Standard Patio Door Dimensions

Standard patio doors have two panels.


Patio doors are commonly created from standard size options. Determine whether you want sliding or hinged doors to consider the available dimensions. If you are replacing patio doors you already have a dimension to fill from standard options. Does this Spark an idea?


Sliding Doors


Sliding patio doors typically come in three standard dimensions. Choose from 60 inches with a frame size of 59 1/2 by 79 1/2 inches, 72 inches with a frame size of 71 1/2 by 79 1/2 inches or 96 inches with a frame size of 95 1/2 by 79 1/2 inches. Sizes vary slightly between manufacturers.


Hinged Doors


Standard dimensions for a set of hinged patio doors is 71 1/4 inches by 79 1/2 inches. At least one, but usually both, of the doors will open in a hinged set.


Custom


Custom doors can vary according to what you want. If you already have a space available, then choose the door based on size. Otherwise you can decide if you want three or more panels of doors instead of the standard two. Or choose interesting shapes like archtops.
