Doors with Built-In Mini Blinds
Convenient light control with no dusting, no cords, and no hassle

Doors with built-in mini blinds feature aluminum blind slats sealed between the inner and outer glass panes of the door's glass insert. The blinds are adjusted using a small control mechanism at the edge of the glass — typically a slider or dial — that tilts the slats open or closed and raises or lowers the blind stack. The entire assembly is permanently enclosed within the glass unit, which means the blinds are completely protected from dust, pet hair, curious children, and accidental damage.
The practical benefits are significant. Traditional blinds on doors must be dusted regularly, tend to catch on door handles and hardware, and — in the case of corded blinds — present a safety concern in homes with young children. Built-in mini blind doors eliminate all of these issues entirely.
These doors are particularly popular for patio doors, back entry doors, and any door where light control and privacy are important but traditional window coverings are inconvenient or impractical. They're also an excellent choice for front entry doors with large glass inserts where privacy from the street is desired.
Protected between two panes of tempered glass for enhanced safety and performance, internal blinds are a kid- and pet-friendly choice.
You control the level of light and privacy with a simple handle1that opens, closes and tilts the blinds. Built-in privacy bars2eliminate visibility into or out of your home, while helping to reduce sun glare.
Choose Low-E glass for maximum energy efficiency or standard clear glass.
