French Door Installation in Libertyville, IL
Rooster Windows and Doors installs French doors that open your home to the deck, patio or garden and close tight against Chicagoland winters, across Lake County and the surrounding suburbs.
Classic French Doors, Installed by Our Own Crew
French doors swing open wide, so the whole doorway becomes your entrance to the deck or patio. They bring in light, add character and make a back room feel bigger.
Peter and Sebastian have been installing doors for more than two decades, and our own crews handle every French door from the first measurement to the final adjustment.
French Doors or Sliding Patio Doors?
Both open your home to the outdoors, but they work differently. Sliding doors save space because nothing swings into the room. French doors need room to swing, but they open the full width of the doorway and give you a traditional look that suits colonial, Tudor and brick homes.
During your estimate we look at the room, the furniture layout and the deck or steps outside, then recommend the style that fits.
Benefits of French Doors
French doors combine charm with everyday function. Here is what they bring to your home.
Timeless Style
Grilles, arched transoms and classic hardware suit traditional homes and add character to modern ones.
Energy-Efficient Glass
Insulated Low-E glass and tight weatherstripping help keep winter drafts and summer heat out.
Secure Locking
Multi-point locks fasten the doors at several points along the frame for extra security.
Professional French Door Installation
French doors only work well when both doors hang perfectly and meet in the middle. If the frame is even slightly out of square, the doors rub, gaps let in drafts and the lock will not latch.
Our installers make sure the opening is level and sound, set the frame with care and adjust both doors until they open, close and lock smoothly.
- Measuring and Planning: We measure the opening, check the swing clearance inside and out, and help you choose the door, glass and hardware.
- Removing the Old Door: We take out the old door or window, inspect the framing and make sure the opening is clean, level and sound.
- Installation and Weatherproofing: The new door is shimmed, fastened, sealed and insulated, with extra care at the threshold and where the two doors meet.
- Adjustment and Walkthrough: We fine-tune the hinges and locks, clean up and haul away debris, then show you how everything works.
