A Single French Door Entry with Wider Side Light

This iron French single door with two sidelights is designed for exterior front entries that need more natural light and a wider visual presence without using a full double-door layout. The single active door keeps daily entry simple, while the sidelights help brighten the foyer and make the overall opening feel more balanced.

This design is a practical option when the rough opening is wider than a standard single door but the homeowner does not want two active door panels. The sidelights can be adjusted in width to better fit the project, helping the entry look proportional instead of leaving the main door too narrow or oversized.

FD314 is custom made, so the layout can be adjusted to match the opening and design preference. Although this product is shown as a single door with two sidelights, the same style can be customized as a double door, a single door with one sidelight, or a larger entry system with a matching transom. Size, glass finish, color, swing direction, handle style, jamb depth, sidelight width, and door top design can also be customized.

Who This Door Is Best For:
This door is best for homeowners who want a single front door but need extra light and width from sidelights.

It works well for exterior entries where a standard single door may look too narrow, but a double door may not be necessary for daily use. It is also suitable for homes with a wider entry opening, covered porch, or front facade that needs a more balanced center-door layout.

FD314 is a good choice for customers comparing iron French doors, front doors with sidelights, exterior French doors, and custom iron front doors, especially when they want a made-to-order design that can be adjusted before production.

FAQ:
Can this design be made as a double door?
Yes. Since this is custom made, the same general style can be changed into a double door if the customer prefers a wider active opening.

Can the sidelights be changed in size?
Yes. The sidelight width can be customized to better match the rough opening, entry proportions, and preferred glass layout.

Can FD314 be made with only one sidelight?
Yes. If the opening is narrower or the customer wants an asymmetrical layout, this style can be customized with one sidelight instead of two.

Is the glass on this iron French door fixed?
Yes. For iron French doors, the glass is typically fixed. This door is designed for natural light and entry appearance, not ventilation through operable glass panels.
