Door Axis 72 in x 80 in Steel Prehung French Patio Door, Blinds Between Glass, Primed White
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The Door Axis 72 in x 80 in Steel Prehung French Patio Door builds aluminum mini blinds directly into the sealed glass of both full lite steel slabs, so privacy and light control come with the door instead of bolting on afterward. It serves homeowners who want a hinged patio door onto a deck, patio, or sunroom without curtains, blind cords, or dusting.
The unit pairs two full lite slabs on one frame, with the active panel swinging into the room on the ordered side and the companion panel fixed. Each slab is steel skinned over a solid foam core, and the blinds live in the airspace between the dual panes of tempered glass, where they adjust for privacy and light without cords and never collect dust. The prehung package arrives with the slabs factory hung in a wood jamb with exterior casing, an aluminum sill, and compression weatherstripping already applied, and the active slab is double bored at a 2-3/8 in backset for a standard lockset and deadbolt. The primed white finish is ready for paint inside and out. Choose the handing from outside the opening: the panel that should swing into the room carries the hinges on the ordered side.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do the built-in blinds work?
The aluminum mini blinds sit in the sealed airspace between the dual glass panes and adjust with a cordless control. Because they are sealed inside the unit they never collect dust and there are no cords, which also makes them a safer choice around children and pets.
How do I choose Left-Hand or Right-Hand Inswing?
Stand outside facing the closed door. If the operating panel should carry its hinges on the left and swing into the room, order Left-Hand Inswing; hinges on the right, order Right-Hand Inswing.
What rough opening do I need?
Plan about 74.5 in wide by 82.5 in tall for the 72 in x 80 in unit and confirm on site at three measuring points each way. Final opening dimensions are verified during quote review.
Is hardware included?
No. The active slab is double bored at a 2-3/8 in backset, so any standard residential lockset and deadbolt install directly.
