The best match depends on whether you want a traditional prehung French-door unit or a split Dutch-door design. National Door Company’s fiberglass and steel options are prehung exterior double doors with full-lite glass, while the ARK DESIGN and JUJUBON options are Dutch-door slabs that open in separate upper and lower sections. The PURPLE LEAF product is a porch swing, not a door, so it is not a suitable substitute for an exterior French door.
| Product | Best For | Key Distinction |
|---|---|---|
| National Door Company Fiberglass | Full-lite glass and internal blinds | Prehung; left-hand inswing |
| National Door Company Steel | Full-lite glass with decorative grilles | Prehung; left-hand inswing |
| ARK DESIGN Dutch Doors | Wide opening and split-door ventilation | 72-by-80-inch slab; hardware included |
| JUJUBON Dutch Door Slab | Custom finishing and clear glass | 60-by-80-inch slab; hardware not included |
| PURPLE LEAF Porch Swing | Outdoor seating, not an entryway | Not a door product |
National Door Company Fiberglass Door
This 64-by-80-inch National Door Company unit is a prehung exterior double door with a smooth, primed fiberglass finish and a left-hand inswing configuration. Its full-lite glass has white mini blinds sealed between two panes of clear, tempered glass. A single operator controls the blinds, and the double doors open after the astragal is released.
Best for: Buyers who want a prehung double-door unit with adjustable-looking blind coverage without exposed blinds on the room side. It is a better fit than a Dutch-door slab when the priority is a conventional full-height glazed entry.
Limitation: The listing states that it is not for commercial use. Confirm the opening size, handing, and installation requirements before purchase.
National Door Company Steel Door
This 64-by-80-inch prehung exterior double door has a primed steel construction, a left-hand inswing, and full-lite glass with white internal grilles sealed between two panes of clear, tempered glass. The doors are activated by releasing the astragal.
Best for: Homeowners seeking a traditional divided-lite appearance without grilles mounted on the glass surface. Choose this model over the fiberglass option if the internal grille look is more important than between-glass blinds.
Limitation: The listed privacy rating is 0 out of 10, so the glass provides little visual privacy. The product is also identified as unsuitable for commercial use.
ARK DESIGN 72-Inch Dutch Doors
These white double Dutch doors have a 72-by-80-inch slab size, divided into two 40-inch-high sections. Their single-pane clear glass brings in light, and the split design allows the upper half to open independently. The listed construction is a 1.38-inch solid core with a reinforced frame. Hinges, a latch, and an installation manual are included.
Best for: Buyers who want a wide opening and the option to open the upper sections separately for airflow or visibility. The included hardware makes this a more complete choice than a door-only slab.
Limitation: This is a slab, not a prehung unit. Check the stated opening dimensions: 74 by 81.5 inches without a jamb, or 72.5 by 81 inches with a jamb.
JUJUBON 60-Inch Dutch Door Slab
This 60-by-80-inch Dutch-door slab is made from 1.75-inch-thick natural pine and has 4mm clear tempered glass. Its upper and lower 40-inch sections can open separately. The slab is unfinished, allowing the buyer to choose a paint or stain. The listed fit is a 62-by-81.5-inch opening without a jamb or a 60.5-by-81-inch opening with a jamb.
Best for: Buyers who want a narrower split-door design and plan to customize the finish. The listing describes the thicker pine construction and clear glass as key features.
Limitation: Hinges and jamb are not included. Confirm whether the opening measurements match the actual installation before ordering.
PURPLE LEAF Wicker Porch Swing
This product is an outdoor loveseat-style porch swing, not a French door or door slab. Its listed features include hand-woven, UV-resistant wicker, a PVC canopy with an adjustable shade, solar-powered LED lighting, and a metal frame with a stated 750-pound capacity.
Best for: Buyers furnishing a porch or patio rather than replacing an entryway. It is included because it appears in the supplied product list, but it does not meet the double-swing-door search intent.
Limitation: Do not select it for a doorway; it is outdoor seating and has no door panels or installation dimensions.
Buying Guide
Should you choose a prehung door or a slab?
A prehung unit comes as a door assembly, while a slab is the door panel without a jamb. The National Door Company products are listed as prehung. The ARK DESIGN and JUJUBON products are slabs, and JUJUBON specifically notes that hinges and the jamb are not included. Check what the package contains before planning installation.
How do Dutch doors differ from French doors?
Dutch doors split horizontally, allowing the upper and lower sections to operate separately. French doors typically refer to a pair of side-by-side door panels. The listed Dutch-door products offer split-section operation; the National Door Company units are double doors with full-lite glass. Compare the actual configuration with your intended use rather than relying on broad product wording.
What measurements should you verify?
Compare the door size with the rough opening and, where applicable, the framed opening. Also confirm inswing direction, available clearance, and whether a jamb and hardware are included. The stated dimensions differ between the products, so a nominal 60-, 64-, or 72-inch width should not be treated as interchangeable.
Which glass details matter?
Internal blinds provide a way to adjust coverage, while internal grilles create a divided-lite look. Clear glass can admit light but may provide little privacy; the steel model explicitly has a privacy rating of 0 out of 10. The Dutch-door listings also specify clear glass, so consider the entry’s exposure and privacy needs.
