The right patio doors refresh your home by seamlessly linking the indoors to the outdoors. They also let in natural light that brightens rooms and brings out colors and textures.
Your new glass door must also be durable and secure against intruders. Milgard’s Tuscany series offers a multi-point locking system that exceeds forced-entry security standards.
Sliding Doors
Sliding doors in Mandeville LA offer a clear view of the outdoors and allow more natural light to enter the home. They also help reduce energy bills by shielding you from the sun’s harsh rays.
You can choose from different options that include a variety of finishes and grille profiles. This allows you to match your door with your home’s aesthetic and design scheme. For instance, traditional aesthetics can be complemented by brass or bronze hardware while modern styles are best suited for sleek chrome finishes.
Sliding patio doors are easy to operate and have a simple design that makes them easy to clean and maintain.

Bifold Doors
There’s something special about a bifold door that elevates your home with seamless indoor-outdoor flow and plenty of natural light. They’re perfect for bringing people together for barbecues and parties, allowing you to bring your indoor living outdoors.
Interior and exterior bifold doors have multiple panels that fold neatly into the space of a frame. They’re available in a range of opening configurations, from two doors that part to one side to four that fold back and forth on top of each other.
When you choose bifold doors, check that they have a low threshold that’s roughly flush with the floor and protects against water intrusion. Look for a robust multi-point locking system that engages steel latches at the head, sill, and jamb, and opt for keyed locks for quick access from inside. You also want a bottom track or pivot system that’s secure to the floor and aligned with the header tracks or pins.
French Doors
French doors are hinged side-by-side panels that open out or in to blur the line between indoors and outdoors. They’re available in in-swing and out-swing models and can be personalized with multiple grille styles. Choose from wood, fiberglass or aluminum frames for durability and style.
Laminated glass built directly into the frame is more secure than films or coatings applied afterward. This construction offers critical delay time to prevent forced entry and dampens outside noise and 99% of UV rays.
Energy-efficient patio doors are a great insulator, keeping your home warm during winter and cool during summer. They’re also a great way to enjoy unobstructed views of your backyard. Look for patio door handles with complex locking designs to prevent burglars from unlocking them. For additional security, opt for a reinforced frame with internal steel bars to withstand prying and bending. This can be found on most modern fiberglass, aluminum and wood patio doors. Look for a multi-point lock system that engages bolts in the head, sill and jamb to provide maximum protection.
