    Hi

    French doors don't normally go above 1800mm, 1900mm at a push. Regarding glass K glass is pritty much standard now, but remember that in an extension you will need a U-value of 1.8 or lower so Argon Gas will properly be needed. Locking system without Hook bolts are generally not recommender by the IBA (Institute of British insurers).

    Hope this help
