Door Axis 32 in x 80 in Half Lite Internal Blinds Steel Prehung Front Door with Brickmold
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The Door Axis Half Lite Internal Blinds Steel Prehung Front Door seals a tilting mini blind between the panes of its half lite glazing, so light control never involves dusting a slat. It serves front, side, and back entries that want daylight, privacy on demand, and the security of an insulated steel slab in one assembled unit.
The upper half of the slab carries a dual pane clear glass unit with mini blinds captured in the sealed cavity, operated by an integrated control to tilt for privacy without ever touching weather, grease, or dust. Below, the steel slab is built on wood-edge engineered interlocking stiles with grooves for structural rigidity, a reinforced lock block behind the double bore, and a rot-resistant composite bottom rail over the aluminum sill. Each unit ships fully assembled on a primed wood frame with three nickel-finish hinges, factory brickmold, and compression weatherstripping, in 32 and 36 in widths hung left- or right-hand inswing, with a smooth primed white face ready for field paint.

Installation Notes
- Verify the rough opening at 34.25 x 82 in for the 32 in unit or 38.25 x 82 in for the 36 in unit and check plumb, level, and square before setting.
- Set the sill in sealant over a sill pan and shim at hinge and strike points; a glazed slab must hang square so the blind cavity stays aligned.
- Fasten the hinge-side jamb into framing first, then set the strike side for an even reveal.
- Integrate the brickmold with housewrap and flashing tape and seal the exterior perimeter, keeping the sill weep path clear.
- Test the blind tilt control through its full travel after the unit is shimmed and fastened, before interior trim goes on.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the internal blinds raise or just tilt?
The sealed mini blinds tilt between open and closed for light and privacy control; because they live inside the glass cavity they stay clean and cannot tangle.
What happens if a blind fails?
The blind assembly is part of the sealed glazing unit, so service is handled at the glass unit level; coverage is confirmed during quote review.
Which sizes and handings are stocked?
Nominal 32 and 36 in widths at 80 in height, each hung left- or right-hand inswing on a 4-9/16 in jamb.
Is a lockset included?
No. The slab is double bored for a standard lockset and deadbolt, ordered separately so you can match your hardware finish.
