Sliding, French or Hinged Patio Door?
- Sliding patio doors need no swing space and offer the widest glass for views.
- French doors open the full width for moving furniture and gatherings and give a traditional look.
- Single hinged patio doors with a fixed glass panel suit narrower openings.
We look at furniture layout, porch depth and how you move between inside and out before recommending one.
Entry Doors That Handle Weather and Wear
Fiberglass doors stand up to humidity and kids, pets and deliveries without denting or swelling. Steel doors are tough and budget-friendly. Adding a storm door protects either type from direct rain and lets you ventilate on mild days. Hardware choices include keyless and smart-lock-ready deadbolts.
Thresholds, Sills and Drainage
Patio doors often open onto a porch or slab that is barely below the floor, which invites water in during heavy rain. We set a sill pan beneath the door, seal the threshold, and check that the outside surface slopes away. Where the porch is too high, we discuss options such as a different threshold profile. These steps matter more than the door brand when it comes to keeping floors dry.
Expert Installation From Start to Finish
Every door we install is set level and square, insulated, flashed, trimmed and tested with you before we leave. Old doors are hauled away. If your project is part of a bigger backyard plan, see our Sharon outdoor living services, or read about window and door repair in Sharon.
Common Questions
Why choose Tekton Exteriors for patio and entry doors?
We are licensed and insured, we install our own work, and we put the full scope, product and warranty information in writing before starting.
How long does installation take?
Most single patio or entry door replacements are finished in one day. Multiple doors or framing repairs can extend that to two.
Which patio door is best for a small space?
A sliding door is usually best, since it needs no room to swing. A single hinged door with a fixed side panel is another good choice.
How do storm doors add protection?
They keep rain and sun off the main door, reduce drafts and give an extra locked barrier when the main door is open.
