Here’s some useful information on the various available door configurations. Whether you’re looking for a single or double door with or without a transom or sidelite, you’ll be able to make an informed decision. Front doors are offered in a wide variety of configurations to fit all different types of openings.
The choice of a single door is probably the most popular among homeowners. This type of door is often less expensive than other door configurations and often meets the main criteria of homeowners. Another advantage of single doors is that their installation is simpler than double doors, making them an excellent choice no matter the circumstances.
If you want to give your home a more luxurious style or simply allow more natural light, you can opt for double doors. A double door is a type of door made up of two panels. There are different variations, with one panel that opens or both wings that open.
Double doors are often favored for the aesthetic they provide, but also for the wider opening they can offer compared to single doors. However, they require more labor during installation and are usually more expensive at the time of purchase, but in the long run, you won’t regret it, as they provide true comfort!
This frame, designed to replace the width of two standard sidelite, creates almost the effect of a double door. Several window models are available.

You have the option to add a fixed panel to the side of the door (sidelite), above the entry door (transom), or both options together. Of course, these choices are entirely optional, but they have the advantage of providing a significant increase in natural light while also giving your exterior entrance a different aesthetic.
