Frequently Asked Questions
What does "50/50 half split" mean?
A 50/50 half split door is divided horizontally into two equal halves. The top half features a large glass opening and the bottom half is a solid raised and fielded panel. Unlike a stable door, both halves are fixed together and operate as a single door unit — they do not open independently.
What versions of this door are available?
This design is available in three configurations:
What is the difference between this door and the stable door version?
Both doors share the same 50/50 split design — glass top, solid panel bottom. The difference is how they operate: this door’s two halves are joined and open as a single unit. The stable door version allows the top and bottom halves to open independently, making it ideal for ventilation or allowing pets through while keeping the bottom closed.

No. The door is supplied without glass. This allows you to specify your preferred glazing — clear, frosted, tinted, laminated, or safety glass — from your local glazier after the door is installed.
Is this door supplied with a frame?
