Engineered for modern simplicity, the 3000 traditional, two-panel slider integrates near-invisible screens, thermal options, and premium upgrades for a door that quietly elevates any space.
Fleetwood’s aptly named Archetype hardware embodies our clientele’s commitment to luxury architectural principles. Our engineers design our proprietary hardware, not as an accessory, but as an integral element that ensures flawless functionality. Handcrafted in the USA from American-made, marine-grade stainless steel, each piece is electropolished for coastal endurance and backed by our Transferable Lifetime warranty.
Timeless Finishes. Cleaner Living. With proper maintenance, our anodized finishes and factory-baked paints last a lifetime, reducing chemical waste from refinishing. We also use processes that eliminate Volatile Organic Compounds that some products emit into the air. This ensures the healthiest home and supports our planet's environment.

High Efficiency Glass: Modern glazing from Fleetwood coupled with increasingly efficient insulation techniques allows a minimalist design with huge glass that does not compromise energy consumption.
“T” = Thermally Broken: The “T”, e.g. 3000-T, indicates the frame is constructed of thermally broken aluminum in order to reduce condensation/frost and provide a lower U-Factor. Fleetwood began designing windows and doors in the 1990’s using the ‘pour & de-bridge’ method. In the last decade, Fleetwood added the ‘strut’ method for many newer designs because it offers greater flexibility in certain products, such as sliding doors.
Slip-Strut Technology: Thermally broken extrusions may bow slightly with prolonged exposure to direct sun. To reduce this temporary effect, Fleetwood uses the latest technological advancement called a ‘slip-strut’ in the 3000-T lock stile. This two-piece strut reduces the bowing without compromising thermal performance. Other brands simply offer a non-thermally broken extrusion, which defeats the entire purpose of a thermal break.
Security Benefits: Fleetwood endeavors to make products better instead of cheaper, resulting in specialty products that other manufacturers should not attempt. High-security laminated glass (like your car windshield) coupled with robust Fleetwood framing can withstand severe impact.
Noise Control: Fleetwood chooses to offer a wide range of options instead of limiting features to increase profit and simplify production. Sound dampening upgrades to glass and products are available without affecting the budget or design.
Fire/Heat Resistance: Steel products are designed and rated to resist fire damage, but these products are limited in function and can be costly. While not rated, Fleetwood aluminum products offer great performance and style and actually help maintain wall integrity during a fire. Typical residential windows (wood or vinyl) add to the flame whereas extruded aluminum retains its form at over 1000 °F.
Fleetwood’s sliding door interlockers are among the slimmest on the market, and now available with a 1" narrow interlocker as an option. Methodical engineering and aluminum thickness allow slender lines without compromising structural integrity.
