Door Axis 36 in x 80 in Switchable Privacy Glass Full Lite Fiberglass Prehung Front Door
Reviewed pricing, lead time, freight, and final configuration are confirmed during quote review before order release.
The Door Axis Switchable Privacy Glass Full Lite Fiberglass Prehung Front Door carries a floor-to-header pane that flips from frosted privacy to clear glass at the press of a button or a voice command. It serves entries that want maximum daylight without living behind a curtain, backed by an impact-protective laminated glass package and a paint-ready fiberglass slab.
The full lite is direct glazed into the slab with no lite frame or plug caps, giving the door a clean modern face, and the switchable film is sealed between Low-E laminated panes that stay frosted with the power off and turn clear on demand. The laminated assembly adds security and impact protection over ordinary tempered units while the Low-E coating and high density polyurethane foam core keep the opening efficient, with ENERGY STAR qualified construction. Power comes from included rechargeable batteries or a plug-in supply, control runs by button, app, or leading voice assistant platforms over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi with no hub required, and the kit ships with two batteries, a control box, charger, and cords. The unit hangs on a rot-proof PVC composite jamb with zinc ball bearing hinges, a composite adjustable threshold, compression weatherstripping, and a 16 in wood lock block behind the double bore.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the switchable glass work?
An electronic film laminated between the panes aligns when powered, turning the glass clear; with power off it rests frosted for privacy. Switching runs from the button, the app, or voice assistants over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, with no hub required.
What happens if the batteries die?
The glass simply rests in its frosted privacy state and the door keeps working as a normal insulated entry. Recharge either included battery or run the plug-in supply to restore switching.
Is the glass secure?
The lite is a laminated Low-E assembly, so the glass holds together under impact like a windshield rather than shattering clear of the opening, and the double bore sits over a 16 in wood lock block.
Can I paint the door?
Yes. The smooth fiberglass face ships unfinished and takes standard exterior paint; the PVC composite jamb paints to match your trim.
