Ready to install some windows.

I want a small round window in the door.

Any recommendations?

I made my own. I had tempered, tinted glass cut at the local glass shop and got the rubber from a street rod shop. I would have preferred vented but couldn't find anything out there in the size I wantedImageImage

Here's a couple on Amazon I looked at:

My round ones are boat portholes I picked up from a 2nd hand boat parts dealer.

Operable?, w/tempered glass? There are some with ABS plastic frames, locking knobs, lock rings (says "click in installation), and tempered glass on Amazon for cheap, if that might be an option. I like this 10" diameter unit, in black (matches my trailer) if ever I choose to put 'em in my plywood doors.

Thanks.... I saw those also. Hoped for Vented too.

Question: They say 1/8 or 1.5 inch. My door is 3/4 Inch.

Will it work?

I would cut a duplicate locking-ring backing plate from 3/4 plywood. 3/4"+3/4'=1.5" It will firm up any wiggle room there might be, also, IMHO. Good to go.

Resurrecting an old thread, but does anyone know if those portholes can be installed to open inwards?
