Doors with Glass Panels: Creating Light while Maintaining Style

With an interior door featuring glass panels, it's all about the available space on the door stile. Because the wooden stiles next to the glass are considerably narrower than on a solid interior door, standard door hardware often doesn't fit. Wide backplates or large rosettes can easily overlap the glazing beads.

Our practical tip

Before ordering, always first measure the exact width of the door stile (the wood next to the glass). Is this space limited? Then opt for door handles on a slender rosette or for specific narrow backplate hardware. This prevents the rosette from resting on the glazing bead or the screws from touching the glass. Combine the hardware with slim hinges for a sleek, modern finish.
