The Disappearing 32 Inch Patio Door
Vintage 1980's catalog with 5 foot 4 inch French Patio Door Unit for sale!
Remember the old timey Patio Door with two 32 inch wide full glass doors?
Well, neither does anyone else (unless you have one in your house), but there are a heck of a lot them around from 20-30 years ago that now need to be replaced or repaired.
Why manufacturers have declared war on this particular dimension is a mystery, but this vintage catalog from 30 years ago lists the specifications people used to install the original design.
These doors were once a legitimate option in the home builders design kit. Now, not so much…..
