Top-hung, Sleek Look
Lanai's hurricane-certified systems are manufactured in the United States using the best component parts available. One critical part is the Centor E3 top-hung folding hardware. Unlike bottom roller systems that bind or clog with debris, Lanai's hurricane top-hung system will open and close with ease. Centor E3 hardware is so robust that the Lanai Doors™ hurricane systems only needs three hinges between each panel. The lack of multiple hinges complements Lanai's sleek clean look of their 1-3/4 inch thick panels which are made with 3-inch wide stiles and 3-5/8 inch top and bottom rails.

They can be used wherever you'd like to add additional space or wherever you'd like to create a feeling of openness with your own wall of windows.

Lanai Doors, are considered to be a bifold sliding French door system, which provides a movable "wall of glass" between rooms! What a wonderful way to open up a floorplan -- adding light and incredible ambiance to your space. Our interior sliding French Door units are available in a variety of materials including aluminum, wood and aluminum-wood clad.

When closed, Lanai Doors provide a beautiful separation of living spaces providing sound abatement and insulation. The space can then be opened entirely for entertaining or other practical uses. If you prefer a more traditional look but want the functionality of our Lanai doors, they can be made to look like a traditional French door system.

Because sliding glass doors and French doors limit your usable space, you may be actually diminishing the dimensions of your residential or commercial space by installing old-fashioned French doors. That's why we created Lanai Doors, which unlike French doors, help you get the most out of your space. With a Lanai Door, you are able to use the entire opening and benefit from the infusion of air and light suddenly introduced into your space. Lanai Doors, unlike French doors, truly bring the outdoors in.

There are numerous configurations of Lanai Doors available and we have a design to fit any requirement you may have. The most common configuration provides a combination of panels that make your space practical and beautiful. While the one "active" panel can be used for easy everyday in and out access, the other panels are locked in place and secure - yet still allowing the light and air to come in. Depending on the configuration you choose, you can even have two panels that act as French Doors for day-to-day use.

Lanai Doors are featured in homes and businesses across the United States and surrounding islands. Because of our weather tight seal system our systems have been installed in both cold weather applications, such as Colorado, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and also warn weather applications, California, Florida, Bahamas, Hawaii, and Nevada to name a few. Our airtight, weatherproof doors can withstand the harshest of winters or the warmest of climates.

Unlike many French doors, our Lanai doors are custom built to the exact measurements you require in our modern Southern California plant:

Flexible Lanai Door systems can be constructed in countless different configurations, which are not available for French doors. Depending on the width of your opening, we offer several options to choose from for both standard systems and also radius systems. To replace your traditional French doors with Lanai Doors, you will most likely need a three (3) panel system. The maximum standard panel width is 36 inches. However, unlike many French doors, the panels are designed to match your exact dimensions. For example, a very common patio door width is eight (8) feet. This allows for a three (3) panel Lanai Door with panels manufactured at 32 inches each.

Unlike French doors, with Lanai Doors, you have the option of three different types of thresholds to complete the look you are trying to achieve. When the door closes, the threshold creates a weather-tight seal.

Our Standard Threshold offers a weather-tight seal, perfect for cold climate locations and areas that are exposed to direct wind and rain. This application is similar to the one used with sliding glass doors and French Doors.

Our Flush Guide is much different from threshold systems, which are commonly used for French doors. This guide is an excellent choice for either an interior application or an opening with sufficient coverage from the outside elements. It mounts directly into your floor creating a smooth transition from room to room or indoors to outdoors.

For industrial applications Lanai Doors offers a Low Rise Guide, which is ADA compliant. This works well for restaurants, storefront applications or homes that are unable to utilize the flush guide.

We recommend using a professional to install your Lanai Doors system. Your Lanai Doors, like most French doors, will arrive with a complete set of instructions to assist with every step of the installation. And as always, our customer service representatives are always happy to answer any questions you or your installer may have.

We recommend having your professional installer give you final rough opening dimensions, in order to get the perfect fit.
