Changing Single Door with Sidelights and Transom to 8-foot Double Door
Case 9010
Type: Doors with Sidelights, Doors with Transom, Double Doors
Area of Installation: Entryway
Location: Willowdale, Toronto
Door: SKU-10551
Some entries already have the width — they just need a different configuration to make better use of it.
This project started with a single front door and sidelights. The opening itself already had good proportions, so instead of rebuilding the whole entry, we focused on changing the layout and visual impact of the entry.
We replaced the original setup with an 8-foot double steel door with wrought iron glass, finished in factory white. For homeowners looking for a taller double door without going fully custom right away, this type of configuration is often a very good budget-friendly starting point.
From there, the look can always be upgraded depending on style and budget. Some homeowners choose:
- Executive panels for a more upscale appearance
- Painted finishes instead of factory white
- Different glass options, including stained glass or more private frosted styles
The wrought iron glass on this project gives the entry a more decorative, traditional character while still bringing natural light into the space.
The result is a taller, more substantial front entrance that makes better use of the existing opening without overcomplicating the design.

Reviews
I am using Window Man for many years and never had a chance to wright a review. Andrew is a real professional, every time he fulfilled his promises and compete the job with smile. Definitely will use his service for next project. Thank you Andrew.
Andrew is extremely professional, fast and efficient. He was accommodating with our very busy schedule. His work and service is second to none. Thank you, Andrew we could not be happier with our new doors.
I decided to give the Window Man a try when I found them online and read the great reviews! I was thrilled when Andrew said he could get my windows installed in just 3 weeks. Andrew and his team arrived exactly when they said they would and finished the job quickly and professionally! This is the 4th window company I've dealt with in 10 years and I can honestly say this is the first time I've had no issues! I will definitely be using them again.
I have used Andrew in the past and it was such a good experience that when I was renovating my Daughters new house we ordered all the windows and doors from him !! He was so patient with all the delays and so helpful with the decisions . I saw a bad review on here and couldn't believe it !! This must be a competitor !! In my experience there is no way Andrew would ever take a deposit and not show up !! It doesn't even make sense , that is the bad part of reviews ! I saved a bundle buying from Andrew and I got top quality work and if I could give a 10 I would !! Thank you Andrew.
Love our new door so much. After doing much research..price could not be beat. Andrew is very honest and takes his time to ensure a good job. Very happy.
Andrew and his crew replaced all of our 20 windows in 2 days. Very well priced. Quality work. Showed a lot of care to make sure that we were very satisfied. Thank you.
Window man was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond, from his suggestions and great communication skills.

Andrew recently replaced our side entrance door and I would highly recommend him for professionalism, honesty, reliable and also reasonably priced. The door was installed sooner than expected as well.
