Astragal Measurements

Any set of two wood Screen Doors can become French Doors with the addition of an astragal! 

An astragal covers the gap between the two doors, which can help keep out insects and covers the gap between the doors, making your entrance more visually appealing. The astragal is attached to the active door and keeps the inactive door in place. 

How do I add the astragal measurement to the door width?

Our astragal is 1/2" thick where it attaches to the length of the door, and a 3/16" gap is configured with the "T" of the astragal at 1-5/16" wide. Overall, there would need to be a total of 11/16" space between the doors for the astragal to be included. 

Our astragal can be used for both inswing and outswing doors, as well as either the left or right door, so that it suits your specific needs. The astragal will not be attached before shipping, so that you can determine which is the inactive door. 

The astragal can be fabricated from any species of lumber we offer.
