French door security vs. sliding glass doors
Comments (15)First, sliders aren’t very secure, so almost any French door is going to be more secure. Years ago we replaced sliders w/ Anlin French doors in the DR. They use a multi-point locking system that is way more secure than the sliders. Ours are outswing, too, b/c if they were in-swing they’d be too close to chairs on that side w/ someone sitting on the chair. We got operating sidelights so we could have air flow w/ doors closed. I didn’t want a screen door for ease of entry/exit & looks w/ V-grooved glass. The sidelights are screened....See MoreLincoln 4 panel slider and french door?
Comments (2)We moved into a house that had Lincoln windows. Granted they were 30 years old, when we replaced the sliding glass door, it literally fell apart and away from the frame when they took it out. The windows were like ice cubes in the cold and we could have fried an egg on the tile floor in the summer. We replaced them with Marvin and our air conditioning bill was 2/3 what it was the year before. Heat has been similarly less so far as well....See More2 sets of french doors or double sliding patio doors
Comments (23)a few years ago I had Wonderful Windows come out and give me a quote. They said they would have to custom make my door. My slider is 9 ft X 8 ft. My house was built in 1978. The slider in our living area is in bad shape. There is another slider in the master bathroom (of all places) right next to the toilet. That one is smaller....See MoreWindsor Pinnacle Clad vs. Integrity Ultrex Sliding French Door
