Custom French Door Types
French doors are one of the most architecturally versatile door types — the same double-leaf hinged format serves dramatically different functional and aesthetic roles depending on the frame material, glass specification, and opening location. Select the system that matches your project.

Produkteigenschaften
French door performance depends on three things: the precision of the double-leaf alignment, the integrity of the weather sealing at all four perimeter edges and the meeting stile, and the durability of the hinge and lock hardware under daily operation cycles. Every Hotian French door is engineered and tested against these three criteria before it leaves the factory.
Why Source Your Custom French Doors from Hotian?
French doors require precise engineering at the hinge point, the meeting stile, and the perimeter seal to operate correctly and maintain weather performance over time. Hotian’s made-to-order production model means every French door system is fabricated to your specified dimensions and engineered for the specific application — interior or exterior, residential or commercial.
All Three Materials from One Factory
Aluminum, uPVC/vinyl, and steel French doors are all manufactured within Hotian’s single 135,000 sq ft facility. For development and fit-out projects specifying different French door materials across different zones of the building — thermally broken aluminum at exterior patio openings and slim steel frames for interior glass partitions — a single coordinated order covers all material types in one production run and one delivery.
Interior vs Exterior Engineering
Interior and exterior French doors require fundamentally different engineering. Exterior French doors need thermally broken frames, multi-point weatherstripping, robust threshold seals, and insulated glass units rated for the local climate. Interior French doors need flush or near-flush thresholds for seamless flooring transitions, lighter frame profiles, and glass specifications suited to privacy and light diffusion requirements. Hotian engineers each order to the correct specification for its application — not a single compromise specification applied to all.
No Standard Size Constraints
Standard French door catalogues offer widths from 60 inches to 72 inches and heights to 80 inches. Custom architectural French doors for high-ceiling interiors, oversized residential entries, and hotel lobbies regularly fall outside these ranges. Hotian manufactures French doors in any width and height combination — single leaf panels from 24 inches wide, double configurations from 48 inches to fully custom widths, and custom heights up to 10ft (3,000mm) across all three frame materials.
Glass Panel Configuration to Specification
The grid pattern, lite count, and glass specification of a French door define its character as much as the frame profile. Hotian’s glass options for French doors include clear tempered IGU, low-E coated double glazing, triple glazing for cold climates, frosted and fluted/reeded privacy glass for bathrooms and offices, tinted solar control glass for high-solar-gain facades, and decorative divided lite grids from 1-lite to 12-lite configurations. Each glass specification is applied to the exact custom panel dimensions of the order.
Double-Leaf Alignment and Hardware Precision
The meeting stile of a double French door must be precisely aligned for smooth dual operation and correct seal engagement. Hotian’s CNC machining ensures meeting stile faces are cut to the same reference datum across both leaves, resulting in flush alignment when closed. Hardware — hinges, flush bolts, multi-point locks, and door handles — is installed and tested for correct operation before shipping. Pre-hung system supply is available for both single and double-leaf French door configurations.
Replacement and Retrofit Supply
Many French door replacement projects involve opening dimensions that were specified decades ago and do not correspond to any current standard catalogue size. Hotian manufactures French doors to any confirmed rough opening dimensions — providing a pre-hung replacement unit that installs directly into the existing framing without structural modification to the opening. This is particularly valuable for renovation contractors working with legacy residential openings in markets where standard French door sizes have changed over time.
Präzisionsfertigung in jeder Phase
Every Hotian custom French door is produced through a controlled manufacturing sequence — from frame material selection and engineering review through profile fabrication, glass cutting, hinge routing, hardware fitting, finishing, and final double-leaf alignment QC inspection — ensuring every door system operates correctly and measures to specification before it leaves the factory.










Custom French Door Solutions for Every Project Type
Für luxury residential projects and custom home builders, French doors are often the centrepiece architectural detail of the living space. An oversized aluminum French door opening from the living room to a pool terrace, a bespoke steel-and-glass double entry to the master suite corridor, or a fluted-glass interior French door set between the kitchen and dining room — these are not catalogue selections. Hotian's engineering team works from your architectural elevations and specified dimensions to produce French doors that deliver the scale, material, and glass detailing the design calls for. Full shop drawings are provided before production for architect and designer sign-off.
