Bus door glass, cut and printed for door hardware

Door glass is its own job. Tight radii, hardware holes, and a frame that will not forgive 1/16". We cut the lites on the CNC, print the border, and temper them marked and ready to glaze.

DXF, DWG, PDF, a dimensioned sketch, or a photo of the part. We check holes and edge distances against the tempering limits before we price it, so the number is for a part we can actually make.

FAQ

Questions we get about bus door glass

Missing something? Call the shop. You will reach someone who has run the furnace.

How tight a radius can you cut?

Tight enough for typical door corner profiles, but radius interacts with thickness and tempering. Send the profile and we'll confirm before you tool the frame.
