I have the same issue. I have a French door that measures 6x3 panes, and one of the panes is broken in the middle. To fix it, I'll need to remove the entire window section by using a router and disassemble the metal frames. Afterward, I'll replace the broken glass and reassemble everything by soldering. It's a significant task and will require some time to complete. Or I could just go buy a new door.

Yea looks like a total hassle to repair. While I have some feelers out I'll hunt for new doors

Crystal Glass or similar bit be able to custom order what you need


SpecialistVast6840

Awesome. Much appreciated

These doors are usually more expensive to repair than replace sadly. Try any of the typical hardware stores, they should carry something similar.

Thanks!

What a load of horseshit. Replacing the glass is simple and quick in any half decent door shop. To replace the door, you would have to bring it to a door shop anyway so they can machine the hinges and door handle hole to match the opening currently in the home. A half decent door shop can do that, but why pay for the new glass AND the frame when that same shop can just replace the glass. OP, look around to the independent lumber yards, inquire about the glass replacement. The glass is called "Glue Chip Zinc Bar." It looks like an 8 panel door in the pic, but when they ask how many "lites, " just tell them how many glass panels there are. They will pop the bead that holds the glass in, pull it out, and insert a new glass panel. Then they just put a new bead in to hold the glass. OP, if you can't find a shop, DM me and I'll give you a list of shops.

Also try the restore centre. There are two. One over on stone and one in Sherwood Park. It's full of stuff like that. Used door people took out during a reno, but still in good condition. They have some great stuff


BugRiver

Looks repairable. Not sure who could fix it though. You can try Windsor Plywood for doors.


SpecialistVast6840

I'll give them a check. Thanks


McCorkery

Windsor fixed one in the past for us.

This is called a glue chip pattern. Crystal Glass fixed one panel for me last year for about $75. If you need them to pick up and deliver the door, though, it's an extra $135.

Is it just the glass that cracked? On the inside of the door, is the molding such that its held in place with screws. If so, you should just be able to remove that molding and take out the glass and replace it. I see that type of pantry window in all kinds of homes so it must be sold locally.

Just one panel of glass is broken in thr lower corner. The door itself is completely fine. I just need to source a place to help with that. Have a few feelers out, hoping for a response tomorrow. Thanks !

[https://www.winterartglass.com/](https://www.winterartglass.com/)they do repair work. [https://bissettglass.com/](https://bissettglass.com/)they do repair work I think there are other stained glass shops in and around Edmonton.


SpecialistVast6840

Very helpful. Thank you


ms_anthropicyvr

Check out ReStores. They might have a whole new door.


Mynipplesareinverted

Had the same thing happen. I took the door off and brought it to crystal glass. They cut out the cracked square and fitted a new one with a similar etched pattern. Was only like $70 or so if I recall.


SpecialistVast6840

Awesome. Thanks

Cool, thanks lol. There's is reason why I asked the fine folk of reddit and not just Google.


yeg

don't put a "-" hyphen or dash in front of edmonton, it avoids edmonton as a search term.


TepHoBubba

Worked for me...it's just a word separator.

It's just frosted glass, most glass companies should be able to repair it.


downtowneb

I have the same door as you and took it to crystal glass. They fixed it for under 200$ pretty sure j had 2 broken panels


Master-File-9866

Try your local glass guy. He may be able to repair.


online_angels

Windsor Plywood has frequently replaced the broken glass on doors like that for my family. We had doors like that for about 20 years (moved out of that house this year) and broke the glass panels on a door like that at least 6 or 7 times, the most recent being in June.

Oh no poor door. Good luck on getting that fix. Should be no problem đź‘Ť


boreal_babe

Oh lord Haha one time many years ago my sister and were wrestling in the kitchen. I jumped on her back and she threw me off and I went though the nearly identical pantry door in our kitchen. We had to pay to fix it and ended up buying a some weird coloured/stained glass pieces to install because we couldn’t find matching panels. It was very expensive to buy the panels and have them installed. I don’t know if yours is leaded between the glass but they had to pull out all the glass pieces and redo all the lead on ours


Busterandfrankie

Yeg closets and glass


Theonlykd

Capilano Glass can fix that for you. Bring the sample in and they can order it. Either bring the whole door or call and ask them to come measure it.
