Storefront style doors for patio

We’re looking to add some doors from our dining room to the new deck, I have seen a few homes with nice storefront style doors and am looking for some recommendations. We have no original details in our home so this would fit with our contemporary style. Any recommendations out there? I’m not sold on a design yet but here are a few inspiration doors – white is preferred. I’m not looking to make the back of the house all glass, just the doors.

Thanks

Look into all Aluminum bifolding doors.
You will get plenty of light, and operational doors.
Extremely popular for rear decks/patios at the moment.

How much work at all are you looking to take on? By this I mean are you willing to do the leg work and track things down, or do you just want a plug and play scenario? If plug and play, any iron work shop can hook you up pretty easily. If you’re looking to save a few grand, the easiest way I’ve found to deal with this is to just pick up some old metal doors at Roy Vaccarro’s (next to the Lowe’s parking lot on 9th Street) and then have a welder fabricate a frame. Pretty easy to do, and not terribly expensive. You will need tempered glass insulated inserts, I’ve used Bear glass with good results. On my current project, I spent less than three grand total and that was for three very large windows and one wall of glass with two doors (but I do my own welding, so that will push the price up a bit). I can’t post an image due to size limitations (computers are not my strong suite) however feel free to contact me at BDW13@aol.com if you would like my opinion on how to proceed. I’m not looking to take on additional projects so it would just be an opinion, but at least you’d know that it was an honest opinion.
