Hi- I've got a couple of doors I'd like to break down so I can replace the 2
bottom panes with a panel.

The bottom panes are held in by a beading on each side. On an original
door, these were probably formed in-situ by machining a groove into
the door parts. However if you get a suitable saw (I use a Japanese
azebiki, from Axminster, which is ideal for this) you can saw the
beads on one side free from the door rails. This should then allow the
panes to fall out (they may ned help). Make new panes, put them back
into the door, then hold them in with either the old beading or some
new beading.