Für residential developers and multi-family builders, French doors appear most frequently at balcony and patio openings where an outward-swinging or inward-swinging double-leaf provides a wider clear aperture than a single door without the track depth of a sliding system. Thermally broken aluminum French doors for balcony access are a standard specification item for mid-range and premium apartment developments. Hotian supplies these in custom dimensions matched to the balcony opening dimensions confirmed in the architectural drawings, with consistent powder-coat finishes across the full project quantity.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
Every custom French door order at Hotian begins with a direct conversation — not a catalogue. Whether you are a contractor working from architectural drawings, a developer specifying doors across multiple units, or a homeowner replacing a single non-standard patio entry, our team is ready to review your dimensions, recommend the right frame material and glass specification, and provide a factory-direct quote within 24 hours. Reach out and tell us what you need.
What is the difference between aluminum, uPVC, and steel French doors?
Aluminum French doors offer the best combination of slim sightlines, structural rigidity, and thermal performance for exterior applications. Thermally broken aluminum is recommended for exterior patio and balcony openings in all climates. uPVC/vinyl French doors provide fully sealed, corrosion-proof frames ideal for coastal and high-humidity environments where metal frames require marine-grade treatment. Steel French doors deliver the slimmest profiles with maximum glass area — making them the preferred choice for interior glass partitions and room dividers where the industrial Crittall aesthetic is desired.
Can you manufacture custom size French doors for non-standard openings?
Yes. All French doors at Hotian are manufactured to your exact rough opening dimensions. Single leaf widths from 24 inches, double configurations from 48 inches through fully custom widths, and panel heights up to 10ft (3,000mm) are within standard production capability across all three frame materials. Non-standard renovation opening dimensions are accommodated without size surcharge.
What is the MOQ for custom French doors?
MOQ is 1 piece. This applies to all configurations and frame materials — single aluminum exterior patio doors, bespoke steel interior glass partitions, and uPVC replacement double doors are all available as single-unit orders.
Are your exterior aluminum French doors thermally broken?
Yes. All exterior aluminum French door profiles at Hotian are manufactured with a polyamide thermal break as standard. This reduces thermal bridging at the frame, prevents condensation on interior surfaces in cold conditions, and improves the overall energy efficiency of the door assembly.
What glass options are available for custom French doors?
Standard is double-glazed tempered IGU. Optional specifications include: low-E coating for improved thermal performance, argon gas fill, acoustic PVB laminated inner pane, triple glazing for cold climates, tinted solar control glass, frosted glass for bathroom privacy, and fluted/reeded decorative glass for contemporary interior partitions. Divided lite grid patterns from 1-lite to 12-lite are available in all frame materials.
Can French doors be supplied pre-hung?
Yes. Custom French doors are available as complete pre-hung systems with frame, hinges, and hardware pre-installed and operationally tested before shipping. Pre-hung supply is recommended for both single and double-leaf configurations as it ensures double-leaf alignment and weather seal performance are confirmed before the door leaves the factory.
What is the difference between your steel exterior French doors and interior steel French doors?
Exterior steel French doors are manufactured with thermally broken profiles and treated with zinc-rich primer and protective coatings for exterior weather resistance. Interior steel French doors use non-thermal-break ultra-slim carbon steel profiles — producing much narrower sightlines and a larger glass-to-frame ratio suited to interior partition aesthetics. Interior steel doors also use flush or no-threshold designs for seamless flooring transitions, rather than the sealed threshold required on exterior systems.
Can you supply French doors for a full development project with multiple opening sizes?
Yes. Hotian regularly supplies French door packages for residential developments and hotel fit-outs covering multiple opening dimensions across aluminum exterior patio doors, steel interior glass partitions, and uPVC replacement units — all in a single coordinated order. Project pricing, shop drawing documentation, and phased delivery scheduling are available for full-project door schedules.
What locking systems come with custom French doors?
Active leaves are fitted with multi-point locking hardware engaging the frame at top, mid-rail, and bottom positions. Inactive leaves are secured by top and bottom shoot bolts. Additional hook bolt lock points, key-operated cylinder locks, and access control-compatible electric strike options are available for security-critical applications.
How long does it take to manufacture custom French doors?
Standard custom French door orders are completed within 20–25 working days from dimension confirmation and deposit receipt. Steel interior French doors with hand-welded frames may require up to 30 working days for complex custom configurations. Project lead times for bulk development orders are confirmed at order stage.
