Door Axis 72 in x 80 in White Reversible Vinyl Sliding Patio Door, Low-E Insulated Glass
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The Door Axis 72 in x 80 in White Reversible Vinyl Sliding Patio Door is a complete two panel gliding unit with an insulated Low-E glass lite in each panel and a field reversible active panel. It serves homeowners and remodelers who want a maintenance free white patio door that installs in new construction or as a replacement and locks with a keyed exterior cylinder.
The frame and panels are extruded vinyl, so the unit never needs paint and shrugs off the peeling, rot, and corrosion that wood and steel patio doors develop. One panel is fixed and the other glides on ball bearing rollers along an integral track, and the operating panel is universal reversible: the same unit converts to a left or right slide on site by reversing the mortise lock during installation. The dual point mortise lock, interior handle set, and exterior keyed lock come installed, full perimeter weatherstripping seals the frame and interlock, and the unit carries a DP35 design pressure rating. Two glass packages are offered: standard insulated Low-E, or an argon filled soft coat Low-E package that improves the U-factor from 0.29 to 0.23 for colder climates.

Installation Notes
- Verify the rough opening at 72.125 in x 80.5 in, checked at three points for width and height, before ordering.
- Install a sill pan and integrate flashing with the water resistive barrier; the track must bear on a continuous, level sill.
- Set the frame plumb, level, and square, shim at lock and interlock points, and fasten through the frame without bowing the jambs.
- To reverse the slide direction, remove the mortise lock, rotate the mechanism, and reinstall per the included instructions, then confirm the keyed exterior lock engages.
- Adjust the rollers after the frame is set so the operating panel glides evenly and latches without lifting.
Warranty and Support

- Quote review includes a rough opening check and slide direction confirmation before release.
Frequently Asked Questions
What rough opening does this door need?
72.125 in wide by 80.5 in tall for the 72 in x 80 in unit. Measure width and height at three points and use the smallest figures; additional sizes are quoted on request.
How does the reversible handing work?
The unit ships as one assembly and the operating panel can slide from either side. During installation the mortise lock mechanism is removed, rotated, and reinstalled to match the chosen direction, so one door covers both layouts.
Which glass package should I choose?
Standard insulated Low-E glass carries a 0.29 U-factor. The argon filled soft coat package improves that to 0.23 with a lower solar heat gain of 0.28, which pays off in heating dominated climates and west facing exposures.
Is an insect screen included?
No. A matching aluminum sliding patio screen door sized for this track family is offered separately under the Door Axis screen door line.
