Hmmm...I haven't given much thought to the weight. I have no idea how
much a sheet of glass this size would weigh. Seems like 1/4" would be
strong enough not to break easily, though. Surely the thickness of a
sliding glass door is about that.

As for removing it by hand....perhaps a hinge might be easier.
sigh Decisions, decisions.

Thanks
