Designed for Maximum Flexibility
Unlike many patio door systems, every Lanai Door⢠is custom built to your exact measurements in our Southern California facility. From small openings to dramatic architectural spans, Lanai Doors deliver unmatched versatility and performance.
Our bi-folding glass door configurations include:
-
Up to 16 panels, with 8 panels folding in each direction.
-
Custom heights up to 12 feet tall and spans up to 68 feet wideâfar beyond traditional French doors or sliding doors.
-
Access panel configurations for everyday convenience.
-
Choice of aluminum, wood, or aluminum-clad wood frames.
-
Custom color finishes to match your project.
-
Glass options: Dual-glaze, tempered, insulated, Low-E, and divided lite designs.
-
Top-mounted track systems with thresholds for every need: flush, standard sill, or low-profile for wheelchair accessibility.
-
Hardware finishes: stainless steel, polished brass, or oil-rubbed bronze.
-
Available in inswing or outswing configurations.
Configurations for Any Opening
Lanai Doors can be designed in countless configurations that simply arenât possible with French doors. Depending on the size and style of your opening, we offer both straight-wall and radius systems.
-
Standard openings: Perfect for patios, entertainment rooms, or kitchens, with panel widths up to 36 inches.
-
Custom openings: Tailored for unique spaces, including oversized spans and curved walls.
-
Access panels: Include a single door for everyday entry and exit without opening the full system.
For example:
A common patio opening of 8 feet wide is typically limited to a pair of French doors that only allow about 6 feet of clear passage. With Lanai Doors, you can install a 3-panel system, each panel manufactured at 32 inches wide, giving you the full opening and an entirely new level of flexibility.
Large Spans for Light and Openness
Lanai Doors are designed to create large glass openings that maximize light and visibility. With spans up to 68 feet wide and 12 feet tall, our folding systems create the effect of a completely open wall, bringing the outdoors in and transforming the way you experience your space.
-
More natural light than traditional French doors.
-
Slim stiles and rails as narrow as 3 inches for unobstructed views.
-
Custom divided lites available for a French door look with modern performance.
These large spans allow homeowners and businesses to design with openness and beauty while maintaining structural integrity and smooth operation.
Built to Replace Traditional French Doors
While French doors are limited by their swing clearance and panel sizes, Lanai bi-folding systems can be customized to fit virtually any opening. Unlike standard French doors:
-
Lanai Doors can be built with up to 16 panels.
-
Systems are available for straight or curved walls.
-
Panels are designed to match exact dimensions rather than forcing you to adapt to fixed sizes.
Lanai Doors are the modern solution for replacing French doorsâcombining beauty, flexibility, and functionality with cutting-edge engineering.
