You should refer to the proprietary lease regarding responsibilities.
Management companies do not dictate or establish house rules, the governing documents do ( bylaws, PL, NYCBL). If those documents are unclear or not specific enough, you should seek advise from the buildings attorney.

We do have our attorney looking into this. It looks like we will have to amend the proprietary lease because it does not specifically reference terrace doors and only mentions "'special doors' are the responsibility of the lessee." I'm sure the shareholders questioning this will argue that the term 'special doors' is not specific enough and open to interpretation.
I am just curious to get feedback from other buildings to hear how terrace doors are covered in their governing docs.
