Glass Doors
Custom glass door systems, engineered for modern interiors and commercial entryways throughout New York City.
In Brooklyn and across NYC, glass doors have moved from lobby classics to everyday necessity. Residential lofts need daylight, corner delis need security — we provide both. Our shop, ten minutes off Prospect Park, cuts, tempers, and installs every panel we sell. No middleman, no excuses.
We custom-fabricate each leaf to 0.5 mm tolerance, hinge it with certified commercial hardware, glaze it with fully tempered safety glass, then stand behind the assembly for years of hard slamming, high-traffic, New-York-style durability.

Custom Glass Door Solutions
No two door openings match, especially in pre-war Brooklyn where a ¼-inch out-of-plumb wall is where history lives. We laser-measure every jamb, generate a CAD submittal within 24 hours, then cut low-iron or laminated glass to that exact trapezoid.
Residential projects typically get ⅜-inch tempered for quiet self-close feel. Commercial work — a storefront on Myrtle, Class-A office in Downtown — gets ½-inch fully tempered plus patch-fitted rail: the look is frameless, the function is heavy-duty. Interior sliders divide co-working lofts without stealing light, entry doors pivot on a five-pin spindle rated for 500 kg. Every edge is flat-polished, every corner mitered, every hole countersunk. When the city inspector asks for 29 U.L.-labeled glass doors tomorrow, we already have the labels in a drawer.
What Glass Doors Are Perfect For
Transparent street-to-store visibility for retail, sound-buffered office wings that still feel collegiate, a conference room that can go frosted at the flip of a switch, or a clean architectural transition from limestone foyer to glass curtain wall — no lintel, no threshold trip-bar, just one continuous plane of light.
Where Glass Doors Are Used
Offices stack them along perimeter walls to harvest harbor views. Storefronts on Flatbush Avenue hinge them outward for CDTA clearance. Commercial buildings lock them in Revolving sets to satisfy 34 lb maximum opening force. Residential interiors pocket them between kitchen and terrace. Conference rooms butt-joint four panels so the CEO never loses eye contact with the team.

Design Options for Glass Doors
We treat doors as moving walls: they must seal, slide, swing, or spin without wobble. Choose clear low-iron for jewel-box clarity, satin-etch for privacy, or digital print for branding. Pair 13-inch pivot sets with floor-mounted boxes if you don't like jambs, specify swing pairs with offset pull-handles if you love tradition. Sliding hardware can ride exposed barn-style for artisan lofts or disappear into ceiling pockets for minimalists. Every system is tested and built to last. We furnish thermal-break aluminum frames when ASHRAE 90.1 compliance is mandatory, or full-gasket frameless when your architect mails us a sketch. Our engineering letter, sealed in New York, accompanies every submittal so permits move, they don’t stall.
Glass Types
Tempered glass, four times stronger than annealed, fragments into dice, not daggers. Laminated glass stays captive even when shattered. Frosted glass options, acid-etch or sandblast, 10–80% opacity. Low-iron glass, 91% visible light transmission, no green edge, perfect when you want it as clear as possible.
Door Configurations
Single swing — left or right hand, 90° or 180°. Pivot systems — offset 4 in from leaf edge, carry 500 lb without floor closer. Sliding doors, top-hung barn, bottom-roller patio, or frameless glass-to-glass corner. Frameless options, patch fittings, standoff pins, no verticals — just glass.
Hardware & Closers
Handles, patch fittings, door closers — concealed overhead, delayed action. Soft-close mechanisms and hydraulic brakes. Commercial-grade hardware — thoroughly tested, decent warranty, salt-spray tested because Brooklyn winters eat cheap low-grade metals in no time.
How Our Glass Door Projects Work
Consultation & Measurement
We meet on site within 24 hours carrying digital lasers, plumb bobs, and coffee. Produce a ±1 mm field sketch, flag code issues, and email a fixed-price proposal the same night.
Design & Custom Fabrication
Approve shop drawings, then we CNC-cut, arris-polish, and temper in-house. Laminate or ceramic-frit as specialized.
Professional Installation
Our union glaziers set frames, level hinges, torque anchors to 85 ft-lb, and seal with DOWSIL 983 structural sealant — hand-tool, no bubbles. We protect adjacent marble with Masonite, vacuum glass chips, and leave a Level-5 finish.
Final Inspection
You receive a signed fabrication card, DOB filing receipt, and warranty deed. Operate the door ten cycles with the superintendent watching — then we all sign off and go home.
