All-Glass Doors and Entrance Systems North Bay, CA

Serving Sonoma, Napa, and Marin counties for 65+ years. B & L Glass designs, fabricates, and installs all-glass commercial doors, Herculite-style storefronts, and lobby vestibules for North Bay businesses — backed by major-brand patch fittings and pivots, in-house glazier crews, and 65+ years of wine-country commercial glazing. From a downtown Healdsburg 4-story hotel and entry to the multi-story mixed-use Napa Riverfront in downtown Napa, we handle measure, fabrication, ADA operating-force verification (CBC 11B-404), and install end to end. Uninterrupted sightlines. Light-filled lobbies. A first impression that matches the brand on the door.

Why All-Glass Doors and Entrance for North Bay Storefronts and Lobbies

An all-glass entry earns its place because it disappears. Light pushes deeper into the retail floor. Sightlines from the sidewalk into the boutique, from the lobby into the building, from the host stand into the dining room — all stay open. For a fitness studio, the workout is the marketing. For a tasting room, the wine on the back bar reads from the street. The architectural case is openness; the brand case is a clean, premium first impression at the door.

Functionally, tempered safety glass holds up to high-traffic commercial use without sacrificing transparency, and the no-frame profile ages quietly in design-forward spaces. Paired with the right hardware spec and ADA-compliant operating force, an all-glass door reads as a finished architectural statement — not a catalog component bolted onto a building.

All-Glass Door Configurations We Install

We install the full range of all-glass entry systems used across North Bay commercial work. A quick clarification first: all-glass means no perimeter frame — the door is supported by patch fittings and pivots, not aluminum extrusions. That's what separates it from a framed aluminum storefront door.

01

Single all-glass doors

top and bottom patch fittings, pivot operation, full-glass transom or header. The standard storefront, lobby, or conference room entry.

02

Pairs of all-glass doors

primary commercial entries and lobby vestibules where door width or code path calls for two leaves.

03

All-glass storefronts

door + sidelite + transom assemblies forming full Herculite-style entry walls.

04

Lobby vestibules and conference room entrances

single-leaf interior all-glass doors with patch fittings on the door and matching hardware throughout the vestibule.

05

All-glass railings paired with the entry

frameless, standoff, or base-shoe systems at vestibules, lobby stairs, and mezzanine overlooks.

06

Mechanical and electronic locking

deadlocks, electric strikes, and mag-locks for access-controlled and after-hours scenarios.

Hardware, Glass, and Finish Options

This is where an all-glass entry stops being a catalog product and starts being yours.

  • Patch fittings top patch, bottom patch, and corner patch families carry the door's structural load and sit flush against the glass with no perimeter frame. B & L draws from major-brand catalogs across multiple preferred hardware partners.
  • Pivots and closers concealed overhead pivots secure lighter interior doors, floor closers manage heavy-traffic primary entries requiring controlled close cycles, and automatic operators are available in both overhead and floor-mounted configurations.
  • Lock options mechanical deadlocks for standard entries, electric strikes for access-controlled openings, mag-locks for high-security or after-hours, and keyed cylinders. Access-control integration is straightforward when planned at the measure.
  • Push/pull hardware straight pulls, ladder pulls, and offset pulls across the partner finish families.
  • Glass type and thickness 1/2" or 3/4" tempered for most all-glass commercial entries, meeting ANSI Z97.1 and CPSC 16 CFR 1201 safety glazing.
  • Glass clarity standard clear for most jobs; low-iron (Starphire-style) for true-clear sightlines on premium retail and hospitality.
  • Hardware finishes brushed stainless, polished stainless, matte black, satin, and oil-rubbed bronze across the partner ranges.

Where We Install All-Glass Doors

All-glass entries travel across nearly every commercial project type B & L touches in the North Bay — storefronts and downtown corridors, retail boutiques, restaurants and front-of-house entries, lobby vestibules, conference room entrances, and fitness studios where visibility into the room is part of the marketing. Wine-country specifics fit naturally — tasting rooms, boutique hotels, and hospitality projects across Sonoma and Napa lean on the same Herculite-style entry. Luxury custom homes occasionally call for an all-glass entry vestibule or interior partition — we install those too. The moat sits in mid-rise mixed-use up to 4 stories — storefront entry below, residential above — a lane local commercial-glazing competitors and high-rise glaziers both leave open.

Our All-Glass Door Installation Process

01

Inquiry & Estimate.

Send opening size, single vs. pair, hardware and lock preferences, and ADA scope by text, email, or web request. We return a preliminary estimate.

02

Site Measure & Deposit.

Our team templates the opening on site — verifying rough opening, header and sill condition, floor flatness for pivots, threshold height, and ADA clearances. A 50% deposit is collected.

03

Order or Fabricate.

Tempered glass is cut to the template. Patch fittings, pivots, locks, and push/pull hardware are sourced from our preferred partners in your chosen finish.

04

Inspect & Schedule Install.

Tempered-glass safety inspection and hardware finish verification happen before the door leaves the shop, with appropriate ADA closers utilized and ordered per project specifications. Install is scheduled around your business hours.

05

Install & Final Payment.

The crew installs the door, re-verifies ADA operating force at the swing, and walks the finished work with you. Final balance is collected. Our "We Make It Right" guarantee anchors the handoff.

Why Choose B & L Glass for Your All-Glass Doors Systems

For 65+ years, B & L Glass has been the North Bay Glass Company businesses, designers, and architects trust for commercial glass entries that have to be square, code-clean, and beautiful enough to disappear into the architecture. We hold a 4.8★ Google rating and CSLB License #1058949, and our in-house glazier crews are employed, not subcontracted — the team that templates your opening is the team that installs the door. ADA operating-force verification is built into every commercial entry we install, not a checkbox we hope holds at the closer.

