French Door Installation

What This Service Involves

French doors bring timeless style whether they open to a patio, a study, or a formal room. We install exterior and interior French units with careful attention to the astragal, weatherstripping, and hardware that keep a pair of doors sealing and latching as one. For outdoor openings, we add insulated glass and full flashing to stand up to Western Washington's damp weather. The finished doors swing in perfect balance and become a striking focal point.

Benefits

Classic, high-end look that elevates any room; Wide, welcoming opening for entertaining and airflow; Insulated glass and weather seals on exterior installs; Balanced, dual-door operation with secure latching

Our Process

1) Verify the opening is wide and square enough for a double door; 2) Frame or adjust the opening and add flashing on exterior units; 3) Hang both leaves, aligning the astragal and reveals precisely; 4) Install multi-point or flush-bolt hardware and fine-tune the seal

What Affects the Cost

Interior versus exterior and glass specification; Opening width and any required structural work; Wood, fiberglass, or clad frame material; Hardware, including multi-point locks and handlesets; Finishing and glass grille patterns

Best Time of Year

Exterior French doors are best set during drier months, while interior pairs can be installed comfortably anytime.
