Door & Sidelite Combination
These units are assembled by combining a narrow panel (sidelite) on one or both sides of a single door/prehung. The sidelites can be full glass or a narrow panel with glass. In some cases the sidelite panels are able to be vented towards the exterior by using window hardware to allow fresh air through a screen into the dwelling.
