Patch fittings are minimalist hardware components used in frameless glass door assemblies. Their primary purpose is to provide the necessary connection points and structural support that a bulky frame traditionally provides, while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

FAQs
Patch fittings are specifically designed for the toughened, frameless glass door market to minimise visible hardware and maximise the glass aesthetic.
The type of door they are used on primarily relates to the door's operation and assembly:
1. Frameless Swing/Pivot Doors (Most Common Use)
This is the primary and most frequent application for traditional patch fittings.
- Single-Action Doors: Doors that only swing in one direction (inward or outward).
- Double-Action Doors (Bi-Directional): Doors that swing both inward and outward (common in commercial entrances).
2. Frameless Glass Entrance Systems
- Patch fittings are the core components used to create complete frameless glass walls, where the operating door is integrated into fixed glass panels.
- Doors with Sidelites: A door leaf is positioned next to one or more fixed glass panels (sidelites).
- Doors with Overpanels (Transoms): These systems include a fixed glass panel above the door to fill the ceiling height.
3. Glass-to-Glass Hinged Doors
- For lighter doors (like interior office doors or shower enclosures) that don't use a heavy floor spring, patch fittings can integrate a hinge mechanism.
- Hydraulic Patch Hinges: They combine the compact clamping design of a patch fitting with a small, hydraulic hinge to provide controlled closing without being concealed in the floor.
- Pivot Patch Fittings: They are used when the pivot point of the door needs to be offset or mounted directly against another fixed glass panel (glass-to-glass pivot).
Selecting the right patch fitting based on your door thickness is the single most important factor for a secure, safe, and stable frameless glass door installation.
1. Identify Your Glass Thickness
First, you must accurately measure the thickness of your toughened glass panel. The majority of frameless glass doors fall into these three standard thicknesses:
- 8 mm (5/16 in.)
- 10 mm (3/8 in.)
- 12 mm (1/2 in.)
Thicker glass (15 mm or 19 mm) is occasionally used for exceptionally large or specialised doors, but this is less common for standard swing doors.
2. Check the Fitting's Specification
Every high-quality patch fitting is explicitly manufactured with a rating for the glass thickness it can safely clamp. Example: 10 mm glass, 8 mm - 12 mm compatible.
3. Gaskets (The Key Differentiator)
For patch fittings that are rated for a range of thicknesses (8 mm to 12 mm), the correct fit is achieved by using the appropriate gasket set or rubber insert.
- Gaskets: Rubber or plastic inserts that sit between the metal body of the patch fitting and the glass.
- Gasket Sizing: You must use the set that corresponds exactly to your glass:
- If you have a 12 mm door, you use the thinnest gaskets.
- If you have an 8 mm door, you use the thickest gaskets.
Yes, high-quality patch fittings are specifically designed to support and manage the load of heavy glass doors, but their capacity depends heavily on the quality and engineering of the fitting itself and how it integrates with the rest of the hardware.
The materials used are corrosion-resistant stainless steel with clip-on covers, a high-security cylinder, and bolt throw for added strength.
Patch fittings on glass doors require both regular cleaning and periodic structural inspection to ensure the door remains secure, stable, and visually appealing:
1. Routine Cleaning (Weekly/Monthly)
- Cleaning Method: Use a soft, non-abrasive cloth (like microfibre) and a mild, pH-neutral detergent or stainless steel cleaner.
- Avoid harsh chemicals, bleach, or acidic cleaners (like those used for tile/concrete), as these can damage the stainless steel's protective layer and lead to "tea staining" or localised corrosion. Also, avoid abrasive materials like steel wool, which can scratch the finish and leave behind particles that rust.
- Drying: Always wipe the fittings thoroughly and dry immediately after cleaning to prevent water spots and minimise corrosion risk.

Patch Fittings for Glass Doors
Patch fittings are hardware for frameless glass doors that perform the activity of critical connection points. The sleek metal glass patch fittings (or door patch fittings) securely clamp onto the corners of the glass, linking the panel to the floor spring and top pivot. The use of a glass door patch fitting ensures both functional integrity and a modern, minimalist aesthetic.
Premium Patch Fittings for Glass Doors
While designing modern entrances, premium patch fittings for glass doors are essential for both aesthetics and functionality. These glass patch fittings introduce a sleek, minimalist look by securely clamping the frameless glass panel. Choosing high-grade metal glass door patch fittings ensures superior durability and exceptional design quality. Premium versions offer Godrej reliability, along with key differentiators like high-security cylinder and bolt throw for added strength, and corrosion-resistant clip-on covers. These features guarantee long-lasting performance and smooth operation for high-traffic environments.
Range of Glass Patch Fittings We Offer
Glass patch fittings are essential components that anchor frameless glass doors while connecting them to the floor spring, pivots, and surrounding structure. The selection of the correct glass door patch fitting is critical for ensuring the longevity and safe, smooth operation of the entire frameless entrance system. Patch fittings are categorised into:
Bottom Patch
- It’s located on the bottom corner of the door and is one of the most critical fittings.
- The fitting houses the mechanism (socket) that receives the spindle of the floor spring, transferring the door's weight and enabling the controlled closing action.
Top Patch
- It’s located on the top corner of the door.
- The fitting works in conjunction with the top pivot. It holds the door steady and aligns the door's rotational axis while allowing the door to swing freely.
Pivot Patch
- It is usually a variant of the Top Patch.
- The fitting is specifically designed to house an offset pivot pin when the door is installed slightly away from the frame line (not directly on the centreline of the glass panel).
Corner Patch
- It is located on the top or bottom corner of a fixed side panel.
- The fitting is used to connect a fixed glass panel (sidelite or transom) to another fixed panel or to the ceiling/floor, often providing structural rigidity for the entire glass entrance system.
Lock Patch
- It’s located on the mid-height side edge of the door.
- A specialised fitting designed to hold a key-operated locking mechanism (like a deadbolt or lever lock), it is used to secure the door when closed.
Transom Patch
- It is installed in the frame/transom above the door.
- This is the fixed component that houses the top pivot pin, allowing the pin from the top patch on the door to rotate securely within the frame.
Overpanel/Sidelite Patch
- The fitting connects a door to a fixed glass sidelight or overpanel (transom).
- It’s used to mechanically join the main door assembly to adjacent glass panels to form a cohesive, stable glass wall structure.
