Montreal garden door installation — hinged, sealed patio doors

A garden door is a pair of hinged doors — one panel swings out for patio access, the other stays fixed beside it. You get the tight weather seal of a swing door and less clearance than French doors, plus screen options for summer airflow.

Every opening measured on-site

Full air-seal on every unit

Written frame + sealed-glass warranty

The garden door that saves swing space

A garden door is the practical middle ground between a slider and a full set of French doors: a hinged panel swings out for patio access while a second panel stays fixed beside it. You get the look and weathertight seal of a swing door without the clearance two swinging panels need.

For a lot of Montreal homes that is the sweet spot — a proper swinging door and a tight seal, with screen options for summer, giving up only the swing space of one panel. Compare it against a patio door or sliding glass door at the measure.

It suits openings where French doors would crowd the room. See all our door services to weigh your options.

A garden door sealed and hung level

We install garden doors level and plumb with efficient Low-E glass and full perimeter sealing for Montreal winters, then adjust the hinges and multi-point lock so the swinging panel closes tight against the fixed panel and latches cleanly.

Because the fixed panel is sealed permanently, a garden door has one less moving joint to leak. The written quote covers the door, the glass and the install. Pair it with an entry door, add fresh weatherstripping elsewhere, or book a free estimate and see all door options.

What a garden door is, space needed and efficiency.

What is a garden door?

A garden door is a hinged patio door with one panel that swings open and one panel that is fixed in place beside it — essentially half of a French-door pair. It gives you the appearance and tight seal of a swing door and real patio access, but it only needs the swing clearance of a single panel, which makes it a space-saving alternative to full French doors. The fixed panel also means one less operating joint to seal, so it tends to be efficient. It is a popular choice where French doors would be too big for the space.

Garden door or sliding door?

Garden doors seal and look like a swing door and need less space than French doors, since only one panel swings; sliding doors need no swing space at all and give you the most glass. So it comes down to how much room you have and the look you want: a garden door if you want the swing-door feel without the full French-door footprint, a slider if space is tight or you want maximum view. We help you compare them against your opening, your deck and your budget at the measure.

Are garden doors efficient?

Yes — with an insulated frame and efficient Low-E glass, a garden door performs well in our climate. It has a built-in advantage, too: because one of its two panels is fixed and permanently sealed, there is one less operating joint for cold air to sneak through compared with a pair of French doors or a two-panel slider. We set it level and plumb so the swinging panel closes tight, seal and insulate the frame to the wall, and spec the glass for Montreal winters, so you get patio access that stays warm and draft-free.

Which side can the operating panel be on?

Either side — we set the active (swinging) panel and the fixed panel to suit your room layout and where you want the door to open.

Is a garden door more efficient than a slider?

Often, yes — the fixed panel is permanently sealed, so there is one less operating joint for air to leak through than a two-panel slider.

Garden door was the perfect middle ground — swing-door look without needing the space for two panels. Seals beautifully.

One operating panel, one fixed, and it is tight and efficient. Great fit for our smaller opening.

A. Grewal

Homeowner, Laval

Loved that we got the swing-door feel and a screen for summer without the full French-door footprint.

Solid, sealed and practical. They set it level and it closes tight against the frame.
