Two Ways to Open, One Secure Patio Door
European Tilt and Turn Doors for Balconies, Decks and Patios
A tilt and turn door gives you two ways to open from a single handle. Tilt the top of the door inward for safe, draft-free fresh air, or turn the handle and swing the door fully open like a classic hinged door for easy access to your deck, balcony or backyard.
ANKA tilt and turn patio doors are built on our Fens 7600 uPVC profile system with German Roto hardware and manufactured in our Calgary facility. They bring the sealing, security and insulation of a European tilt and turn window to a full-height door, making them one of the most energy efficient patio door choices for Calgary homes.
How the Tilt and Turn Function Works
One handle controls everything. Each position gives you a different way to use the door:
• Handle down: the door is closed and locked at multiple points around the frame
• Handle up: TILT mode. The top of the door leans inward a few inches for steady, secure ventilation, even in light rain or while you are away
• Handle sideways: TURN mode. The door swings fully inward on its side hinges for wide access to your patio, and for easy cleaning of both sides of the glass
• Tilt-first safety option: the door tilts before it turns, ideal for homes with children
• Optional night ventilation position for a small, locked airflow gap overnight
Because the door opens inward, it never blocks your deck or balcony space and works perfectly with outdoor furniture, planters and screens.
The Most Energy Efficient Patio Door for Alberta Winters
Window-Grade Sealing in a Full-Height Door
Sliding doors have to leave room for the panel to move. A tilt and turn door does not. When you lock it, the door is pulled tight against its frame on all four sides and pressed into continuous compression gaskets, so warm air stays in and cold drafts stay out through -30°C Calgary winters.
• 76 mm deep Fens 7600 multi-chamber uPVC profile that insulates the frame
• Steel reinforcement that keeps the door straight and the seals tight
• Multiple compression gaskets around the full perimeter of the door
• High-performance double-pane glass, with triple-pane available
• Excellent air, water and noise sealing compared with sliding doors
The result is a warmer, quieter home, less condensation and lower heating bills in every season.
Security, Installation and Peace of Mind
Multi-Point Locking for Superior Security
- Roto multi-point locking engages locking cams all around the door with one turn of the handle, not just a single latch
- Mushroom-head locking cams hook into steel security strikers and resist prying and forced entry
- Secure even while tilted: the door stays locked in the frame while it ventilates
- Lockable handle options for added safety and child protection
- Locking pressure also tightens the seal against wind, rain and drafts
