A reinforcement system for installation on sliding glass doors and windows to reinforce those structures against storm force winds, such as those experienced during a hurricane. An elongate rigid member is affixed to interior portion of the sliding glass doorframe by threaded fasteners to provide increased structural integrity. The elongate rigid member comprises a generally hollow member formed of extruded aluminum having a length that is generally equal to the height of the interior side frame member of the sliding glass door. The elongate rigid member is preferably installed on the side frame member disposed generally at or near the center of the opening in a two-door installation. Additional members may be used for installations having more than two doors. Once installed, the elongate rigid member increases the structural integrity of the sliding glass door structure by increasing the ability of the door to withstand being blown inward (or outward) by storm force winds.
