ENTRANCES
Standard Narrow Stile 1-3/4" x 2-1/8" Door with 10" Bottom Rail; 0A Clear Anodized Finish; 1/4" Glass
STANDARD ENTRANCES Our Narrow Stile Doors are designed for light to medium use in commercial and retail applications. Standard doors have exterior installation of glass or panels, with 2-1/8" width stiles and top rails, and the option of 4", 7-1/2" or 10" bottom rails for ADA compliance. The smooth design of Tubelite’s door hardware features a convenient pull handle and push bar with lock location 36” above the finished floor. Stock doors and frames are anodized with clear or dark bronze finishes, and readily available for quick delivery.
DURABLE TIE-ROD CONSTRUCTION The strength and flexibility of steel tie-rod construction is what holds it all together and makes our doors endure. Tie-rod assembly is as durable as welded corner construction, but superior in many ways. Tubelite doors can be modified, disassembled or resized right in the field. No other door offers you this much strength and flexibility.
Adjustable astragal assembly. Narrow meeting stile.
WE LISTEN Members of our management staff personally visit our glazing contractor clients regularly. We learn what works and what doesn’t — from their perspective, not ours. The result is solutions that work — solutions tailored for the field — so jobs get done right the first time.

Snap-in glass stops provide for 1” glazing thicknesses.

Standard deadbolt locks, and concealed vertical rod or rim panic exit devices may also be selected. Standard pull handles have been designed for ADA access and have matching push bars. The Tubelite Thermal Door frame has snap-in door stops to conceal frame anchors and provide an excellent weatherseal.

T14000 SERIES I/O STOREFRONT The I/O means more design options! Glass or panels can be positioned to the inboard (I) or outboard (O) side of the 4-1/2" depth frame to achieve the look you imagine. Typical glass thickness is 1", and can be installed from the outside or inside of the building. Special glazing pocket reducers allow the use of 1/4" infill thicknesses too. 14000 I/O Series thermal barrier insulates exterior surfaces from the interior to minimize temperature transfer. This provides industry accepted performance for CRF (condensation resistance) and Uc (conduction). Using the same design, assembly, and accessories as the 14000 center glazed system allows combining inboard, outboard and center planes of glass in the same elevation, with the same great performance.

T14650 SERIES STOREFRONT A new look for a timeless design. 14650 Series has the same design, assembly, and accessories as the 14000 center glazed system’s 2" face with a 6-1/2" depth. This additional 2" depth on the interior side of the frame provides greater structural properties and allows taller first floor openings. The wider profile also cuts a distinctive image for a storefront that stands out from the crowd. 14650 Series provides industry accepted performance for CRF (condensation resistance) and Uc (conduction), using the same thermal barrier as the 14000 and 14000 I/O systems. 14650 Series Storefront, 0A Clear Anodized; Owner: HH Gregg/Fine Lines Appliances, Columbus, OH; Architect: Herschman; General Contractor: Corna Kokosing; Tubelite Dealer: Richardson Glass

VERSATHERM ™ FRAMING VersaTherm is our most versatile and economical framing system. The flexible design allows for on-site fabrication in applications ranging from punched openings to mall fronts. VersaTherm is available in a large selection of profiles. Snap-on covers and backmembers, available in a variety of colors, allow for contrasting interior and exterior finishes. Finish options and glass positioning from frame exterior to center meet a wide range of aesthetic requirements. Snap-on covers and back members are “locked” together by a unique thermal barrier clip. This clip ensures that interior and exterior metal members remain separate while firmly connected, virtually eliminating the transference of frost and condensation. High performance verticals, and compatibility with Tubelite Stock Doors create a complete and truly versatile system.
