patio sliding glass door and love them! It has one header across the top and then two blinds.


    The Roman blind over the door that opens I usually keep up because we use the door a lot. The other blind is usually about a third of the way down the door.


    What I like is that the blinds in my open midcertury ranch all match. It keeps the sliding door from looking stark and really holds in warm for the winter. Great for privacy; but since I have great neighbors I don't drop them down much.

    Might be kinda cumbersome to bend over fetch the cord and put them up. Plus could be a hazard to kids and pets who could strangle in the cord.