That track record is paired with depth across multiple preferred hardware partners — patch fittings, pivots, locks, and finish families that most local glaziers can't carry — plus a commercial scope that runs from a single lobby door up to four-story mixed-use buildings. Wine-country craftsmanship across Sonoma, Napa, and Marin, backed by the "We Make It Right" guarantee Jeff Rowland built the company on.

'Will be back for some more.

“He Saved Me Money Instead of Upselling”

I have nothing but great things to say about the gentleman that came to do the work at my Father's house. Our sliding glass door was jammed, we called around and were told by every other place I called that they don't repair them. That I would need a new one. I got a quote from Anderson's to replace the entire sliding glass door and 5 windows (glass and frames) and boy was that ridiculous over $30k. I called B & L to replace the sliding glass door and a couple of windows that were very foggy they came out and measured and asked why I wanted to replace the sliding glass door when they could just fix it. The gentleman could have tried to upsell me to replace the glass on all my windows and sliding glass door but he didn't. In fact he saved me money by telling me they didn't replace sliding glass doors. I could have ended up going with another company and replaced the sliding glass door but he said don't do that we can fix it. They Arrived right at 8 when they gave me a window 8-9 for measurements. That is refreshing! When it came time for install the gentlemen again arrived on time, they were very professional and did great work. Fixing our sliding glass door was no easy task my father and I tried to fix it our self but was rather complicated! So glad we reached out to B & L!

“Helped Me Find the Solution with a Smile”

Stacy from B & L was amazing to work with. I placed a small order with her and when I needed to change it, she jumped on the phone, caught production in time and helped me find the solution with a smile in her voice. As someone who has been in customer service myself, it's never a fun call to get to change an order last minute (I'm sorry, Stacy!). Stacy didn't skip a beat. As a result, I'm leaving our interaction with positive impression and will definitely work with her again in the future.

We are so glad we worked with a trusted local company for our new windows. It's a big investment but with Haley's help and expertise we made sure we had each window specification exactly on point for the needs of each room. She made sure the details were perfect. The installation team of Matthew, Jeremy and Trevor was a professional, well oiled machine! They worked hard and quickly - they also worked around my work from home schedule and make things happen quickly without a lot of disruption. We are thrilled with our new windows and just wish we'd made the leap sooner. Haley and the installation team did an amazing job!

“Great Service and Attitude”

Had a 3-sided neo-angle shower enclosure installed by B & L. Looked great except there was no door stop added. I didn't realize I needed one (they're optional) until a guest kept opening it inward, banging the door against the showerhead. Matt and Jake came out and installed one at no additional cost in under 10 minutes. Great service and attitude! Much appreciated, guys!

“Beautiful New Windows, Sparkling Clean”

This company is fantastic! We originally decided to call for a bid due to a broken garage window (it's baseball season). The representative that came out was friendly and helpful so we decided to ask about a cost to replace an ugly old yellow window as well. They listened to my ideas about what I wanted in place of the old window, and we decided to go ahead and replace it. When the day came for installation, the crew was on time and friendly. They told us they had allotted 4 hours for the job and they completed it in half that time. By the time they left I couldn't even tell they had been there except for the beautiful new windows. Everything was sparkling clean! We are so happy with our new window and glass replacement. I will absolutely call B & L for any future glass needs.

We'll walk the project, spec the right hardware and glass, and install it end-to-end — backed by 65+ years across Sonoma, Napa, and Marin and the "We Make It Right" guarantee. Commercial entries built to code. Luxury entry vestibules built to the view.

All-Glass Doors FAQs

What is an all-glass (Herculite) door?+

An all-glass door is a commercial entry with no perimeter frame, supported by top and bottom patch fittings and pivots and fabricated from 1/2" or 3/4" tempered glass. "Herculite" is a genericized brand term used industry-wide for this door type. The result is an uninterrupted glass plane at the entry.

Where are all-glass commercial doors typically used?+

All-glass doors anchor storefronts, lobby vestibules, conference room entrances, retail boutiques, restaurants, and fitness studios across the North Bay. They're the natural fit for wine-country tasting rooms and boutique hotels where the design has to read as open and premium from the sidewalk in. Single-leaf or pair configurations both apply.

What hardware and lock options are used on all-glass doors?+

Patch fittings from our preferred hardware partners carry the structural load, top and bottom pivots handle the swing, and locking options cover mechanical deadlocks, electric strikes for access-controlled openings, and mag-locks for high-security or after-hours scenarios. Push/pull hardware ranges from straight pulls to ladder pulls. Access-control integration is straightforward when planned at the site measure.

Are all-glass doors ADA compliant?+

Yes — B & L installs to California Building Code 11B-404: 5 lbf maximum operating force on interior doors, 8.5 lbf on exterior, 1/2" maximum threshold height, hardware mounted between 34" and 48" above the finished floor, and a single-action latch operable with one hand. Closer adjustment for operating force is a standard part of our install QA pass before final payment, so the entry passes inspection on day one.

 

How long does an all-glass door installation take from quote to finished install?+

A typical commercial all-glass door project runs 4–6 weeks from approved estimate to finished install — roughly one week for the site template, two to three weeks for tempered-glass fabrication and hardware sourcing, and one to two days for installation. Custom finishes or larger storefront assemblies extend the timeline.

Where can I find glass railing options instead?+
