How do I fit a pain of glass in a front door? |
The door has 6 glass squares in it and I need to change one is it hard? Not hard. No easy! Take the caulk or wood that holds the glass out. Measure the space, get the glass, (tell the hardware store it's for a door). then just reverse what you did while taking it out. You may have to buy new putty if it's held in that way. Not really that hard. remove the glass...measure the frame..make allowances for the new glass..fit the glass..hammer in pins to hold glass in place..wet your hands when applying the putty(makes it easier to handle) then wet the putty knife and run it along the putty and remove excess might be easier to take the door off and take it to a lumber yard. they have the right tools make sure that it is tempered safety glass... No - just remember it should be laminated or toughened to comply with building regulations (in the UK), but you will want this for safety/security anyway. It is either fitted with beads , which you remove carefully, so you can re-use, or putty with little nails (sprigs) which you remove and renew. Check the thickness from the pieces you are removing to order the right weight of glass. |
