Installation always goes more quickly when you focus on prepping the opening right.
While french doors require far more clearance to open fully they can open the entire width of the doorframe.
First warm day of the year and i ve just realised one disadvantage of replacing my old wooden back door with a new upvc one.
When you open the door by swinging it outward onto the patioyou then kick the arm down and the rubber foot of the door stop hits the fllor surface or deck and stops the door from closing.
How do i keep the door open in the summer.
Hello just wanted to check if anyone could think of a good alternative to cabin hooks to hold my french doors against the exterior wall.
They are great for single doors or get two for french double doors.
Just open the door install the patio door stop and it keeps the door from budging even in sudden gusts of wind.
I have just had new windows and french doors fitted they open at 90 degrees.
I m wondering what my options are to keep them from blowing open and shit in the wind as i have side panels too the hooks wouldn t be an option.
The fixed door on many french doors is held closed by a pair of barrel bolts that sink into the top jamb and threshold of the doorway.
A rough opening needs to be plumb level in the same plane and about an inch wider and taller than the doors frame.
If anyone could recommend or link to s product that would be great thanks.
I ve had the doors set forward so that they fold back nearly flush with the walls and therefore not stick out into my patio space so nearly 180 degrees.
Even if these are tight enough to prevent the fixed door from.
