Ed[/quote] That would look as rough as guts [/quote] Sorry, totally disagree - it's what they do on double entry doors as standard. What is your solution? Ed[/quote] On double entry doors they use a mushroom stop "T" shape which is alot stronger than a tacked on "D" molding and its not on the hinged side. Solution would be to buy a frame and fit the 4x one lites into it but i would still put a rebated stile on eash side, 1 to attach the hinges to and 2 so as you have something descent to attach the side light to. you can buy pre-fab stiles in kdhw and meranti all you need to do is cut to length take a small rebate out of the sill and head and screw together. I quite often fit new entry systems with "lose" sidelights, it would be identical to buying one from the manufacturer except you may save your self some dollars, but just not time.

Ben That's what I said... mushroom stop, not D mould. Plus manufactured door frame. Just like the real thing....
