Milgard SmartTouch® Patio Door Handle

Milgard’s SmartTouch® Patio Door Handle is an intuitively simple, one-touch, sliding glass door opening mechanism. The elegant handle locks or unlocks the door in one easy motion when opening or closing a door, all with one hand. While easy to use, the locking door handle provides rock-solid security, exceeding California’s strict forced-entry requirements. This stylish new patio door handle enhances Milgard brand equity by expanding the SmartTouch family of products.
