Think of French doors as one coordinated opening

Two leaves have to meet correctly in the centre and work together with the frame. Small alignment errors that may be less noticeable on a single door can affect how a pair closes.

What to plan

  • Overall opening width and height
  • Equal or unequal door-leaf widths
  • Which leaf is normally used first
  • Internal or external location
  • Glass layout and privacy
  • Floor clearance and threshold
  • Handles, bolts and locking points
  • Frame condition and centre alignment

Internal and external pairs are different jobs

Internal French doors may focus on appearance, light and room connection. External French doors also need suitable weather sealing, thresholds and an entrance-system specification.

Measure the complete pair

Do not order by measuring one existing leaf only. The useful measurement is the complete opening and frame condition, together with how the two doors need to operate.
