- Door thickness is 1 ½"
- The weight of the doors will vary depending on the style and size. A 3’0 x 8’0 door weighs approximately 200-250 lbs.
- Cantera standard glass frames are prepared to accommodate 5/8" tempered, insulated glass units. Other sizes of glass can be adapted if specified at the time of order.
- Our specs for standard hardware are 2 1/8" boring, 2 3/8" backset, 5 ½" center to center. Exact measurements for other hardware sizes may be used, including most mortise locks, but must be specified at the time the door is ordered.
- The doors come on a pre-hung unit with a steel frame. The steel frame supports the weight of the door and allows ease at installation.
- The doors can be insulated upon request. We use high quality foam insulation that is pumped into the framing and also into the body of the door. We recommend using double pane insulated glass as well if insulation of the door is requested.
- Extension flush bolts are used on double door units. The flush bolt is the mechanism that locks the inactive leaf of a double door unit. One flush bolt locks into the top of the door frame and the bottom flush bolt locks into the threshold/floor.
- Our doors are constructed of 14 gauge steel framing.
- A combination of foam and rubber weather stripping is used around the door frame. The weather stripped glass frame and the rubber sweep make the door weather tight.
- The glass frame can be tailored to accept almost any glass thickness in accordance to building requirements in your area. NOTE: we recommend tempered glass for use on ALL units.
- There is the option of the swing of the door to be in or out.
- If the doors are being used on a commercial building, they must swing out and have a closing mechanism.
- Lever handles cannot be used on the inside of a double door as they interfere with the ability to open the independent glass panel.
- Eyebrow, half circle, and elliptical arches can be used in transom designs.
- Any of our designs can be made as a single or double door or with any of the arch shapes incorporated in the design of the top of the door. We can also manufacture gates, patio doors or wine cellar entries with simple modifications.
- We can also custom build new designs according to the needs of the client.
