Default Replacing a window section in a door


"Colin Chaplin" wrote in message
...
I have a fairly standard front door with two little double-glazed glass
panels. A little darling passer-by has smashed one of the panels with a
stone I assume.

Actual replacement looks straightforwrd, just lever out the frame, and pop
in a replacement then refix. Trouble is, I can't find such a thing
anywhere.

The panel is about 210x160mm (to measure it Id have to take it out)

I've put piccies of what I mean on http://www.chaplin.me.uk/door/

I'm hoping these panels are readily buyable somehwere, question is where?

Thanks all

Colin
If you can't do the job in one day cut a piece of ply or sterling board
bigger than the glass.

Remove the glass unit put the ply on the outside put a batten on the inside
and fix the two together through the hole

Door is now secure for as long as it takes your local glazing co to make a
new unit
