A Grand Single-Door Entry with Side Light and Upper Light
This big iron French single door with two sidelights and a transom is designed for front entries that need a larger, brighter, and more complete architectural look without using a double-door layout. The center door keeps everyday entry simple, while the two sidelights and top transom bring natural light from both sides and above the opening.
Compared with a standard single French front door, this design feels wider and taller because the glass extends across the full entry system. It is a strong fit for custom homes, grand front entrances, and exterior openings where homeowners want the function of one active door with the visual presence of a larger iron French door system.
Each door system is made to order with options for size, finish color, glass type, swing direction, handle style, sidelight width, transom height, and thermal break upgrades. Free curbside delivery is available across the continental United States.
Who This Door Is Best For
Front entries that need a larger look without using double doors
Homeowners who want one active door with sidelights and a transom
Custom homes with taller or wider exterior openings
Projects that need more natural light from both sides and above the door
Traditional, transitional, and modern homes that need a balanced entry system
FAQ：
What do the two big sidelights add to this design?
The sidelights add width, balance, and natural light on both sides of the center door. They help the entry feel more open while keeping the main door easy to use.
What is the benefit of the transom on FD242?
The transom adds upper light and visual height, making the entry feel taller and more complete. It is especially useful for larger front openings where a single door alone may look too short or narrow.
Is FD242 better for front entries or patio spaces?
FD242 is best positioned as a grand front entry or main exterior entry door. Its single-door center layout with sidelights and transom is more entry-focused than patio-focused.
Can the sidelight width and transom height be adjusted?
Yes. The overall size, sidelight width, transom height, glass finish, finish color, swing direction, handle style, and thermal break upgrade can be customized based on the project requirements.
