Hardware
The Andersen 100 Series offers a selection of hardware designed to complement the style and functionality of their exterior gliding and patio doors. These hardware options are crafted to provide both aesthetic appeal and reliable performance, ensuring a seamless user experience.
For the Andersen 100 Series gliding doors, the primary hardware component is the handle set. These handle sets are available in a variety of finishes to match different home exteriors and interior décor. Common finish options typically include:
- White
- Black
- Brushed Nickel
- Polished Brass
The handle sets are engineered for easy operation, providing a secure grip and smooth engagement with the locking mechanism. They are designed to be integrated directly into the door panel, maintaining a clean and streamlined appearance.
In addition to the primary handle set, the Andersen 100 Series doors may also feature hardware related to the locking system. These can include:
- Interior thumbturns for convenient locking and unlocking from inside the home.
- Keyed locks for enhanced security on exterior doors.
The specific configurations of locking hardware can vary depending on the door model and its intended security features. However, the focus remains on user-friendliness and durability.
For the Andersen 100 Series patio doors, similar hardware considerations apply, with an emphasis on durability and ease of use. The handle sets for these doors are also available in a range of finishes, often mirroring those found on the gliding doors to ensure design consistency across the product line. These handle sets are designed to be robust and comfortable to operate, supporting the weight and movement of the patio door panels.
Both gliding and patio door options within the 100 Series may also incorporate hardware for screen operation. This can include:
- Screen door handles that are designed to be unobtrusive yet functional.
- Rolling mechanisms or guides that ensure smooth sliding of the screen for ventilation and pest protection.
The hardware for the Andersen 100 Series is generally constructed from materials known for their strength and resistance to corrosion, ensuring longevity even in challenging environmental conditions. The finishes are applied to provide a lasting aesthetic appeal and protection against wear and tear.
