Glass Doors NYC: Swing & Sliding

A glass door closes a room without darkening it. Where a solid door blocks a hallway or an interior room off from the only window in the apartment, a glass one keeps the daylight moving through — which is why they’ve replaced solid doors in so many NYC offices and open-plan homes.

Glass Factory fabricates and installs frameless swing and sliding glass doors across New York City — for apartments, offices, and storefronts. Every door is toughened safety glass, cut to the opening, and hung on hardware rated for the weight of the panel.

How Much Does a Glass Door Cost in NYC?

Our glass doors start at $699, including delivery and installation. What moves the number:

Door type — A single swing door prices differently than a sliding system or a double-door set.
Glass thickness — Heavier panels need thicker glass and hardware rated to match.
Hardware — Standard hinges and pulls versus premium CRL patch fittings, floor closers, and locking hardware.
Glass finish — Clear is the baseline; frosted, tinted, fluted, and printed glass are upgrades.
Opening size — Oversized and floor-to-ceiling doors cost more to fabricate and to install.
Site conditions — Out-of-square openings, ceiling-mounted tracks, and structural fixing all affect labor.

Types of Glass Doors

Swing Doors

Open in one direction on hinges or patch fittings. The most common interior door — simple, reliable, and suited to apartments and offices.

Pendulum (Double-Action) Doors

Swing in both directions and return to centre on their own, using a floor closer set into the floor. Standard in commercial spaces and high-traffic entries.

Sliding Doors

Slide on a track fixed to the wall or ceiling rather than swinging into the room — the practical choice where floor space is tight. No hinges: the panel is carried by rollers on the track.

Barn-Style Sliding Doors

Exposed track hardware mounted above the opening, with the panel sliding across the face of the wall.

Pocket Sliding Doors

The panel slides into a cavity in the wall and disappears completely when open.

Double Doors & Door Sets

Two panels meeting in the middle, with or without fixed side panels — used for wider openings and entrances.

Where Glass Doors Work

Apartments & Homes

Interior doors that keep a hallway or windowless room from going dark.

Offices & Meeting Rooms

Doors integrated into glass partitions and office walls, matched to the same system.

Storefronts & Retail Entrances

Commercial entry doors that take constant use, with floor closers and locking hardware.

Restaurants & Hospitality

Entrance and service doors, including double-action doors between front and back of house.

Closets & Wardrobes

Sliding panels in frosted or mirrored glass.

Room Dividers

Sliding doors within a partition system, so a space can be opened or closed as needed.

Glass & Hardware Options

Tempered glass (standard) — About four times stronger than annealed glass and breaks into small blunt pieces. The standard for any door panel.

Laminated glass — Holds together even when cracked and cuts sound transmission — specified for meeting rooms and street-facing doors.

Frosted & sandblasted — Privacy while daylight still passes through; can be full-panel or a band at eye level.

Fluted & textured — Obscures the view through while adding a designed surface.

Tinted & printed — Colored glass or custom printed designs and branding.

Hinges & patch fittings — Wall-mounted hinges or patch fittings that clamp the glass at the corners.

Floor closers — Set into the floor for pendulum and commercial doors, controlling the swing and closing speed.

Sliding track systems — Top-hung rollers on an exposed or concealed track, sized for the weight of the panel.

Handles, locks & pulls — From minimal pulls to full locking hardware for commercial entries.

How It Works

Free Measurement

We measure the opening, check whether it’s square and plumb, and confirm what the floor and ceiling can be fixed into.

Specification

Door type, glass thickness and finish, hardware, and locking are confirmed against how the door will actually be used.

Fabrication

The panel is cut to the opening, hardware cut-outs are made, edges are polished, and the glass is toughened.

Installation & Adjustment

Our installers hang the door, fit the hardware, and adjust the closing action so it sits and swings correctly before we leave.

Built for New York Buildings

Openings in New York buildings are rarely square, and a glass door has no frame to hide behind — every millimetre of gap shows. That’s why we measure the opening rather than trusting the drawing, and why the hardware is chosen for the panel weight rather than picked from a catalogue default. In apartment and office buildings we handle the access side too: COI documentation, freight-elevator booking, and installation timed to when the building allows work.

FAQ

What’s the difference between swing, pendulum, and sliding glass doors?

Swing doors open in one direction and are the most common choice for apartments and offices. Pendulum doors move in both directions and return to center on a floor sensor, while sliding doors glide along a wall- or floor-mounted rail to save space. The right type depends on your layout and how much clearance you have.

Are glass doors safe and strong enough for daily use?

Yes. Our glass doors use tempered safety glass, which is heat-treated for strength and breaks into small blunt pieces rather than sharp shards if it ever fails. Paired with quality CRL hardware, they’re built to handle constant use in homes, offices, and storefronts. We match the glass thickness and hardware to how hard the door will work.

Can sliding glass doors save space in a small apartment?

Yes. Because a sliding door glides along a rail instead of swinging open, it frees up the floor space a swing door would need for its arc. That makes it ideal for compact NYC rooms, closets, and tight entries. We size and configure the system to fit the opening precisely.

How much do glass doors cost?

Our glass doors start from $699 including delivery and installation. Final pricing depends on the door type, glass thickness, hardware finish, and the complexity of the opening. Contact us for a free estimate based on your specific project.

Do you install glass doors throughout NYC?

Yes. We design, fabricate, and install swing and sliding glass doors across Manhattan and the surrounding boroughs for homes, offices, and storefronts. Our team measures each opening for a precise fit. Call 646-854-7674 for a free estimate.
