“I am extremely happy with the service and product I received. The Signature Glass team came out to install new enclosed blind windows in my front entryway. They are absolute professionals, polite, friendly, and worked incredibly fast. The quality of the installation is top-notch, and the pricing was very fair. If you are looking for reliable service, I definitely recommend this team!”

“Of the companies I contacted, only Greg responded promptly, with mock-ups of our new door insert based on our existing door. Scheduling was precise and convenient. The installation was professional and the cleanup was top notch. My wife and I are blown away with the transformation. The dark foyer we lived with for 10 years is now a bright entrance, and the curb appeal has doubled. Thanks Greg and the entire Signature team!”

The team offered a wide variety of glass designs and styles to choose from, making it easy to find the perfect look for our home. The installation was completed efficiently and with great attention to detail. Our new front door glass has completely transformed the appearance of our home’s entrance. We highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality products, professional service, and excellent value.”

Door cutting FAQs

Door Cutting FAQs

Can any solid door have glass cut into it?

Most solid steel and fibreglass entry doors can have a new glass opening cut into them. Send us a photo of your door and we will let you know.

Will cutting the door weaken it?

Cut and framed properly, the door stays solid and secure. We size and finish the opening so the door keeps its strength and seals well.

Can you cut steel and fibreglass doors?

Yes. Steel and fibreglass are the most common entry doors, and we cut clean new openings into them.

Do I need to buy a new door?

No. You keep your existing door and we add a glass insert to it, for a fraction of the cost of a new front door.

What glass can go in my door after it is cut?

Any of our inserts: stained glass, wrought iron, frosted or blinds between the glass. We help you pick a design that suits your home.

How much does door cutting cost?

It depends on the size of the opening and the glass you choose. Send us a photo and your door details for a free quote.
