Which way should an interior swing door open?

A swing door should open into the room it serves and away from traffic paths, so it does not block a hallway or collide with furniture. Crateworks builds left or right hand, in-swing or out-swing, to match your layout. You set the handing at order time.

Can the glass be frosted or clear?

Both. Clear glass keeps sightlines and light open; frosted or reeded glass adds privacy for a bathroom or office while still passing light. The glass spec is chosen per door.

Single or double doors?

Crateworks builds interior swing doors as a single panel or a matched double for wider openings. A double reads more formal and opens the full width; a single is simpler and needs less swing clearance. We size it to your opening.

A different category than a hollow-core slab

Most interior doors sold in the US are hollow-core: a thin MDF or veneer face over honeycomb cardboard, hung on stamped hinges. They warp in humidity, dent on impact, chip at the edges, and look like the cheapest finished element in the room. They exist to fill an opening, not to be part of the design.

A interior swing doors from Crateworks is a slim aluminum frame with glass or mirror infill, built to your opening, color-matched to the room, on hardware sized to carry the panel weight. Aluminum does not warp or rust, the finish does not need repainting, and the panel reads as architectural detail across the room rather than a closet front to hide.
