Swinging

The front door, done right.

Single and double entry doors in fiberglass, wood, and steel. Inswing or outswing, with sidelites, transoms, segment and radius tops. This is most of what we build, prehung with the hinges set and the bore done, or as slabs and components when the job calls for it.

Bifolding

Open the whole wall.

Folding glass door systems that stack to one side and turn a wall into an opening. The Neuma folding series runs up to wide multi-panel layouts for porches, outdoor kitchens, and living rooms that want to be one space with the deck.

Folding kits and pivot

Two more ways to fill a wide opening.

Folding, Endura MiraVista

A folding wall out of standard door panels.

MiraVista is a kit of components, not a proprietary door. It turns standard 1-3/4 in. fiberglass panels into a folding system, so the panels come from the same lines we already prehang.

  • Bottom gliding track carries the panel weight, so it needs no more top support than a sliding door. That makes it work for remodels and retrofits as well as new construction.
  • No routing or modification of the panels.
  • Knuckles adjust up, down, and side to side, so an out-of-square rough opening can still be set plumb.
  • Up to three 3/0 panels, 115 in. maximum sill length, 6/8 or 8/0 height, with 5-5/8 in. or 7-5/8 in. sill widths.
  • Track, casing, and hinge bars in white or black; sill caps in walnut or black; sill decks in mill or bronze.
  • Up to DP75 structural and DP20 water on a three-panel system with Masonite VistaGrande panels, tested to ASTM standards.

Pivot

One oversized slab, no visible hinges.

A pivot door turns on a hardware set at the head and the floor, not side hinges, which lets a single slab run wide and tall without sagging. It is the entry people notice.

  • The pivot set carries the slab, so the jamb is not doing the work. Slab thickness and weight drive the hardware choice.
  • The floor point has to be located and blocked before finish flooring goes in, the same discipline a barn door track needs.
  • Handing works differently: tell us which way it swings and where the pivot sits off the jamb, not just left or right.

Barn & specialty

When the opening is not standard.

Barn doors on exposed hardware, pocket doors, bypass doors, and interior bifolds. If the opening is odd, historic, or just not in anyone's catalog, our shop mills it to your drawing.

FAQ

What dealers ask us.

Most configurations can. Screen options depend on the layout and stacking direction, so decide it up front and your rep will confirm what the configuration allows.

A bifolding door is a factory-built glass system. MiraVista is a kit that converts standard 1-3/4 in. fiberglass panels into a folding unit, and because the bottom track carries the weight it suits a retrofit where a full system would not.

No. Barn hardware does not seal against weather. For an exterior opening that needs to slide, use a sliding patio door.

Yes. They ship as factory-assembled systems, and swinging units leave our shop prehung with hinges set and the bore done.
