Divided Lites: simulated vs true divided

Divided lites are an essential design element in steel doors, adding architectural interest and enhancing visual structure by segmenting the glass with muntins or mullions. INICIO steel doors are available with both True Divided Lites (TDL) and Simulated Divided Lites (SDL), giving homeowners and designers flexible options to suit any aesthetic. TDL configurations use individual panes of glass separated by structurally independent steel mullions, offering a traditional, handcrafted appearance. In contrast, SDL designs simulate this look by applying mullions over a single large pane of glass, maintaining energy efficiency while delivering a clean, modern profile. Both options offer durability and design flexibility, making them ideal for modern, transitional, or classic architecture. Whether prioritizing authenticity or streamlined performance, INICIO's divided lite options enhance the beauty and character of custom steel doors.


Glass Divided Lites

The lites on a door refer to the piece of glass that is framed and separated by lines that form divisions, also called mullions. The divisions of the lites can be true divided or simulated divided.

True Divided Lites(TDL): The glass on the door is multiple pieces instead of one single pane. These pieces are separated by larger mullions going through them.

Simulated Divided Lites (SDL): Simulating divided glass, this is a large, single pane of glass with the mullions laid on top.


True Divided Lites - TDL

True Divided Lites

True Divided Lites (TDL) feature multiple individual panes of glass separated by structural mullions, creating a timeless and authentic look for steel doors. This construction enhances durability by allowing the mullions to stabilize each glass panel, while also making repairs and replacements easier since each lite is independent. With a mullion width of 1-5/8", TDL is ideal for traditional or high-end custom steel doors where structural integrity and design authenticity matter most.

  • Easily replaceable due to the separation of all of the pieces. Offers easy cleaning and replacement.
  • Due to mullions stabilizing the glass, this construction is stronger
  • Mullion width: 1-5.8"

Simulated Divided Lites - SDL

Simulated Divided Lites

>Simulated Divided Lites (SDL) offer the appearance of traditional divided glass using a single pane with applied mullions, making them the most budget-friendly option for steel doors. SDL provides the same visual charm as TDL but with thinner mullion widths—down to 3/4"—which is perfect for sleek, modern designs. This option delivers clean lines and visual depth while maintaining energy efficiency and minimizing production cost, making it a popular choice for contemporary steel door projects.

  • Most budget friendly
  • Provides design similar to true divided
  • Allows for mullions as small as 3/4"

LOCKING & HARDWARE


EUROPEAN MULTIPOINT LOCKING MECHANISM FOR ENHANCED SECURITY ON STEEL DOORS

INICIO steel doors are equipped with advanced European multipoint locking mechanisms, offering superior security, performance, and peace of mind. Unlike standard single-point locks, the multipoint system secures the door at multiple locations—typically at the top, middle, and bottom—ensuring a tighter seal and greater resistance against forced entry. This high-performance locking technology not only enhances protection but also improves energy efficiency by minimizing air infiltration. Engineered for durability and ease of use, our European multipoint locks are ideal for modern steel entry doors, providing a refined balance of safety, functionality, and European craftsmanship. For homeowners, architects, and builders seeking premium steel doors with advanced security features, INICIO’s locking systems deliver unmatched reliability and style.
