What Are Meeting Stiles and Astragals?
Meeting Stiles and Astragals are sealing systems installed on pairs of doors to close the gap where the doors meet when closed. They are commonly used on commercial entry doors, office doors, healthcare facilities, schools, hotels, and industrial buildings where sound control, weather protection, smoke containment, or security is required.
By sealing the center gap between doors, meeting stiles help improve environmental control while enhancing the performance of the overall door assembly.

Choosing the correct configuration helps ensure proper sealing performance and security.
