All patio doors are not created equal. The closer you look at a Milgard fiberglass patio door, the easier it is to understand why we can guarantee each one to last a lifetime. All Milgard fiberglass doors feature a paten-pending Corner-Key system that locks stiles to rails for maximum strength and stability. Door panels are screwed and bonded with acrylic sealant for weather-tight performance, and perimeter frames boast gasket-sealed joints, stainless steel screws and acrylic sealant. Best of all, every Milgard patio door is custom built down to 1/8" increments – so it's guaranteed to fit your home, as well as offer the ultimate in beauty and performance.
