Large patio door opening to an outdoor view

Replacement doors

Choose the way the home should open.

Compare entry doors, patio doors, French doors, and large-opening systems around daily use, security, glass, structure, sill design, weather exposure, and the finished room.

Plan the complete opening

A door changes circulation, structure, water management, and the room.

Conventional replacement doors can often work within an existing opening. Multi-slide, pocket, corner, and folding systems may require structural design, a new sill condition, coordinated drainage, floor recesses, waterproofing, and finish work across a much larger part of the wall.

Begin with the way people will use the opening every day. Then match the panel operation, material, glass, frame, sill, hardware, screen, and performance requirements to that use.

01

Daily traffic

Active panel, passage width, swing, furniture, pets, children, and accessibility.

02

Opening and structure

Wall width, header, jambs, pocket, corner, panel weight, and allowable movement.

03

Sill and exposure

Rain, wind, drainage, pan, threshold height, floor transition, and exterior landing.

04

Exact configuration

Series, layout, handing, glass, finish, hardware, screen, drawings, and warranty.

Door types

Six ways to solve very different openings.

Operation determines the traffic path and where panels go when the door is open. It also changes the structural, sill, screen, hardware, and maintenance decisions around the project.

Steel entry doors with glazed panels in a finished exterior opening
01

Entry doors

The front approach combines security, weather sealing, privacy, daylight, curb appeal, threshold, handing, jamb, lock preparation, sidelites, and transoms.

Good starting point

Front entries, side entries, and openings where a complete prehung exterior-door system is the right scope.

02

Sliding patio doors

Panels move horizontally, preserving interior and exterior swing clearance while supporting broad glass and straightforward daily traffic.

Good starting point

Patios, yards, balconies, and replacement openings where floor space near the door needs to remain clear.

03

Swinging French doors

One or two hinged panels create an architectural transition and a wider active passage, with inswing or outswing details controlled by the system.

Good starting point

Rooms with adequate swing and landing clearance where a hinged appearance and passage width matter.

04

Multi-slide doors

Multiple panels stack together or pocket into a prepared wall. Wider openings require early structure, sill, drainage, panel-storage, and floor coordination.

Good starting point

Large remodels and new construction where broad views and a stronger indoor-outdoor connection justify the additional planning.

Bi-fold door panels opened toward an outdoor area
05

Bi-fold doors

Panels fold and park at one or both sides, clearing most of the opening without requiring a wall pocket.

Good starting point

Wide openings with room for folded panels and a structural and water-management plan designed around the system.

06

In-glass pet doors

Eligible pet doors are integrated into a patio-door glass unit rather than inserted into the primary traffic opening as a removable panel.

Good starting point

Homes that need daily pet access while preserving normal patio-door operation and a cleaner glass-to-frame relationship.

Large-opening discipline

The cleanest openings need the best coordination.

Wide glass walls look simple only after structure, water, panel storage, floor transitions, screens, hardware, and service access have been resolved.

Panel layout

Show every active and fixed panel, direction of travel, handing, stack or pocket location, meeting stile, traffic panel, and final clear opening.

Structure

Header deflection, jamb support, corner conditions, panel weight, rough opening, and fastening must stay within the manufacturer’s current limits.

Water management

Sill selection, pan, drainage, exterior elevation, overhang, exposure, waterproofing, and floor recess work together. One detail cannot rescue a bad assembly.

Finish and service

Interior flooring, exterior paving, stucco or cladding, trim, pockets, screens, hardware access, and future panel service all need room in the plan.

  • Opening-specific elevation or shop drawing
  • Exact sill, threshold, and track detail
  • Structural and header assumptions
  • Glass and safety-glazing specification
  • Drainage, flashing, and waterproofing scope
  • Panel storage, screen, and service access

Door FAQs

Resolve the practical questions before the design is final.

Should I choose a sliding or swinging patio door?

Choose sliding when swing clearance is limited or a simple horizontal traffic path fits the room. Choose swinging when the wider active passage and architectural expression are worth the required interior or exterior clearance.

What is the difference between stacking and pocketing doors?

Stacking panels remain visible beside the opening. Pocketing panels slide into a prepared wall. Pocket systems need added wall width, structural design, drainage, waterproofing, finish coordination, and future service access.

Can a flush sill keep all water out?

A lower transition can reduce the physical step, but it generally requires more careful exposure, drainage, pan, waterproofing, and finish-floor coordination. The lowest-looking sill is not automatically the best weather-management choice.

What should be included in a door proposal?

Require the exact manufacturer and series, dimensions, panel layout, operation, handing, frame or jamb, sill or threshold, glass, finish, hardware, screen, structural assumptions, installation, flashing, finish work, performance data, and warranty.
