For over twenty-five years Western has been designing, manufacturing, testing and improving our sliding glass doors. We pride ourselves in offering doors with clean, narrow lines that operate smoothly and provide maximum security without additional unsightly gadgets. Our superior frame finishes, state-of-the-art glass products, tried and proven hardware and long-lasting weather-stripping components produce one of the finest sliding glass doors in the industry.
Sizes
Western's sliding glass doors are designed and manufactured specifically for each application in sizes up to 144.00" high with virtually no limit in width.
Sight Lines
By incorporating full-hollow, tubular extrusions at the interlocking and lock stiles, we provide the necessary structural integrity while minimizing the vertical sight lines. Our standard 600 Narrow Stile 1.5" wide interlock is available up to 108" in height, while the 630 Medium Stile 2.5" wide interlock is available up to 144" in height.
Configurations
As with most of Western's products, the configurations available for the Series 600 Door are limitless.Almost any combination of fixed and operating panels, of the same or varying widths, can be achieved. The use of transoms, sidelites, or integration into large window wall systems provides you and your design professionals with freedom to create spectacular openings. The 4.50" frame depth is compatible with Western's Series 600 Window Wall System, and many common commercial storefront systems.
Frame Finishes
Frame finishes are available in virtually any color of high performance Kynar paint, as well as Dark Bronze and Clear anodized. Our most popular frame finishes are Warmtone Tan paint and Dark Bronze anodized. Western maintains a significant inventory of these two finishes to facilitate competitive pricing and short lead times.
Hardware
Smooth, quiet and long lasting operation is assured by Western's heavy-duty tandem roller assemblies. Whether you specify a Narrow Stile with 1.5" diameter rollers, a Medium Stile with 1.81" diameter rollers, or our 3" Monster Roller. The assemblies are capable of handling more than twice the weight of the largest panel available. A fully mortised multipoint hook lock engages an adjustable stainless steel strike plate for added strength and security. A dust box behind the strike is standard and will hide the wall behind the jamb. The operation of oversize panels is simplified by a custom extruded aluminum open pull or our new premium handle, both are strong and comfortable to use. Our custom flush pull handle with deep pockets to allow you a comfortable grip on the door.
Threshold Options
Our standard threshold design with an interior sill height of 1.5" meets AAMA C30 commercial specification. For mid-rise applications, or design criteria requiring increased water protection, we can provide our HC40 threshold with a sill height of 1.75". When handicapped access is a consideration, we have an improved access threshold that has been used successfully on many hotel projects.
Glass
The 600 Door is designed to accommodate DUO-PANE® insulating glass manufactured with a 1/2" air space to maximize the benefit of high-performance Low-E. It can also be glazed with a variety of glass types, colors and configurations in any thickness from 3/16" to 1".
Screens
Consistent with the structural integrity and clean lines of the door construction, the screens are manufactured using full-hollow, tubular, hat shaped aluminum extrusions with an integral screw race, resulting in a strong, rigid frame with tight hairline corner joints. Each screen is equipped with a pair of adjustable steel ball bearing rollers at the bottom and a pair of steel tension rollers at the top, to ensure a smooth effortless operation. The screen frame extrusions receive the same finish and color as the door extrusions, so there will never be a difference in appearance, short term or long term.
