Medford Window Replacement provides professional french doors in Medford, OR for residential and commercial properties across the Bear Creek Valley. A pair of hinged doors opens all the way. Both leaves swing clear of the frame, so the entire opening becomes free area. On the evenings when this valley starts giving heat back, that is the difference between a room that empties and one that half empties.
It is also the tightest large opening you can buy, which matters during the weeks when the doors stay shut for days at a time. Hinged leaves close against compression weatherstrip on all four edges and pull inward on a multi-point lock, where a slider is always sliding past a brush. Same wall, same size, considerably better seal.
The catch is floor space. Two in-swinging leaves want a clear arc inside the room, which rules them out wherever furniture, an island or a stair landing sits close to the opening. Out-swinging leaves solve that and are common on covered patios here, but they need hinges rated for exposure and a threshold detailed for water arriving from the other direction.
The inactive leaf is what determines quality. It is held by flush bolts top and bottom and sealed by an astragal, and a cheap astragal with a thin gasket is where practically every draft complaint about french doors originates. We specify a full-height astragal and bolts that engage into real strikes rather than into holes bored in the framing on the day.
Hardware should be multi-point, not a single latch in the middle. Three or five engagement points pull a tall leaf flat against the weatherstrip along its entire height, and that is the only way a door of that size stays sealed after a few seasons of the frame moving with a thirty-degree daily swing under a Rogue Valley summer.
Screens are the honest weakness of this door. There is no elegant screen for a hinged pair, and the retractable cassettes that solve the problem are a real product with real maintenance behind them. If you intend to leave this opening open on summer nights with mesh in place, budget for a good retractable system and expect to service it.
The threshold wants to be adjustable. A sill with a captured, raisable seal lets the door be tuned as the slab and the frame settle, so a small gap appearing in year four is a screwdriver rather than a callback and an argument. A fixed threshold on a wide pair is a decision you do not get to revisit later.
Between this and a slider we genuinely split the difference by room. Where the opening is the main summer air path and there is space to swing, we push the hinged pair without hesitation. Where the wall is tight, or the opening is very wide, or the owner wants a screen that works with no thought at all, the slider is the better door.
Our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — net free ventilating area measured after the insect mesh, a high-openness mesh chosen for airflow rather than price, compression gasket pulled tight by a multi-point lock, block-and-tackle balances that hold a sash where you leave it, soft-coat low-emissivity coating placed on the second surface, a warm-edge spacer replacing the aluminum one that failed — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Medford and nearby communities including Ashland, Central Point, Grants Pass, Eagle Point.

Materials, equipment and how we do french doors
The difference between french doors that lasts and french doors that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with net free ventilating area measured after the insect mesh, a high-openness mesh chosen for airflow rather than price, compression gasket pulled tight by a multi-point lock, block-and-tackle balances that hold a sash where you leave it, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Medford job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. Years of window work in the Bear Creek Valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Why Medford Chooses Medford Window Replacement
- ✓Every proposal carries a net free ventilating area figure for each room, after the screen, because that is the number a replacement window quietly takes away and nobody else prints it.
- ✓We specify two ways in one house: the openings you want largest for the overnight purge, and the openings you want tightest for the weeks the valley is full of smoke.
- ✓We count the residential code's openable fraction before we change any operator, since swapping a slider for a fixed unit with a flanker can put a bedroom under it without touching the glass area.
- ✓Solar control is chosen wall by wall against the afternoon, so the elevation looking at Roxy Ann gets a different coating from the shaded north side of the same house.
