I'm replacing the fanlight above the front door with new frosted glass
with the house number engraved on it.

Suggestions on how to remove the old glass safely. I'm not an
experience glazier.

The obvious way is to just smash it out - but am concerned with
damage to surrounding things by the falling glass.


Isn't the obvious way to remove the putty or whatever is holding the
glass in then remove the glass in one piece?




Assuming it was originally properly fitted with putty even if you spent
all week trying to remove it


the glass would still not come out without breaking.


As I said I'm anything but a glazing expert, but this is what I'm
expecting.

Any other glass I've replaced before was easily accessible and already
broken.
