Where to buyFull specification
- 3/4 glazed, solid fiberglass below, the part built to take contact is the part doing the work.
- Ball-bearing hinges carry the full swing, the panel keeps closing flush, year after year.
- Double-bored for the hardware you choose, no handle fitted, nothing to drill.
Where does a hinged patio door take its wear?
Not at eye level. In the lower third.
The kicked ball, the dragged chair, the dog leaning its weight to get out first, and the panel carrying itself through the full arc of the swing.
The 3/4 Lite Hinged door glazes the upper three-quarters of each panel and backs the lower quarter with solid fiberglass, so the part built to take contact is the part doing the work. Ball-bearing hinges carry the swing, and a compression seal closes the same way at the thousandth use as at the first.
Hinged to swing wide
Glass where you want the view, fiberglass where the door gets hit.
Two hundred fifty pounds a panel, on hinges built for the arc, not just the latch.

01 · The hinges
Ball-bearing hinges carrying the full swing
Two hundred fifty pounds a panel, on hinges built for the arc, not just the latch.
A standard hinge wears at the pin under repeated load. A ball-bearing hinge carries that load on bearings rather than bare metal, so the panel keeps closing flush to the frame instead of sagging at the latch side as the years pass.
Both panels use them, on every configuration in this line.
02 · The seal & the hardware
A seal that closes the same way every time
Weatherstripping that brushes past a frame wears thin. This one is squeezed.
Compression weatherstripping closes against the frame under pressure rather than sliding past it, pressing tighter with use. Behind it, a polyurethane foam core; around it, a full composite frame that holds its shape through a humid summer and a hard freeze.
No handle arrives fitted, each panel is double bored at the factory, so the hardware you choose fits without further drilling.
The same geometry, three readings
Choose the glass, not the door
Every style holds the 3/4-lite rule and the same tempered, Low-E glass. Pick the one that suits the room.
Grilles between the glass
A visible grid sealed inside the unit, with no bar to clean.
Simulated divided light
Surface-mounted bars for a deeper, more traditional profile.
Clear glass
No pattern, the upper three-quarters reads as one clean pane.
