EasyGlide 76

The all-season patio door

Not a fan of sliding patio doors, especially for the harsh North American climates?


Understandable.

Patio doors get a bad reputation for a reason: most just use mohair gaskets that create friction but don’t provide a proper seal. Over time, these gaskets wear out and the door becomes even more drafty, causing the service calls and door replacements that nobody wants to deal with.

The EasyGlide 76 is engineered differently. European hardware pushes the sash away from the frame as the door opens, allowing for the use of rubber gaskets.

This is a parallel sliding door, not your standard friction slider. Its parallel sliding function makes both buttery-smooth operation and airtight compression sealing possible, a combination that sets the EasyGlide apart in the North American patio door market.

No more drafty seals, no more struggling to open the door. This door will have your customers satisfied all year round, for decades.

Effortless movement
‍

Maintenance-free bogie wheels and European sliding door hardware ensure the sash glides smoothly with a simple push.

Keep out the drafts
‍

Compression sealing and an advanced gasket system deliver exceptional thermal performance and noticeably reduced outdoor noise.

Reliable security
‍

Multi-point locking (three points on the centre mullion and four on the frame side) provides exceptional protection and lasting peace of mind.

Premium feel and built to last

Steel reinforced uPVC profiles, welded sash and frame corners, Siegenia hardware, and a 10-year limited warranty all ensure long-lasting durability.

Engineered in Germany, Made in Canada

The EasyGlide 76 is a German patio door system that Fentro has NAFS and NFRC tested for North America. Fentro builds these doors in Canada and distributes them to window and door manufacturers across North America.

Custom Sizes as Standard

We don’t charge extra for custom. Submit an EasyGlide 76 order with your exact measurements and we will build the door you need - up to a max size of 165” x 96”.

‍

Delivered Unglazed to Manufacturers

We work B2B with window and door manufacturers, which is why the EasyGlide 76 is delivered unglazed - the manufacturer takes care of the glazing with their discounted glass rates.
