This program was developed to help installers and our customers more effectivly calculate the nominal unit sizes that Albany Door builds from, off the Tip-to-Tip Required unit size. To use this program effectively some information must be understood.

Standard Door widths are shown on the table to the right. If you require a single door width that is not listed you will need to call and order a custom slab. If you require a unit with sidelights or a transom, you do not need to worry about a custom slab. The program will ask you for a door nominal size, and then calculate the sidelight widths. If you require a transom on top the program will prompt for a nominal height. We find it easier to chop up sidelights than doors. The transoms are assumed to be rectangular. If you require an eliptical or half round, please call Albany Door. You will also need to know what type of sill the unit requires. Different Sills effect the height. A Z-sill High Dam will make a unit taller, while a handicap sill will make it lower. Albany Door's Standard is the Z-sill Low rise sill. Bronze and Brass finish sills, are mechanically the same as the Z-sill Low rise. If you enter a unit size that is not possilbe to make, an error message will appear at the end of the computations. It will Direct you on how to make somthing that will work. If you get the green message, Configuration O.K at the end, then all is well and you will only have to determine the styles and options from one of our catalogs. Notes: For a combination unit with sidelights: If the width is not a nominal 12 or 14 inches Albany will do the following. Steel: the Sidelights will have a nominal of what the computer calculates. Fiberglass: The Sidelights will be cut if less then 14 inches, or a spreadmull will be added if they are greater than 14 inches. Also note that spreadmulls top off at 5-1/2 inches, so fiberglass sidelights greater that 19.5 inches are not recommended please call Albany Door if you require sidelights wider than this. For units with Transoms: We can make most any size in any glass option as long as it is rectangular. irregular sized transoms are a possibility, but are beyond the scope of this program. Please call Albany Door if you require an irregular sized transom. Not all styles and types are available in all sizes! Happy Hunting
