Hello and hi. I have acquired two balcony doors (full glass), one left-hinged and one right-hinged door. They are inward-opening, and I will have a balcony outside. It fits perfectly to have them, but I want to mount them frame-to-frame to create as "thin" a central post as possible when I open both doors. I am thinking of screwing them frame-to-frame in the middle and handling both doors as a single unit, and using frame screws as usual on either side of this "double door." On either side of the "double door," use frame screws and insulation as usual.
I can accept the reduced insulation right there on the "central post" for the sake of aesthetics so that it feels like a double door rather than two separate doors placed too close together...
Any wise comments?

Will probably feel strange with the center post there instead of a double door. There are special frame screws for connecting frame-to-frame.

In recent years, there is a window and door manufacturer that does not have the holes for the frame screw at the same height on the left and right side, which allows you to screw together two frames with a 50 mm frame screw instead of expensive frame sleeves.
Yes, it's a little strange with the center post, but I have managed to get two brand new ones with incorrect measurements at a low cost. I already have two fully glazed balcony doors, one left and one right. I think it will be better to have as narrow a center post as possible by skipping the frame between them...Stefan N said:
So smart, thanks for the tip - I'll look into it tomorrow. (The manufacturer is Traryd.)T tergo said:
