# 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.

Group: Vehicle glass (DOT)

## Part families

- **Folding door lites**: Narrow tall lites with tight corner radii for bi-fold door leaves.
- **Slide-glide door glass**: Shaped lites cut to the frame profile with notches for the carrier.
- **Drilled hardware lites**: Holes and countersinks for latch and guide hardware, cut before tempering.
- **Printed borders**: Frit bands to hide gaskets and frames plus DOT legend and branding.

## What we handle here

- **DOT-approved vehicle glazing** Marked and documented automotive and recreational vehicle glass, including the legend for that opening.
- **Large-format CNC cutting** Shapes, notches and radii cut from your DXF or DWG on lites up to 90" × 144".
- **Ceramic frit screen printing** Borders, blackout bands, logos and legends fired into the glass during tempering. Permanent.
- **Drilling and edgework in-house** Holes, countersinks, and seamed, ground, or polished edges, finished here before the glass ships.

## FAQ

### 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.

### Can holes go close to the edge?

There's a minimum edge distance for temperable holes. We check every hole schedule against it and tell you if a location needs to move.

### Do you supply matched sets per door?

Yes. Kitted and racked by door position, so the assembler is not sorting through a pile of lites.
