good quality PVCu french doors (aka windows !)

I will be fitting a 1500mm wide double glazed PVCu french door which will be the only door at the back of the house. So it needs to be very reliable when used as a single door, i.e. one side left locked / closed, and the other side used as a single door. It will be used a lot like this, since only double opening required in summer as you can imagine. Can anyone recommend good manufacturers for this purpose ?

By the way, I saw some cheap french doors in B&Q. Then I realised why. There was a great big bar down the middle. You openened the two sides and there was a great big post in the middle of the gap ! Who would design such a thing ? Simon.

If it is the £199 ones from B+Q, then the bar in the middle is attached to one of the doors, so is not stuck in the middle. I fitted one last September, and was quite surprised at how good they are, well worth the money. Can be used how you wish, and opened either in or outward. I also fitted my own, from B+Q around 6 years ago, and have been very please with them though they were around £450 then. Alan.

So I guess the door that opens "first", or the openable door when one is locked, is pre-defined to be one side or the other at manufacture. Or can be "bar" be fixed to either side ? I'm just wondering which half I'd need to use as the "single" door. Simon.

I've no complaints with u-fit. Don't know if they qualify as "good".

Mine also looks as though it has a bar in the centre - but it is attached to the least opening door. Perhaps the one on show hadn't been fully assembled
