Active Sidelight for your Front Entry

An active sidelight allows homeowners to widen their door configuration from a single door to a sidelight that operates like a double door. If space is limited to a single door with one sidelight, the active sidelight will allow you to open and close it to function as another door allowing you to have a wider opening and to be able to move large items into the home. The hinges on the sidelight will allow the sidelight to be permanently fixed to open and close at will when the front door is open.

If you have a double door with two sidelights, you can also reconfigure your space to have one fixed sidelight and one active sidelight. The active sidelight provides about 15” of extra room and can be built into outswing or inswing pre-hung units.

The re-configuration to include an active sidelight will require a pre-hung unit (frame, threshold, door and all of the standard components) project. We offer Plastpro fiberglass doors, frames and components to help with this type of project.

Our process begins with you. We encourage you to browse through our FAQs to start. We have several resources including our free measure guides to help you to grab the easy measurements of your current door or rough opening so we can provide you with a free quote for your active sidelight!

Once we have your simple measurements, we are able to provide you with a free quote, and we can help guide through a design and glass size selection.

Our showrooms in Tampa and Lakeland display an array of glass inserts and door hardware from seven major manufacturers with standard-tempered and hurricane impact glass options. We provide an all-inclusive service from helping you choose the pre-hung door unit and glass insert that right for you, your privacy and style to installing it for you! Receive a free quote today!
