## FAQ

### Does cabinet glass need to be tempered?

Code usually does not require it. It is still worth doing on tall doors and doors people handle all day, and it is required when the door is in a hazardous location. We run both.

### Can you control reed direction?

Yes. Call out vertical or horizontal reed on the order and we cut to it, which matters on a run of doors.

### How do you price small parts?

By square footage with a minimum charge per piece, so batching a full kitchen's worth of lites prices far better than trickling them in.
