Replacing Broken Glass In a Sliding Door

In any event, it really doesn't matter, what does matter is that you must install safety glass when replacing the broken glass. You can order the glass from a local glass shop. They will need to know the width, the height, and the glass thickness. If you live in a residential tract home, there are standard sizes used in the sliding door industry. For example, if you have an opening of 6' wide X 6' 8" Tall, the glass in each panel will be 34 X 76. You can confirm this by measuring across where the glass disappears into the frame rail. You should come up with somewhere around 33". (continued at http://i-construct.siteburg.com/glass-replacing.html ) |
