Western Systems’ Classic Line of moving glass walls combines exceptional capability with ease of use and versatility. With a narrow profile, stainless-steel rolling hardware, and standard or thermally broken aluminum for energy performance, no wonder it’s been the choice of builders for over two decades.
Multi-slide doors blur the transition between the inside and the outside.
Western Pocket Doors
A pocket door is a type of sliding door that slides completely into and disappears within a compartment in the adjacent wall when opened. This design helps save space compared to traditional hinged doors that swing open and closed. Pocket doors are commonly used in homes where space optimization is important.
Western Stacking Doors
A stacking door is a type of sliding door system that consists of multiple panels that slide and stack behind one another when opened. This allows for a wide opening and unobstructed views, making it ideal for areas like patio or deck entrances where a large and seamless transition between indoor and outdoor spaces is desired. Stacking doors are popular for their ability to create a sense of openness and flow between different areas of a home or building.
Compare Pocket Doors and Stacking Doors
A stacking door and a pocket door are both types of sliding doors, but they have different design and function:
Pocket Door
- Slides completely into a compartment in the wall when opened
- Saves space and keeps the door out of the way
- Ideal for areas with limited space where a swinging door may be a hindrance
Stacking Door
- Consists of multiple panels that slide and stack behind one another when opened
- Can cover wide openings and provide a more expansive opening when fully opened
- Suitable for large openings such as patio or deck entrances where a wide and unobstructed view is desired
Western Pivot Doors
Boldly dramatic and decidedly modern, Western Window Systems’ Pivot Door stands out in any space. With the ability to swing in or out, its unique distribution of weight makes creating large openings with just a single panel not only possible, but desirable. To take your creativity even further, it can be paired with any of our window styles.

Operation
Custom pivot hardware supports the weight of the door on the bottom arm, creating less stress on the frame and allowing the door to swing smoothly and effortlessly.
