Why European doors?
Like our windows, European doors use multi-point locking and high-performance Low-E glass for security, comfort, and lower energy bills – important in the Southwest heat. Unfamiliar with a term? Check the glossary.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best European patio door?
Lift-and-slide doors are ideal for large, heavy glass panels and a tight seal, while bi-folds are best when you want to open an entire wall. Both come in energy-efficient European builds.
Are European doors more secure?
Yes – multi-point locking engages at several points around the frame, making them significantly harder to force than a single-latch door.
Do European doors help with energy bills?
They do. Airtight seals and Low-E glass reduce the heat your AC and heater fight, which typically lowers energy costs.
