Door panels that are hinged from the side and swing open from the middle are hinged or French patio doors. These type of doors can be either single or side-by-side configuration and are available as inswing (opening into the interior or the home) or outswing (opening up to the outside).
Side-by-side French patio doors can both work as active operation, meaning both doors are operable, or can be a combination of active/inactive, where one door is operable and one is stationary.
French patio doors combine a sophisticated and classic look with ease of operation. Hinged French doors offer a great option for entertaining.
