At a glance

01

200 Series

02

300 Series

Medium-stile, non-thermal entrance door; 1¾-inch depth.

03

400T Series

Thermally broken entrance door for applications requiring improved thermal separation.

The useful decision

Compare stile width, thermal intent, glass, hardware, traffic and surrounding framing.

01

Choose the profile

Narrow- and medium-stile doors create different frame proportions and hardware space. The 400T adds thermal separation for appropriate applications.

02

Coordinate hardware

Locks, closers, pivots or hinges, panic hardware and accessibility requirements must be coordinated as a complete assembly.

03

Use report values carefully

Laboratory results apply to the tested specimen and conditions. Confirm the proposed configuration with current documentation.

Project checklist

  • Record single or paired leaf, swing direction and clear opening.
  • Build a complete hardware schedule with the project team.
  • Coordinate glass, surrounding framing and threshold.
  • Confirm traffic, accessibility and applicable code requirements.

Avoid assumptions

Questions worth answering

  1. What traffic and abuse level is expected?
  2. Which hardware must fit within the selected stile?
  3. Is thermal separation required at this entrance?
