If you’re looking for a patio door that blends timeless style with everyday function, a hinged patio door — often called a “French door” — could be the perfect fit.
A common French door configuration is two operable panels hinged on the outer edges, allowing you to open one or both. Another option is the center-hinged patio door, with one stationary panel and one active panel, maximizing floor space while maintaining a traditional look. Hinged patio doors are available in combinations of one to four panels.
Hinged doors can be configured to open inward or outward. An outswing door preserves interior floor space; an inswing door works where the door opens onto a walkway or porch seating. Our Andersen® hinged patio doors come in contemporary styling (A-Series) with narrower rails and more glass, as well as traditional styling with wider rails (A-Series and 400 Series).
