Custom door applications

Custom Shutters for Doors

Custom shutters for doors, French doors, sidelights, and sliding glass doors with handle clearance, louver operation, and precise custom fit.

Plan for handles, hinges, and daily use

French doors, sliding doors, and entry glass need different shutter layouts. We check handle clearance, the direction the door opens, and the space available for shutter panels so you can choose a treatment that works with the door.

Features

Hardware clearance

Layouts are planned around handles, knobs, hinges, and locks so the door remains usable.

Privacy at entries

Adjustable louvers give glass doors privacy without replacing the door or adding fabric panels.

Custom shadowboxes

Door and sidelight applications can use fitted shadowbox-style frames for a clean built-in appearance.

Build around the way the door opens

A hinged door and a sliding door need different hardware. We measure the glass, handles, and nearby walls, then show you where the shutter panels will sit when the door is in use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can shutters be installed on doors with handles?

Yes. Door shutter layouts are planned around handle and knob placement so louvers and panels have the clearance they need.

Do door shutters affect door operation?

A properly planned door shutter should preserve everyday use. The design must account for swing direction, hinges, and hardware before fabrication.

Can entry sidelights match the door shutters?

Yes. Sidelights can be fitted with coordinating narrow shutters so the glass beside the door coordinates with the door shutters.
