Product overview

Enough detail to make a useful shortlist.

The door is documented in inswing and outswing configurations from 6 to 8 feet high, with a three-point locking system and optional operable sidelites on eligible inswing layouts.

This page summarizes the documented product. Your final proposal should still name the exact size, configuration, glass, finish, hardware, and installation frame.

Hinged operation

Choose inswing or outswing direction based on traffic, furniture, exposure, and sill conditions.

Three-point locking

The documented locking system secures the panel at multiple points.

Sidelight flexibility

Fixed and eligible operable sidelights expand the opening and daylight.

Anlin coordination

Glass, grids, colors, and hardware directions align with the Anlin window and Malibu sliding-door catalog.

Common questions

What usually needs clarification.

Should the doors swing in or out?

The correct direction depends on room layout, exterior landing, weather exposure, egress, and local code. We verify all of those conditions before ordering.

Can the sidelights open?

Operable sidelights are documented for eligible inswing configurations. The final size and configuration must be checked with the dealer.

Can these match Anlin windows?

Yes. Frame colors, glass packages, grids, and hardware directions can be coordinated across the package, subject to product-specific availability.
