Replacing broken window in French door
 
I have one broken window pane in an oldish wooden French door that
leads outside.

The pane is about 6" x 12" and is held in by wood slats on inside and
outside (no glazing).

Apparently I need to take the door apart somewhat to get a new pane in.
How do I do this?

I found an old thread on this question that said French doors have a
removable molding stop on one side, but I can't find it.

I'm moving next week so I need to get this fixed, and glass places in
town want $150 to come do it.

Thanks.

Take it to them for the day, making sure they know it's an entry door.

For DYI, we'd be starting at square-one, it seems.

Remove one of the wood slats, pull the nails or drive them through the slat
..Slide the slat out then the remaining three should be removed with ease .
Remove the broken pane and replace with new one of the same thickness then
replace the retaining slats.
