West Jordan Window Replacement provides professional french doors in West Jordan, UT for residential and commercial properties across southwest Salt Lake County. French doors give you a wide opening with no track underfoot and a look a slider will never match. They are also the door most often specified in the wrong swing, and here the situation is usually a deck or a stair landing with limited room.
Swing direction is the first decision and it is not a preference. An out-swing pair needs clear space outside for two leaves at ninety degrees, which a small deck rarely has and a window well or areaway definitely does not. An in-swing pair needs the same space inside, which costs you furniture placement in a room you are trying to open up.
Weather performance splits the same way. Out-swing doors seal against the frame under wind pressure and shed water better, which is why coastal specifications favor them. In-swing doors are pushed off their seal by the same pressure, so they lean harder on the weatherstripping and the threshold to stay dry. Neither is wrong. What is wrong is choosing a swing from a showroom display without measuring the space it needs on your own house.
Nobody asks about the astragal and everybody feels it. It is the vertical member on the passive leaf that the active leaf latches into, and it carries the flush bolts top and bottom. A thin astragal on a wide pair will flex, the doors will rattle, and the fix afterwards is not simple.
Multipoint locking is worth the money on any exterior pair. Throwing the handle drives bolts into the head and the sill as well as the jamb, which pulls the whole leaf tight against the seal and stops the seasonal misalignment that leaves a strip of daylight at the top corner every February. Multipoint gear also spreads the load across the leaf instead of concentrating it at one latch, which is why the doors stay square.
Sagging is the classic failure and it is usually installation rather than the door. A pair hung out of plumb puts all the load on the top hinge, the leaf drops a few millimeters and then the latch stops finding the strike. Heavy-gauge hinges, a properly shimmed jamb and a square opening prevent it permanently. We check plumb, level and square at the opening before the unit comes off the truck, and we shim behind every hinge screw.
Glazing in a door and in any panel beside it is a hazardous location, so it is tempered. That includes sidelites and any fixed lite within the distances the code sets from the door edge. It is not an upgrade and it is not optional, and it appears on our quotes as a line so you can see it is there.
For a basement bedroom in a walkout, we would generally point you to a sliding door instead. A slider needs no swing clearance, seals well when it is a good one, and serves the escape requirement without asking anything of the space outside. French doors are the better door in the better location.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — net clear opening measured clear of the sash, crank-operated casement with a folding handle, low expansion perimeter foam at the shim points, warm-edge insulating spacer with argon fill, heat-welded vinyl corner joints, pultruded fiberglass frame profile — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve West Jordan and nearby communities including West Valley City, Taylorsville, South Jordan, Riverton.

Materials, equipment and how we do french doors
The difference between french doors that lasts and french doors that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with net clear opening measured clear of the sash, crank-operated casement with a folding handle, low expansion perimeter foam at the shim points, warm-edge insulating spacer with argon fill, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every West Jordan job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in southwest Salt Lake County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why West Jordan Chooses West Jordan Window Replacement
- ✓We measure net clear opening before we price a single unit. The number that matters in a sleeping room is what stays open after the sash swings, and it is never the number printed on the box.
- ✓Concrete cutting, lintels and well work are separate lines on our estimates. Nobody should discover that a foundation cut was folded into a per-window price after the saw is already running.
- ✓We price glass-only repair against full replacement on the same page. A fogged sealed unit in a sound frame is a glass job, and pretending otherwise is how people end up buying eleven windows to fix two.
- ✓Operating style is chosen by geometry first and taste second. Casement, slider, awning and double hung give four different clear openings out of one identical hole, and we show you all four before you choose.
