I just had the misfortune of having the glass on my sliding glass

is shattered and gone, the inner one is still there. I am looking for
advice on repair/replacement.

1. Is it possible to just replace the glass?

2. Is it better to replace the frame that holds the glass panes?

3. Should I replace the entire door? This is what my wife would like.

Are any of these something a newbie could do on their own, to save on
labor? What would be the relative costs?


Thank you kindly for any responses and advice, including options I
may not have considered.

I had a lawnmower fling a piece of petrified pet poo, or maybe brick (at
over 300 mph), through a tempered-glass patio door.

Called a glass company. Guy was out with the glass (they are evidently
standard sizes, about 3.5 x 6.5 feet) within the hour and, after another
hour, had it installed. I helped a bit because the pane to wiggle around
burglar bars anchored into the brick walls and concrete patio.

Nevertheless, $180.00. Good as new.

In your case, I bet the double-glass panes are standard, too.
