Which glass door insert is right for you?
Every style lets in daylight. The difference is how much privacy you want and the look you are going for.
| Collection | Privacy | Light | Look |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stained glass | Varies by design, textured glass blurs the view | Bright | Classic leaded and beveled to clean modern |
| Wrought iron | High, the back pane is sandblasted | Soft | Bold ironwork, a statement entrance |
| Frosted & sandblasted | Medium to full privacy | Soft and even | Simple and clean, from subtle bands to full privacy |
| Door blinds | You choose, tilt open or closed | Adjustable | Blinds sealed inside the glass, in 6 colours |
How do door glass inserts work?
A glass door insert, or door lite, is the glass unit set into your door along with the frame that holds it. Replacing the insert is the easiest way to change the look of your entry, add privacy, or fix foggy or broken glass, without replacing the door itself.
Inserts for front, entry and exterior doors
Our front door glass inserts fit standard steel and fibreglass entry doors in full lite, three-quarter lite and half lite sizes. Whether it is a front door, a side entry or a back door, we measure and fit the insert for a clean, sealed finish.
Replacement door glass inserts
Door window replacement almost always means swapping the insert, not the whole door. We remove the old glass, fit the new insert and seal it, all in one visit. See door glass replacement for how it works, or door glass repair if your glass is broken.
What Customers Say
Reviews from Ottawa homeowners
“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.”

Glass door insert FAQs
What sizes do glass door inserts come in?
Full lite, three-quarter lite and half lite are the most common sizes for front and entry doors, most often 22 x 64, 22 x 48 and 22 x 36 inches. Send us a photo and we will confirm your size.
Can I replace just the glass insert in my door?
Yes. The insert sits in its own frame, so we can take it out and fit a new one without replacing the door. You keep your door, frame and hardware.
Can you add a glass insert to a solid door?
Yes. If your door has no glass, we can cut a clean opening and fit a new insert. We call this door cutting.
How long does it take to install a door glass insert?
Once your insert arrives, the install is done in one visit, usually in under two hours. We remove the old glass, fit and seal the new insert, and clean up before we leave.
Which glass door insert gives the most privacy?
Frosted and sandblasted designs and wrought iron, which has a sandblasted back pane, give the most privacy. Door blinds let you choose: tilt them open for light or closed for full privacy. Each collection page shows a privacy rating for every design.
How much does a glass door insert cost?
It depends on the size and the design you choose. Send us a photo of your door for a free, no-obligation quote.
