NGP L-FRA100-12x12 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the NGP L-FRA100 lite kit fit a 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes, and only that thickness. The L-FRA100 low profile metal lite kit is built for 1-3/4 inch doors made within the door industry tolerance of +/- 1/16 inch. That covers the standard commercial door, but it will not work on a 1-3/8 inch door or a thicker custom leaf, so measure the leaf before ordering rather than assuming.
2) What glass thickness does the NGP low profile lite kit take?
The frame glazes 3/16, 1/4, or 5/16 inch glass. That range covers ordinary annealed and tempered lites and most 1/4 inch wire glass, but it rules out insulated units and thick laminated glazing, which are far over 5/16 inch. Order the glass cut to your opening separately, it is not part of the kit.
3) My door already has a vision lite cut in it. Can I retrofit the NGP L-FRA100 into the existing hole?
Yes, if the leaf is 1-3/4 inches thick and you order the kit to match the hole you already have. The frame clamps through the cutout with screws from both faces, so it goes into an existing prep without recutting the door. Measure the actual opening in the leaf, not the old frame, since the visible frame overlaps the cut. If the measured hole does not land on a stock size, the kit is available in uneven and fractional sizes to match.
4) Is the NGP L-FRA100 a steel lite kit or plastic, and how heavy is the gauge?
Steel. It is 18 gauge cold rolled steel with mitered and welded corners plus welded reinforcing clips at each corner. That is a different animal from the snap-together plastic or vinyl frames used on interior residential doors, and it is why this one goes into schools, hospitals, corridors, and warehouse openings where the door gets abused.
5) How does the NGP low profile lite kit mount, and are the screws included?
It fastens with #8 x 1-3/4 inch Phillips head sheet metal screws through counter-sunk holes in the frame, so the heads sit flush instead of proud of the trim. Two halves clamp the glass through the cutout from both faces of the door. If you need the fasteners to resist tampering on a public-facing opening, Torx security screws are an option in place of the standard Phillips.
6) Does the NGP L-FRA100 come finished, or do I have to paint it?
It ships in a gray primer powder coat, which is a paintable primer rather than a final color. On a job where the frames need to match a door color or a building standard, order the powder coat color option instead of field painting a primed frame.
7) What options should I specify when ordering an NGP lite kit for a hospital or a mechanical room?
Beyond the cutout size, the L-FRA100 can be ordered with powder coat color, Torx security screws, galvanneal A40 steel, zinc electro-plating, lead lining, or acoustical sealing. Galvanneal or zinc plating are the ones to call out for damp or corrosive locations such as pool corridors and exterior vestibules. Lead lining is the radiology and imaging suite specification. Acoustical sealing is for openings with a sound requirement. Decide these at the order, not on site.
8) Does the NGP lite kit include the glass?
No. The L-FRA100 is the metal frame and its mounting screws. You supply the glazing, cut to suit the frame and in a thickness of 3/16, 1/4, or 5/16 inch. Budget the glass and the cutting as a separate line when you price the job.
9) Can I standardize one NGP lite kit across every door in my building?
Only where the doors share a prep. The L-FRA100 is a single-thickness frame for 1-3/4 inch doors, so any leaf in the building at that thickness can take it, but each opening still needs the kit that matches its own cutout. Fleet-wide, that usually means picking one vision lite size for new preps, commonly 10 x 10 or 12 x 12 for a door light in a corridor, and a tall narrow size such as 6 x 24 or 8 x 32 for classroom and stair doors, then ordering the matching kit for each.
10) Is the NGP low profile lite kit rated for a commercial opening or is it a residential product?
Commercial. NGP classes the L-FRA100 as a commercial product, and the construction backs it up: 18 gauge cold rolled steel with welded corner clips rather than a light stamped or molded frame. It is specified in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential, and government work.
11) What does low profile mean on a metal lite kit, and when would I want it?
Low profile describes how far the frame stands off the door face. The L-FRA100 keeps that projection down so the trim sits close to the leaf instead of building up a deep picture-frame edge. That matters where the vision lite is near hardware or a stop, where a deep frame would catch carts and equipment in a corridor, and where the architect wants the glass to read flush with the door rather than framed out.
