French & Hinged Patio Doors

Classic elegance, wide double opening.

A pair of French doors opening onto a covered porch or backyard is one of the most requested upgrades we see across Houston's older neighborhoods — from the Heights to Bellaire to West University. The proportions feel timeless, the light they admit is generous, and the quality of a properly hung, properly weatherstripped hinged door is noticeable every single day. Our crews hang every pair plumb and true, adjust the multi-point hardware at installation, and come back if anything ever shifts.

Why this door

The case for french / hinged.

French and hinged patio doors share the same configuration principle: one or two panels hinged to the frame, swinging inward or outward to create a full, unobstructed pass-through. French doors have divided-lite grilles for a traditional look; hinged patio doors use uninterrupted glass for a cleaner, more contemporary feel. We configure them together because the hardware, rough-opening, and installation process are identical.

Best For

Traditional & craftsman homes
Covered porches & back entries
Living & dining rooms
Where a full-width opening matters

01
Full-width opening
Both panels swing open simultaneously to create a passage as wide as the entire door unit — ideal for moving furniture or hosting gatherings that flow indoors and out.
02
Traditional or contemporary
Choose divided-lite colonial grilles for a classic French door look, or clean uninterrupted glass for a modern hinged patio door — same frame, same hardware, very different character.
03
Solid, reassuring operation
A hinged door compresses against its frame on closing, delivering one of the tightest air and water seals of any operable door style.
04
Sidelite options
Add fixed or operable sidelites on either side to widen the light band without changing the rough opening — a dramatic upgrade for narrow walls.

Performance & Durability

Engineered for Gulf Coast conditions.

Multi-point locking hardware engages at three or more points along the frame for both security and weathertight compression.
Adjustable hinges let our crew dial in the exact closing pressure at installation and re-tune years later without new hardware.
Thermally broken frames and Low-E glass packages meet or exceed ENERGY STAR requirements for Houston's hot-humid climate zone.

Colors & Options

Specified for your home, not a showroom.

Every french / hinged door we install comes in five exterior colors — White, Almond, Clay, Bronze, and Black — with matching interior finishes and grille configurations where the glass allows. We bring full material samples to your home so you can see the color against your actual siding and trim before you commit to anything.
