Mahogany &Knotty Alder Entry Doors

TDL & Custom
Hardwood Door Series
The TDL “True Divided Lite” Series with Low-E Options
GlassCraft’s TDL “True Divided Lite” collection provides a selection of classic French doors and stylish
Prairie and Craftsman doors — all with beautiful and rich woodgrains. The TDL Series of mahogany and
knotty alder doors will complement a wide range of architectural styles. TDL doors in this catalog do
not use simulated divided lites. The TDL doors feature both double insulated, low emissivity “Low-E”
glass panels for security, strength, and energy efficiency and single glazzed double doors.
Doors feature laminated, engineered stiles and rails to
virtually eliminate warping. Door panels are constructed
using a 3-piece assembly that incorporates a “cross-grained”
spline in the core to eliminate panel splitting. Doors are
assembled using an authentic doweled cove-and-bead technique.

Transom Options
Transoms with decorative leaded glass, wrought iron grilles
and TDL’s are available in sash-set configurations only. Sashset
transoms provide for the glass panel to be first installed
into a wooden sash, which is then installed into the transom
frame. This allows the transom sash to align with the doors or
the sidelites below the transom.
Each transom is available in varying widths, depending upon
the door or door and sidelite configuration below the transom.
Transoms with wrought iron grilles installed are available
in two sizes: one which fits above a 36˝ door and two 14˝
sidelites, and the second which fits above two 36˝ doors.

GlassCraft custom doors units can be ordered as a pre-hung unit in both mahogany or knotty alder with
or without a transom unit. You can rely upon the design staff and craftsmen at GlassCraft Door Company

Warranty and Overhang Information
The exposure to environmental conditions is a dominant factor in a wood door’s lifespan. Not all applications
are appropriate for wood doors; wood doors require protection from environmental conditions
and must be installed in a protected opening with adequate roof overhang. The minimum roof overhang
needed is one in which the roof overhang projects out a distance from the structure no less than
one-half of the elevation difference between the bottom edge of the door and the base of the overhang’s
highest point above the entryway. For complete installation, finishing and maintenance requirements
for your wood door please read GlassCraft’s Guidelines for Your Hardwood Door.
