Patio doors are the first thing a homeowner sees, so it is important that they match the aesthetic of the home. Unfortunately, many homeowners end up with a poorly constructed door that compromises their security and increases energy costs. This article will show you how to choose a high-quality patio door that can withstand the elements.
MGM Vinyl Doors
Located in Hendersonville, Tennessee, MGM Industries has built up a solid regional reputation for making high quality painted vinyl windows and doors for the new construction market. While MGM originally began by focusing on jalousie windows, the company has since transitioned to a focus on clad wood alternative products for both new construction and replacement applications.
MGM’s ability to adapt to the market stems from its willingness to listen to customers, says Gaskins. MGM is able to meet a variety of market demands by extruding its own PVC and offering features such as 180 brickmould profiles, integral J-channels, and mullions that are extruded as a single unit.
MGM has a unique method of painting the high-quality vinyl windows and doors that it manufactures. In order to receive a warranty repair or replacement, a customer must provide an MGM warranty claim number along with proof of purchase and a completed and signed warranty form. MGM will then arrange shipping to the customer via LTL or UPS.

Ply Gem is one of the most well-known vinyl brands, and it has several window series for new construction and replacement applications. It offers a wide range of styles, colors and options, such as blinds between the glass.
Its Builder Series 5700 patio doors offer a variety of operating configurations to open up living spaces. Hinged and sliding models provide easy access to the outdoor space and maximize fresh air flow. They feature full-perimeter weatherstripping to block out drafts.
