He showed me some other doors in the house and he ended up ordering those. And what we did is we put a blind between the glass on those. So we took a full view door and we put a raise, lower, tilt blind in it.

So his daughter can drop the blind, have privacy. She can tilt it up to filter some of the sun out and then close it all together. So she can have her privacy here. It's all magnetically switched by this switch right here.

So here's another door we did for a customer. They had an old house and they wanted a side door, but they wanted privacy in it. So what we did is we put a half piece of glass in here. And this is a 7-0 door, so you can see it's much taller than a normal door. But we put the blinds between the glass, but they wanted grids on it because they had grids on all their windows. So we put the blinds between the glass, magnetically switched again. We used an energy-efficient low-E piece of glass. And then we put the grids between the glass also.
