Long Island Patio Door Features

Precision-built replacement patio doors offer superior protection against leaks and drafts while increasing the safety and security of your Long Island home. Each style has its own built-in advantages.

• Hinged patio doors secure your entry points and improve energy-efficiency with a 5-point locking system that creates a tight seal against the elements and would-be intruders.
• Sliding patio doors feature a unique locking system that literally pulls the door panel into the jamb for a superior fit, resulting in an enhanced weathertight seal and heightened security. Optional auxiliary foot locks boost security when the door is locked and allow you to leave the door partially opened for ventilation.
• Optional exterior keyed locks on both hinged and gliding patio doors provide secure but easy access from outside.

Boosting Security & Safety with Long Island Replacement Windows

Consider the following ways that Renewal by Andersen replacement windows enhance your safety and security.

1. Adding child guards to any window will prevent the window from opening more than four inches. This not only keeps uninvited guests out, it keeps young children from falling through an open window.
2. Double-hung windows have a movable upper sash. This means you can drop the upper sash for air circulation without worrying your toddler will crawl through the opening.
3. Choosing stronger glass protects your assets and your family members. Heat-tempered glass, which is up to four times stronger than standard window glass, resists impact from flying debris and is harder to break for unauthorized entry.
4. Another safety feature many homeowners appreciate is a recessed lock, which is nearly impossible to pry open from the outside of your home.
5. Selecting one of the beautiful patterned glass options that obscure an intruder’s view increases privacy in bathrooms and changing areas without blocking all natural light.
