You'll appreciate every elegant detail of the Premier door, from the locking mechanisms to the options of handles, grids and Regal v-grooved glass designs.

If you love the traditional look of multi-pane lites, but hate the work traditionally involved in cleaning them, you're in luck! Our Premier sliding entrance door offers a variety of glass styles with integral grids mounted between two panes of insulating glass for easy cleaning.

Security ... Feel the power of added protection
The Premier Sliding Door design focuses on protection and peace of mind. Our multi-point locking system offers three times more resistance to forced entry than the typical single point lock system. The three-point locking system engages at critical points along the jamb when the door is closed and pulls the panel tight to the jamb for an air-tight seal. Plus, you'll have the peace of mind that comes with knowing your door is backed by our Lifetime Limited Warranty. So comprehensive it's even transferable to a second property owner.
Multi-point locking system provides greater protection against forced entry.
Forward-thinking features...
add to the security of this design. The wide stiles and rails not only provide a robust appearance, but also increase the strength and durability of the door system.
Our optional, convenient and easy to activate security floor lock provides extra security when the door is closed, it has the ability to allow fresh air in while maintaining peace of mind.
For the ultimate in protection, specify our optional laminated safety glass. The strength and resilience of laminated glass makes it an excellent material for protection against storms, intruders, ultraviolet rays, and noise. The remarkable strength of the protective interlayer in laminated glass resists damage from severe storms and forced entry.
Laminated glass blocks 99% of the sun's UV rays. These rays can damage your home's interior furnishings.
Also, it is highly effective in blocking the transmission of unwanted sounds like traffic and outside activities. Enjoy the peace of mind and the quiet inside.
Distinctive Style ...Surprisingly practical
Premier sliding doors provide a design statement with wide French Style stiles and rails. Finely crafted details including coved shapes on the door panels and frame create an elegant entrance enhanced by grids between the glass, wood grin interiors and designer finish handles.
If solar control is on your mind then try our cooling tint colors. They reduce the blinding visible light from the sun during sunrise or sunset. And reduce the sun's extreme heat as you are beginning or winding down each day. If you desire the ultimate in solar control then you will fall in love with our new Solar Blind and Pleated Shade options. Our Solar Blinds are available in Gray, White, Gold, Alabaster or Tan colors. Our Solar Shades interior color options are Taupe, Almond, Charcoal, Gray and Fawn. The exterior of the shade is reflective silver for optimum performance.
