DISTINGUISHING GREAT PATIO DOORS FROM NOT-SO-GREAT ONES

Patio doors often don’t get the attention they deserve. As exterior units, they help tick the right boxes to make your space as livable as possible. If you choose the wrong products, your home would underperform in certain areas.

Distinguishing Great Patio Doors From Not So Great Ones

To choose great patio doors over not-so-great ones, make sure your replacement units do the following.

Help Burglarproof Your Home

All exterior doors come with at least a simple lock, but many of them aren’t that reliable when it comes to intruder deterrence. Experienced burglars can pick the single deadbolts in hinged units and simple latches in sliding ones nine times out of ten. To increase your defense against break-ins, invest in an advanced locking system and take advantage of every measure of security available at your disposal.

At Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis, our swinging French doors are equipped with a 5-point locking mechanism that secures both panels when activated. On the other h and, our sliding units have a unique Andersen reach-out lock that pulls the operating panel to the jamb tightly. It also comes with an optional auxiliary foot lock, which fastens the active door to the threshold. An exterior keyed lock is available in all of our patio units.

Provide a Wide Entry

Gone are the days that glazed doors only provide a means of access in and out of your home. They’re now used to visually connect your interior to your outdoor spaces and the surrounding l andscapes. With multiple opening options to choose from, we offer you plenty of ways to maximize your wall aperture.

Make Maintenance a Picnic

In the 21st century, patio door maintenance should no longer that big of a concern. The best units have a sturdy core covered with a waterproof and fade-resistant skin. We protect our doors by either a urethane base finish or a rigid vinyl sheath to make cleaning a breeze and eliminate periodic painting.

Contribute to Curb Appeal

No matter where you install your hinged or sliding patio doors, make sure they enhance the overall look of your home inside and out. Apart from choosing the right color, put a premium on the hardware style because God is in the detail.

At Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis, we offer a broad range of customization options to let you design your patio doors your way. We use our high-performance glass on them too to prevent unwanted heat gain and help keep your desired indoor climate.

"I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of window installation with Anderson Windows. I really appreciate the great financing options that they offer! They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows. I definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis."

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"I replaced my front door and several windows. The install team did a great job with installation and clean up. Even covered floors and stairs. The team was very courteous and did a very professional job. Now our windows look great and we love our new door. I would recommend Renewal by Anderson in a heartbeat."
