Milgard Sets The Standard For Vinyl Patio Doors.
We extrude our own vinyl patio door components using our custom vinyl recipe to deliver the best quality, consistency and durability. In fact, many of our vinyl patio doors actually meet light commercial ratings and meet or exceed the criteria for structural integrity and reliable performance established by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA). All are available in custom sizes and covered by our Warranty.
You’ll love our worry-free vinyl patio doors. They won’t warp, crack or peel. Nor do they absorb moisture. That means you can depend on them to slide open easily in any weather. What’s more, they are energy efficient, so they help keep your home comfortable as well.
The Complex Frame Components Required For Patio French Doors Were Once Impossible To Attain With Fiberglass
Milgard’s research and development team changed all that. We engineer fiberglass French doors (in-swing and out-swing) and French-style sliding patio door systems that are as attractive as they are weatherproof and durable. It’s a difference you’ll appreciate for a lifetime.
Milgard fiberglass patio French doors are designed to match the beauty and profile of wood patio doors, but with none of their maintenance headaches. Milgard fiberglass patio doors ward off wind, snow and rain, year after year, without peeling, swelling, expanding, contracting, cracking or warping. They’re impervious to cold, heat, insects, salt air and corrosion. Available in custom sizes and multiple panel configurations, Milgard fiberglass patio doors include our industry-leading Warranty with Glass Breakage.

Replacement Door FAQs
Replacement doors solve draft, security, and operation problems that repairs cannot fix. Entry, patio, and French door systems differ in material, glass package, and hardware, and installation quality determines how long any of them performs. Angle Construction handles measurement, removal, weather sealing, and permitting with AAMA-certified installers on every project.
Look at the frame and the glass seal, not the hardware. A door with a warped, cracked, or rotted frame; fogged glass between panes; visible daylight around the closed perimeter; or one that will not stay on track has reached the end of its service life and needs replacement rather than adjustment.
Also points to replacement, even when the frame still looks sound:
- Single pane glass is still in place and comfort or energy cost is the concern
- The door is original to the house and no longer operates smoothly
Worth knowing before you call:
- A loose handle or compressed weatherstripping on an otherwise sound frame is a minor hardware issue rather than a replacement trigger.
- Angle Construction focuses on full door replacement rather than repair-only service calls, so an assessment starts with the condition of the frame and the glass seal.
Cost is driven by size, material, glass package, and the condition of the existing opening. A standard entry door costs less than a system with sidelights and transoms, and a two panel slider costs less than a multi-slide. Dry rot, header work, and hardware upgrades also affect the number.
| Cost factor | What moves the price |
|---|---|
| Frame material | Vinyl is the value option. Fiberglass and thermally improved aluminum carry a premium. |
| Configuration | Two panel sliders cost less than four panel, pocket, or multi-slide systems. |
| Size | Standard openings cost less than made to order sizes built to a nonstandard opening. |
| Glass package | Low-E coatings, laminated glass, and tempered upgrades each add cost. |
| Opening condition | Dry rot, header work, or stucco and siding repair adds labor beyond the door itself. |
| Hardware | Multi-point locking, upgraded handle sets, and screen options are priced separately. |
| Permits | Permit requirements vary by city and county. Confirm whether permits are covered in the quoted price. |
Fiberglass suits most homes, resisting dents, rot, and warping while accepting wood grain finishes. Steel offers strong security at the lowest upfront cost but can dent and corrode in coastal air. Wood delivers the best appearance and demands the most maintenance. Coastal exposure usually decides it.
| Material | Best for | Trade-off | Upkeep |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fiberglass | Most homes, coastal exposure, energy performance, wood grain looks without wood upkeep | Higher upfront cost than steel | Low |
| Steel | Security and budget-conscious entry replacement | Dents are hard to repair and coastal air can cause corrosion | Moderate, touch-ups needed |
| Wood | Historic and architectural homes, custom millwork, stain-grade finishes | Swelling, warping, and refinishing in wet or sun exposed locations | High |
| Vinyl and aluminum-clad | Patio, multi-slide, and large glass systems rather than entry doors | Not a typical entry door material | Low |
Plan for a measurement and quote first, then manufacturing, then a one-day installation for most single door replacements. Custom sizes and configurations are made to order, so the manufacturing window is the longest step. Installation itself commonly runs several hours per opening, including removal, setting, shimming, and weather sealing.
- In-home measurement of the existing opening, including square, level, and header condition.
- Product selection: material, series, configuration, glass package, and hardware.
- Order and manufacture. Made-to-order sizes take longer than stocked configurations.
- Removal of the old door and inspection of the opening for dry rot or water damage.
- Setting, shimming, and squaring the new unit in the opening.
- Flashing, sealing, and insulating the perimeter, then interior and exterior trim.
- Operation check, lock adjustment, cleanup, and walkthrough.
No. Security depends on the locking hardware and installation, not the door style. Modern sliding doors use multi-point latches, reinforced interlocks, and laminated glass options. A poorly installed French door with a single deadbolt is the weaker choice. Ask which locking system is included before comparing quotes.
What actually determines door security:
- The locking system. Multi-point locks engage the frame at several points instead of one.
- Glass type. Laminated glass holds together when struck, unlike standard tempered glass.
- Installation. A door that is not anchored into solid framing can be forced regardless of its lock rating.
- Whether the door was installed square, since a racked frame stops the lock from fully engaging.
