French Door Installation Portland, Oregon.
OJB Solutions installs and replaces exterior French doors throughout the Portland metro. We handle the opening, frame, trim, weatherproofing, and installation details needed to create a clean transition between your home and outdoor living space.
Double-Door Exterior Openings
French doors can create a wide, finished connection to the outdoors.
Exterior French doors use a pair of hinged door panels to create a larger opening than a typical single exterior door. They are commonly used for patios, decks, backyards, and other exterior living areas.
OJB Solutions installs replacement French doors and can coordinate related work around the opening, including exterior trim, frame repairs, flashing, sealing, and weatherproofing.
The condition and size of the existing opening matter. Before installation, we evaluate the door opening and surrounding exterior construction so the project scope reflects the actual work required.

Planning a French Door Project
The door system has to work with the opening and the space around it.
Opening Size
The rough opening and existing exterior conditions need to match the requirements of the selected French-door unit.
Door Swing
Interior or exterior swing affects furniture, deck space, walkways, hardware placement, and how the finished opening functions.
Active & Inactive Panels
Many French-door systems use one primary operating panel and a second panel that can be opened when a wider opening is wanted.
Threshold Conditions
The sill and threshold area must coordinate with the interior floor, exterior surface, and weatherproofing details at the opening.
Frame Condition
Existing deterioration or damage around the opening may need to be repaired before the replacement door is completed.
Exterior Finish
Siding, trim, flashing, and sealants around the opening need to be incorporated into the finished installation.
