Pivot Door Sidelites

About the Pivot Door Sidelites

Pivot door sidelites are fixed glass panels that sit beside a pivot entry door to widen the opening and pull more daylight into the foyer. They let an oversized front door read as one continuous wall of glass rather than a door cut into a wall.

Each sidelite is made to order to match the frame color and glass of your pivot door, so the whole entry looks like a single system. Choose clear glass, one of three Low-E coatings, satin etch for privacy or Switch Lite glass that turns private on demand.

Pivot Door Sidelites questions

Do sidelites have to match the door?

They should. We build sidelites to the same frame color and glass as your pivot door so the entry reads as one piece. If you want contrast, satin etch sidelites with a clear door are a popular way to add privacy.

Can sidelites be quoted with my pivot door?

Yes. We quote the door and sidelites together so the sizes, frame color and glass line up as one entry.

How do sidelites affect privacy?

Clear sidelites maximize light. For more privacy, choose satin etch glass or Switch Lite privacy glass, which turns opaque at the flip of a switch.
