All details are for interior applications
unless otherwise noted.
When both lites and louvers are
required in a nonlabeled door, the
same bead details should be used to
achieve a uniform appearance.
Bead widths will vary depending on the
glass thickness or louver thickness
used. The standard allowance for glass
is 
1⁄4. Glass can vary 1/16.
Flush doors with the following
hardware, lite and/or louver conditions
are NOT warranted. (Exception: Special
construction full glass doors are
warranted.) 
1. Cutouts for lites and/or louvers, anyedge of which is less than 5 from
any edge of the door.
2. Less than 5 between adjacent
cutouts for hardware, lites, or
louvers.
3. Cutout areas exceeding 40% of the door’s surface or individual cutouts
exceeding 54 in height.

You do have a choice. You don’t
need to specify metal vision panels in
wood fire doors. You can specify
veneered beads that will be compatible
with the veneer on the face of the door.
Wood beads can also be field or
factory finished using the same
materials as those used on door faces.
A better value. Inaddition to the
aesthetic appeal of wood, veneered
beads will generally cost less than a
metal vision panel after normal
finishing of the primed vision panel to
match the metal door frame.Available in:
• Natural Birch
• Cherry
• Mahogany
• Red Oak
• White Oak
• Walnut
Other species by special order.
