Exterior door window panel question
We have a steel exterior door on our house, styled to look like a French
door. The interior grid panel that makes the glass look like it paned glass is wood and snaps out so that you can clean the bigger glass panel more easily. Make sense? That wooden grid is held in place by little clips that work almost like glaziers points. You slip a flat, pointy end between the glass and the rubbery-plastic weather stripping. The other end, which has kind of a bump or hump in it sits on top of the glass and the wooden grill snaps into place. Over the years, we've lost a few of these clips and some have lost their "spring." I need to get some new ones, but can't find them or even know what they are called. No brand name on the door...that would be too easy! Any help appreciated! Abi |

Home Depot stocks Anderson stuff. go check out one of there displays and see if it is the same hardware. |

If the big-box doesn't have it, the local 'real' window/glass company probably will, or know where to get it. They run into that problem when replacing busted panes. The little metal/plastic hardware bits go flying or shatter. As for a brand name on the door, try looking on the bottom, or under the threshold plate or the sweeper thing mounted on the door, or on the hinges. Also try looking on the other exterior doors in the house- odds are they are the same brand, if house hasn't been remodeled. Around here, Pease or Stanley are the common 'name' brands. aem sends... |
