French Doors That Add Elegance and Light

Classic glass-paneled doors that open wide to your patio, deck or garden, built with modern seals and locks.

French Doors by RemodelPro

French doors have been a favorite for centuries, and for good reason. Two hinged glass doors that swing open together create a wide, gracious opening, fill a room with light and give any home a touch of timeless style.

Today's French doors look classic but perform like modern doors. Insulated low-E glass, multi-point locking systems and adjustable sills help them seal tightly against weather and resist forced entry, solving the drafts and rattles common with older French doors.

We install exterior French doors as patio or garden entries, and can replace an existing sliding door or create a new opening as part of a larger remodel.

Why Homeowners Love French Doors

Wide Opening

Both doors open fully for easy movement of people, furniture and outdoor entertaining.

Abundant Light

Large glass panels brighten rooms and frame the view to the outdoors.

Multi-Point Locks

Locking points at the top, middle and bottom pull the doors tight for security and a better seal.

Timeless Style

Grille patterns, finishes and hardware let you match traditional or modern homes.

Modern Efficiency

Insulated glass and quality weatherstripping keep rooms comfortable year-round.

French Door Configurations

Several layouts are available depending on your space and how you'd like the doors to open.

In-Swing French Doors

Doors open into the room; the traditional choice and easy to fit with screens on the outside.

Out-Swing French Doors

Doors open outward, saving interior space and naturally pressing tighter against the frame in high winds.

Hinged Patio Door (One Active Panel)

One door opens while the other stays fixed, giving the French look in a slightly narrower opening.

French-Style Sliding Doors

Wide stiles and rails that mimic French doors, with sliding operation that needs no swing space.

Planning for French Doors

Because French doors swing, plan for the space they'll need. In-swing doors need clear floor area inside, so check furniture placement. Out-swing doors need room on the deck or patio and work best where they're not exposed to strong winds that could catch them when open.

Screens are another consideration. In-swing doors can use sliding or retractable screens on the outside, while out-swing doors typically need screens on the inside. We'll go through these details so there are no surprises after installation.

French Doors

Frequently Asked Questions

Are French doors energy-efficient?
Modern French doors are much more efficient than older models thanks to insulated low-E glass, better weatherstripping and multi-point locks that pull the doors tight. Because they have more seams than a sliding door, a careful installation is especially important.
Should my French doors swing in or out?
In-swing doors are traditional and easier to screen, but they need clear interior space. Out-swing doors save interior space and resist wind pressure well, but need clear space outside. We'll help you decide based on your room and patio layout.
Can I replace a sliding door with French doors?
Often, yes. Standard sliding door openings can frequently accept French doors without major framing changes. We'll measure to confirm and check for any needed adjustments to flooring or the threshold.
Are French doors secure?
Quality French doors with multi-point locking hardware and solid frames are secure. The locks engage at several points along the doors, making them much harder to force than older French doors with a single latch.
Can I get blinds for French doors?
Yes. Many French doors are available with blinds sealed between the glass panes, which stay clean and won't rattle when the door moves. Surface-mounted blinds and shades are another option.
