Frameless glass doors, made and fitted across Delhi NCR
A frameless door is a single sheet of 12mm toughened glass held at the corners by patch fittings, swinging on a floor spring. There is no frame around the leaf at all. It is the entrance every showroom wants, and the one job where nothing can be adjusted after the glass is made.
Where frameless glass goes
The glass is toughened, which means every hole, cut-out and polished edge is done before the toughening furnace. Once it comes out you cannot drill it, cut it or shave a millimetre off. That is why we measure the opening ourselves.
Showroom and shop entrances
A single or double leaf with a floor spring, so the door swings both ways and closes itself at a set speed. Usually with a fixed side panel and an over panel above, all in the same glass, so the whole entrance reads as one sheet.
- Glass
- 12mm toughened, clear or tinted
- Closer
- Floor spring with hold-open at 90°
- Best for
- Showrooms, shops, restaurants, banks
Office and reception doors
Frameless leaves inside a glass partition run, so the door disappears into the wall when it is shut. Patch lock into the floor, or a mortice lock in the bottom patch where you need to lock up at night.
- Fittings
- Top and bottom patches, SS finish
- Lock
- Patch lock to floor, or mortice in bottom patch
- Best for
- Reception, meeting rooms, MD cabins
Clinic and consulting rooms
Frosted or acid-etched glass rather than clear, so you get the light without the sightline. Frameless is easier to keep clean than a framed door, which is usually the reason clinics ask for it in the first place.
- Glass
- 12mm frosted, etched or film-applied
- Detail
- No frame rebate to collect dust
- Best for
- Clinics, labs, salons, consulting rooms
Frameless partitions and screens
Fixed panels rather than doors: shower screens, counter screens, stair balustrade infills, and the glass wall a frameless door sits inside. Same glass, same edge work, held in a slim channel or on stand-offs.
- Fixing
- Floor channel, or stand-off buttons
- Edges
- Polished on every exposed edge
- Best for
- Screens, showers, counters, infill panels
For a glass wall to hang the door in, see glass partitions. Where you want an aluminium frame around the leaf, that is cheaper and lives on aluminium doors.
The parts you are actually paying for
The floor spring
This is the component that decides whether the door still shuts properly in three years. It sits in a pocket cut into the floor, carries the leaf weight and controls the closing speed and the final latch. A cheap one starts leaking oil and the door begins to drift. It is not the place to save two thousand rupees.
Patch fittings
The stainless plates that clamp the glass at top and bottom. They are what the whole leaf hangs from, so we quote them by make. Thin plated fittings pit and stain within a couple of monsoons, especially near an open shopfront.
The floor pocket
The floor spring needs a recess cut into the slab before the flooring goes down. If the marble or tiling is already laid, that pocket has to be cut through it, which is messy and visible. Tell us at measurement whether the floor is finished.
Everything is pre-toughened
Holes for the patches, the lock cut-out, the handle centres and every polished edge are done before the glass is toughened. Nothing can be altered afterwards. A 5mm error in the opening means a new sheet, not an adjustment, which is why we do not work off numbers sent over the phone.
What it costs
Quoted on measurement
Frameless work is priced per leaf and per panel rather than by a single sq ft rate, because the hardware is a large share of the cost and it varies with the door size and use. A standard single showroom leaf with a floor spring, patches and handles is a straightforward figure we can give you within a day of measuring.
Send sizes for a firm rate →What moves the number
GST extra. Every fitting is quoted by name so you can compare quotes properly.

Measurement
We measure the opening, check the floor level across it and confirm what the head fixing goes into. On a finished floor we also work out where the floor spring pocket can be cut with the least damage.
Glass to size
Cut, edges polished, patch holes and lock cut-outs drilled, then toughened. Ten to fourteen working days, and none of it can be changed after the furnace, which is why the measurement stage matters as much as it does.
Fitting
Floor spring set and levelled in its pocket, glass lifted in with the patches, handles and lock fitted, then the closing speed and the latch action adjusted with you standing there until it shuts the way you want.
Questions we get on every frameless toughened glass job
What glass thickness is used for a frameless door?
12mm toughened for a door leaf, as standard. 10mm is acceptable on a small internal leaf. Fixed screens and side panels can be 10mm or 12mm depending on the panel size. Anything thinner is not safe at door size.
How much does a frameless glass door cost?
It is quoted per leaf rather than at a flat sq ft rate, because the floor spring, patch fittings and lock are a large share of the cost and they change with the door size and how hard it will be used. Send the opening size and we give you a figure within a day of measuring.
Does the floor have to be cut for a floor spring?
Yes. The spring sits in a recess in the slab. Ideally that pocket is cut before the flooring is laid. If the marble or tiling is already down we can still cut it, but the patch around it will be visible, so tell us at measurement which stage the floor is at.
Can a frameless glass door be locked?
Yes. Either a patch lock that shoots a bolt down into a floor socket, or a mortice lock housed in the bottom patch fitting for a keyed lock. Both work on a double leaf as well, with the passive leaf bolted top and bottom.
What happens if the measurement is wrong?
The sheet has to be remade. Toughened glass cannot be cut, drilled or trimmed after toughening, so a 5mm error is a new panel and another ten days. That is exactly why we measure the opening ourselves rather than working from sizes over the phone.
How long does it take?
Ten to fourteen working days from measurement, most of which is glass processing and toughening. Fitting itself is usually half a day for a single leaf, longer if a floor pocket has to be cut.

Send the opening. We will measure and price it.
A photograph of the opening with a rough width and height is enough to start. Measurement is free anywhere in NCR, and we will tell you whether the floor is ready for a floor spring or not.
