A Modern Steel French Entry with Wider Side Light
This modern steel French double door with two large sidelights is designed for front entries that need a wider appearance, more natural light, and a clean contemporary look. The double-door center creates a generous main opening, while the large sidelights expand the full entry visually and bring clear glass light into the home.
Compared with a standard double French door, FD111 feels larger and brighter because the glass extends beyond the two active door panels. It is a strong fit for modern homes, transitional exteriors, and custom entry openings where homeowners want a black steel French door look without heavy scrollwork or ornate details.
Each door system is made to order with options for size, finish color, glass type, swing direction, handle style, sidelight width, door top design, and thermal break upgrades. Free curbside delivery is available across the continental United States.
Who This Door Is Best For:
Modern front entries that need more natural light and width
Homeowners who want a steel French door look with large sidelights
Custom homes with wide exterior entry openings
FAQ:

Is this design suitable for a front entry?
Yes. FD111 is best positioned as a modern front entry door system, especially for wide exterior openings where homeowners want clear glass and a clean black steel frame.

Yes. The sidelight width, glass finish, overall size, color, swing direction, handle style, door top design, and thermal break upgrade can be customized based on the project requirements.
