Where it can fit
Paired doors create a wider passage and a balanced architectural opening. They require careful coordination of active leaf, astragal, flush bolts, threshold, locks, and surrounding structure.
How to compare quotes
Compare active-leaf arrangement, swing, frame and slab construction, glass package, hardware preparation, threshold, design pressure, approval, tested size, and installation scope.
What must be verified
Confirm both leaves, exterior-view handing, swing, astragal and bolts, hardware, rough opening, frame finish, glass, design pressure, approval, anchoring, and substrate.
