Should also add that we have updated our door since this drawing and will no longer have a side light window - so that is no longer a consideration!

I try to avoid door conflicts, so as drawn is best in this situation.

Thank you both! I was second guessing my choice so appreciate the affirmation!

Why did you eliminate the sidelite? Door swing should be as shown.

@millworkman - It's a very small foyer and we have a large window to the right when you walk in so will have plenty of natural light and due to building code we would need to frost the sidelight anyways

" due to building code we would need to frost the sidelight anyways "

Why is that? Never heard of that being code anywhere.

If it was my door I would want the sidelight to be on the opposite side (latch side) so that I can easier see who's at the door. Never heard of a code requirement that sidelights be opaque. Are you sure about this?

@millworkman and @Virgil Carter Fine Art apologies - being on the build site all day and answering late last night must have had my brain fried! The building code is in relation to the actual front door and impacts whether or not we would have.a side light that is opaque or clear (resulting in multiple peepholes) regardless, due to the proximity of the front door to the sidewalk, we most likely need it to be opaque for privacy reasons but the window on the side of the home that gives light to the foyer is less invasive (and large) hence why we have removed the door side light.

Appreciate all feedback - we're going to keep the swing as shown on the plans!
