Abstract
A composite door with a lite utilizes panels with aligned cutouts and a foam retainer member which extends about the cutouts between the panels to effect a seal. The retainer has a mounting portion extending inwardly from the cutout periphery. The lite is disposed in the cutout and it is secured by an external frame which has portions overlying the outer surface of the panel and its marginal portion. A clamp secured to the foam retainer and external frame and clamps the lite to the external frame, and an internal frame has portions overlying the outer surface of the other panel and the marginal portion of the other surface of the lite and conceals the clamp and fastener.
