Turn fixed french door into an operable one
 

I have a Pella architectural series fixed french door. I want to hinge
it and make it operable. I can handle the hinges and lockset
installation. I am wondering if this is all it takes. That is are the
weatherstripping, edge bevels, and threshold the same on a fixed door
as on an operable one.

BTW I asked Pella this questions and all they could manage was "this
would void the warranty".

For starters you are going to need a dead bolt (I suggest top and
bottom) on one door.

I would tell them you accept that and won't hold thedm to the warranty
and ask them again your questions.

I don't know if you'll do any better, but it would make a better story
when you tellit again. And I'd like to think that after they clear
themselves legally, that they have enough sense to answer a question
about their own product.
