Hardware
The Andersen 200 Series offers a selection of hardware designed to complement its patio door offerings, focusing on both functionality and aesthetic appeal. These hardware options are engineered to provide reliable operation and a cohesive look for your Andersen patio doors.
For the Andersen 200 Series Hinged Patio Doors and French Patio Doors, a primary hardware focus is on the locking and operational mechanisms. The primary lock is typically a mortise lock system, known for its robust security and smooth engagement. This system is designed to securely latch the door panel to the frame, providing peace of mind. The exterior and interior handles are available in various finishes to match your home's decor. Common finishes include:
- White
- Nickel
- Oil-Rubbed Bronze
- Black
These finishes are chosen for their durability and ability to withstand regular use and environmental exposure. The handles are ergonomically designed for comfortable operation, ensuring that opening and closing the doors is a smooth and effortless experience.
In addition to the primary lock, hinged patio doors often feature a deadbolt option for enhanced security. This deadbolt is integrated into the mortise lock system, further reinforcing the security of the door.
For the Andersen 200 Series Sliding Patio Doors, the hardware is designed for ease of operation and reliable performance. The focus here is on the rolling system and the locking mechanism that secures the sliding panel. Key hardware components include:
- Roller System: Andersen utilizes a robust roller system that allows the door to slide smoothly along its track. This system is engineered for longevity and consistent performance, even with frequent use.
- Locking Mechanism: A multi-point locking system is often standard or available for sliding patio doors. This system engages multiple points on the door panel, providing enhanced security and a tighter seal against the elements. The lock is typically operated by a thumbturn on the interior and can be secured from the outside with a key for added convenience and safety.
- Handle Hardware: Similar to the hinged doors, the sliding patio doors feature interior and exterior handles in various finishes to complement the door and your home's style. These handles are designed for comfortable grip and easy manipulation of the locking mechanism. Available finishes often include:
- White
- Nickel
- Oil-Rubbed Bronze
- Black
The hardware for the 200 Series patio doors is crafted with durability in mind, using materials that resist corrosion and wear. This attention to detail ensures that the hardware not only functions reliably but also maintains its aesthetic appeal over time, contributing to the overall value and beauty of your Andersen patio doors.
Glass Options
The Andersen 200 Series offers a selection of glass options designed to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics for your exterior doors. These options are tailored to meet various performance needs and stylistic preferences.
- Low-E Glazing: This is a standard feature on all Andersen 200 Series patio doors. Low-E (low-emissivity) glass has a microscopically thin, transparent coating that reflects infrared light (heat) while allowing visible light to pass through. This helps keep your home cooler in the summer by reflecting the sun's heat and warmer in the winter by reducing heat loss from your home.
- Low-E4® Glass: This is an upgraded option that offers even greater energy efficiency. Low-E4® glass provides enhanced performance in both warm and cold climates compared to standard Low-E glazing. It is designed to further reduce heat transfer, leading to potential savings on heating and cooling costs.
- Low-E4® SmartSun™ Glass: This is the most advanced glass option available for the 200 Series. Low-E4® SmartSun™ glass is engineered to maximize visible light transmission while significantly reducing solar heat gain. It offers superior performance for keeping your home cool in the summer, making it an excellent choice for homes in warmer climates or for doors that receive direct, intense sunlight. This option also contributes to a brighter interior environment.
- Tempered Glass: Available on select models and configurations, tempered glass is a safety glass that is heat-treated to be stronger than regular glass. If it breaks, it shatters into small, relatively harmless pebble-like pieces instead of sharp shards, making it a safer choice for doors, especially in areas where safety is a primary concern.
- Obscure Glass: This option provides privacy by distorting visibility through the glass. It is ideal for doors where privacy is desired, such as entry doors or patio doors that face neighbors or high-traffic areas. The obscure finish allows light to enter while preventing clear viewing.
Each glass option is designed to work with the overall construction of the Andersen 200 Series doors, ensuring durability and long-term performance. For specific availability of these glass options on different 200 Series door styles, further consultation with Andersen Windows & Doors product specifications is recommended.

Glass Options
Andersen Windows & Doors, a leader in window and door manufacturing, offers a range of premium glass options for their Andersen - 400 Series exterior patio doors. These options are designed to enhance energy efficiency, comfort, and aesthetics.
The primary glass offering for the Andersen - 400 Series is High-Performance® Low-E4® glass. This standard option provides a balance of performance and value. It features an invisible coating that helps reduce the amount of solar heat gain during the summer and minimizes heat loss during the winter, contributing to a more comfortable indoor environment and potential energy savings.
Advanced Glass Options
For enhanced performance, Andersen offers several advanced glass packages:
- Low-E4® SmartSun™ Glass: This option offers the highest level of energy efficiency. It significantly reduces solar heat gain, keeping interiors cooler in the summer. It also blocks up to 99% of harmful UV rays, which helps protect furniture, flooring, and artwork from fading.
- Low-E4® Sun & Privacy Glass: Designed for areas with intense sun exposure, this glass provides excellent solar heat gain reduction and privacy. It features a tint that can offer a more muted exterior appearance while still allowing ample natural light indoors.

Specialty Glass Features
In addition to the standard and advanced Low-E4® options, Andersen - 400 Series patio doors can be further customized with specialty glass features:

- Obscure Glass: This option is ideal for areas where privacy is a priority. Obscure glass diffuses light and obscures the view, providing a significant level of privacy while still allowing natural light to enter.
