Just built 3 living room windows from quartered white oak. I used Truth hardware which worked out really nicely. Now I’m looking to build a french patio door that opens outward and I’m looking for hardware. Truth makes the locking mechanism and lockset but doesn’t seem to have hinges or weatherstrip. The hinges would have to be weatherproof (Seattle area) and it’d be nice to get something to match the handles etc. Anyone have a source for this stuff? Thanks

I had three sets of French doors and I got all the Hardware from Van Dyke Restorers. They have a website, and an excellent catalogue

doing almost the exact same as you. My local yard can S.O. anything from Baldwin Brass. 3x3 with Lifetime finish are ( sit down) 65.00$ a PR. Add for finials.

Seriously Folks, I need a home for 3 lovers of your life.
Get the 3 point locking mechanism.
Since it's opening outward, be sure your hinges have non-removable pins! buic
"Since it's opening outward, be sure your hinges have non-removable pins!"Or other tamper resitance system such as indexing pins on the hinges. In fact it is easy to add that yourself...

A-holes. Hey every group has to have one. And I have been elected to be the one. I should make that my tagline.
Thank you all for yor help. I got an email from Truth indicating that they do make the hinges although I can't find them in their web catalog.
Plenty of info here to get me moving. Thanks again.
before you decide on door thickness, check what door shoes, sweeps are avialable ..
