Northgate
Hinged Patio Doors for Northgate homes
Northgate covers a stretch of Colerain Township with a wide range of houses, from mid-century ranches to newer builds off the mall corridor. The patio door is often the piece that dates the house, and a French-style hinged door is a clear upgrade in both look and function. It swings open on hinges rather than a track, so a double opens the back of the house wide to the yard, and the traditional grids give a plain elevation some detail it was missing.
Our hinged patio doors solve the wear and the drafts at once. They swing on heavy-duty ball-bearing hinges, and the door compresses against the frame when latched for a seal tighter than a slider ever manages. Double-pane Low-E argon glass keeps the back room comfortable, and a multi-point lock with a deadbolt pulls the whole edge tight against weather and wind. Single or double, in-swing or out-swing, with custom color, hardware, and grids. We build every door to the opening, and our own crews install it.
Premium Hinged Doors
Classic Style, Modern Performance
Hinged patio doors — sometimes called French patio doors — swing open on traditional hinges rather than sliding along a track. They offer a wider clear opening, a more traditional aesthetic, and a tight, weather-resistant seal because the door compresses against the frame instead of riding past it.
Want the bigger picture? Pair it with replacement windows or a new entry door, and ask about rolling it into one 0%-for-24-months project. For efficiency ratings, the Energy Star program is a good reference.

Common questions
Hinged Patio Doors FAQs
My Northgate back door drafts along the floor. Would a hinged door seal better?
It should. A hinged patio door latches with a multi-point lock that pulls the door in and compresses it against the frame all the way around, which seals far better than a slider's single edge. Add fresh weatherstrip and double-pane Low-E argon glass and the draft along the floor stops. We measure your opening and lay out single or double options that fit.
How are hinged patio doors different from French doors?
French doors are a type of hinged patio door with divided-light glass and a symmetrical double-door look. “Hinged patio” also covers single doors and simpler glass — same swinging operation, more configurations.
Do hinged patio doors seal well?
Yes — because the door compresses against the weatherstrip when latched, a quality hinged door seals very tightly, often tighter than a slider, which is great for energy efficiency.
Can they swing outward?
They can be built to swing in or out depending on your space and preference. We’ll recommend what works best for your layout at the free consultation.
What warranty comes with your hinged patio doors?
A Limited Lifetime Transferable Warranty covers the door, and our own factory-trained crews back the installation.
