I have not been able to find such a product in the catalogs of manufacturers usually identified. Any suggestions of manufacturer and product? George A.

C R Laurence might be able to make up something... George A.

I checked CRL and found no packaged "transaction window" for a flush steel door. I guess components could be assembled. A typical glazed lite could be modified with CRL components. Afterall, they make everything from shower enclosures, automotive/RV windows and display case components. It's another example where the wizardry of spec writing is being called upon to solve a partially-defined problem.

I am going to save this problem for last. Perhaps there will be plancheck comments regarding fire-rating and accessiblity, neither of which the design presently addresses.

Last week we changed glazing on an opening from glass to 3form. I noted that the opening was rated, so 3form couldn't be used; apparently, the opening had been changed to non-rated, but the opening schedule had not been updated. It's always good to ask if an opening is rated before making changes.
