Hardware & Lites

Add Your Own Finishing Touches

Special-Lite manufactures a variety of hardware, vision lite and door accessory options to add more style, security or functionality to your entrance. We can factory install all hardware, lites and accessories, or just prep the door for field installation. When factory installed, the installation is warranted against coming loose from the door for the entire 10 year warranty period. Hardware, accessories and lite kits are available in a wide variety of available anodized and painted finishes. Contact your sales representative or the factory for details.

Removable Mullion

The Special-Lite® Removable Mullion can be quickly removed to allow oversize objects to pass through double doors with ease. Use the SL-60E Removable Mullion for easy electrical hookup for security systems or ADA-compliant hardware. The SL-60, a non-electrical version, is also available. Both versions are available keyed or non-keyed.


Recessed Door Pulls

Special-Lite manufactures a line of Recessed Door Pulls that are ideal for doors adjacent to active areas like foyers, lobbies, and gymnasiums, where the absence of any projections above the door surface improves safety.  And since there’s no way to wrap a chain or rope around these pulls, they also help protect against vandalism and forced entry.

The SL-82 and SL-86 Recessed Pulls are for flush doors.  The SL-84 and SL-88 are an integral part of the mid panels available in our monumental doors.  The SL-86 and SL-88 are specifically designed to facilitate cleaning and sterilization.


Surface-Mount Door Pull

The SL-100 Surface-Mounted Door Pull is available in our selection of anodized finishes to precisely match Special-Lite® Doors and Framing.  It’s also available with and optional cylinder hole when used with an exit device.


Push Bar

We offer the SL-150 Gooseneck Fluted Push Bar in our standard and optional anodized finishes to match doors and framing.


Louvers

We custom-manufacture louvers to specification for mounting in doors, transoms, and side lites.  Our louver units utilize an inverted “Y”-type fixed vane.  For added security and aesthetics, vanes are secured by rivets around the outside of the frame, inaccessible and hidden from view.  Insect screens are also available.  Louvers are available in any of our anodized finishes, or any paint color.


Security Grate

The SL-SG349 Security Grate incorporates a strong 1" x 1" x1/8" steel angle frame perimeter and sturdy metal mesh to provide additional security for doors that are subjected to abuse or vandalism.  The security grate can be used over vision lites, bi-fold units, louvers or other areas where a high level of protection is required.  Security Grates can be painted to match the door finish or any of our available colors, or any custom color.


Vandal Screen

The SL-SG350 Vandal Screen is designed for applications that require a combination of moderate security, excellent visibility, and the convenience of easy removal for glass cleaning. The frame if the vandal screen is manufactured of anodized or painted aluminum and screws into the FL-Series Vision Lite Kit with self-retaining, tamper-proof pin-torx fasteners.  The matte black powder coated stainless steel, round-hole mesh screen has 63% open area to maximize vision. Our Vandal Screen is compatible with both 1/4" and 1" glazing, and can be custom-fabricated for curves and angle corners for improved design flexibility.

Vision Lites


FL-Series

Rectangular vision lites for FRP, AMP and aluminum flush doors are glazed with screw-applied aluminum stops that can be anodized or painted to match door edges. Vision lites can be factory glazed with 1/4" or 1/2" tempered glass, or 1" insulated glass.

FL-Series (EPDM)
Curved vision lites are available for all of our flush doors, custom-manufactured and factory glazed using an EPDM gasket system to meet specific architectural requirements. Either 1/4" tempered or 1" insulated glass can be specified. Doors are complete and ready to install when delivered to the job site.


CL-Series Colonial

The CL-Series vision lites are specifically designed for our SL-18 Colonial 6-Panel AMP Door and are fabricated from aluminum extrusions to match the sizes of the panels in the door.  Lites can be specified for any or all of the six panel positions, and can be glazed with 1/4" and 1" glass.  9-lite units that replace the top four panels are fabricated using our FL-Series kit with surface applied muntins.
