An eyebrow top door is a steel-and-glass door with a shallow, low-rise curve at its head, a softer line than a square top, quieter than a full-radius arch. It is a subtle gesture that softens a square opening just enough to feel crafted, without committing to the full drama of an arch, a detail that reads as considered the moment you see it.
The shallow curve is harder to draw well than it looks. The radius has to be generous and even, the glass cut to match, and the muntins balanced so the eyebrow feels like one continuous line. Mod Metal Doors forms each one by hand in its Central Texas shop to suit the proportion of the opening.
Eyebrow-top doors are a refined choice for entries and interior passages where you want a touch of curve and a lot of restraint. They pair naturally with eyebrow-top windows and transoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an eyebrow top and an arch top door?
An arch top follows a full, true radius that reads as a distinct arch; an eyebrow top rises in a shallow, gentle curve that only softens the head of the door. The eyebrow is the quieter of the two, curve with restraint.
Can eyebrow top doors match my windows and transoms?
Yes. Eyebrow-top windows and transoms are built in the same steel profile, so the same shallow curve can carry across an entire elevation. The rise is drawn to the proportion of each opening.
Do you build eyebrow top doors for homes outside Central Texas?
Yes. Every eyebrow top door is formed by hand in Mod Metal Doors' Central Texas shop and installed anywhere in the state, from the Hill Country to Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston.
