New Front Doors

Time for a front entry face lift for this Lake Oswego ranch-style house.

Original Door & Sidelights. Our client wanted some glass in his new door that would match the art-glass we were going to install into the sidelights.

In order to avoid the cost of having someone build custom-sized art-glass units made for our client’s original direct-glazed sidelight openings…

..our technicians Doug & Nate built some custom-sized sidelight sash on-site that facilitated our installing the new, smaller, “stock-sized” glass inserts that we purchased from Simpson into our client’s existing sidelight openings.

A third option would have been to rebuild the “rough-opening” to facilitate a couple stock-sized sidelight sash built by Simpson Door. That would have required replacing the jamb assembly as well. Reusing the original rough-opening AND jamb-assembly was the most economical.

This is Simpson’s Venetia II Model 4224 door w/ brass-caming. This photo shows one of the new sidelights installed.

This close-up after-shot shows the brass-caming in the art-glass that happens to match the brass interlocking weather-stripping we installed on the door.
