ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a primary door with window lights in the extreme upper portion. Optionally, the door can use a lowering window or a lowering screen self stored interiorly in a frame defined by the window track and the screen track and a lower stop in the upper half of the door. Thus the door can have a window, or a screen, or indeed can be left wide open for ventilation without diminishing the privacy afforded by the door since entire screen/window assembly is a plane well within the upper half of the door. In addition, replaceable decorative covers, such as muttons, are optionally on the outside and the inside of the door over the window area. The method relates to forming a door frame with a window opening defined by a frame and a cavity in the upper half of the door which contain the elements of vertical tracks for engaging the window and screen in a perpendicular horizontal stop for defining a frame for the window/screen assembly well within the upper half of the door. Optionally the door is formed as an inner and outer half, two halves being press-fittingly or otherwise secured to each other. Thereafter, the window and screen are inserted, and then decorative muttons or other coverings optionally applied.
