Quality of Construction 1-1/2 inch minimum frame thickness

The Co-owner may also install the door themselves.  First time installations may need framing strips added to the door frame.

Approved Models

The following Brands/Model lines meet the above specifications as of May 2106.  Note that retailers such as The Home Depot, Lowe’s, and Menards may relabel the model lines within the Anderson and Larson brands.  Please check to make sure that the above specifications are met.

  • Anderson 4000 Series: Top of the line – Full View with an easy quick change full length glass and insect screen panels.  Low-E, Dual Pane, & Laminated Safety Glass available.  Sandtone is the required color.
  • Anderson 3000 Series: Optional roll up screen for top half of door, movable glass panels over insect fixed screen, or interchangeable glass & insect screen panel.  Note that the interchangeable glass & screen model is a very difficult change out – the plastic spine to hold the glass or screen in place needs excessive force to snap in place.  Sandtone is the required color.
  • Larson: Different retailers rename the model lines.  Check to see if all specifications are met. “Sandstone” is the required color.
