Custom Shutters for Doors, Sidelights, and Glass Entries

Door shutters give glass entries and patio doors privacy, light control, and a built-in look while preserving the daily function of the door.

Door shutters require more than a standard window layout. The design must account for handles, knobs, hinges, glass stops, door swing, louver clearance, and how the door is used every day.

Shenandoah door applications include French doors, sidelights, front entry glass, and sliding glass doors. Each is planned around the specific door style so the shutter looks fitted instead of improvised.

Hardware clearance

Layouts are planned around handles, knobs, hinges, and locks so the door remains usable.

Privacy at entries

Adjustable louvers give glass doors privacy without replacing the door or adding fabric panels.

Custom shadowboxes

Door and sidelight applications can use fitted shadowbox-style frames for a clean built-in appearance.
