- Sliding Glass Door Replaced Quick, Easy, Cheap!
The Lawnmower decided to attack the sliding glass door with a rock.
The glass was broken and needed to be replaced.
Did you know that the glass replacement cost was around $350.00?
That's a little too much.
My Dad replaced the door glass for about $76.00 bucks.
Sweet! Here's how he did it.
Quick, Easy, Cheap!

It’s very much appreciated!
Rent alone takes more than 75% of my fixed income. When I fell through my glass door, I didn’t know how I could replace it. Thank you for sharing your secret!
Thank you for sharing this valuable information. Being disabled I was trying to figure out how I could fix my sliding patio door reasonably. W was quoted $1800. By a company and there is no way I can afford that. This I can do l. God Bless you and thank you for your service 🫡❤️🙏
Very Nice! It’s a temporary solution, that lasts for a while. 👍
You helped a lot of people with this. Who cares what the rest of them say. Your house, your money, your video, to hell with the negative comments
gaalford Ha! Very Nice! Thanks for commenting ;)
The same thing happened today...Was mowing the lawn or lack of. And, a 1 1/2" rock pummeled the stationary sliding door.. And, is still in between the 2 panes of tempered glass. It was interesting to watch and listen to it shatter all the way to the top.Have it taped off right now. Going to do the plexi hack. Thanks! Great temporary fix.
Hey, thank you so much for posting this video. You don't know what a relief it is that there's a cheaper way to do this because we are strapped for cash in fixing ours. By the way, our dog who we weren't supposed to have, decided the head butt the glass door .anyway, thanks.
Right up my alley...thanks man.
Yep. true- The glass was broken so we replaced with the plexiglass over the frame.
We cleaned the inside glass really well and then attached the plexi to the frame.
We did leave the gasket from the old one in place, just in case we wanted to replace the glass.
That was awesome you sir are bad ass thank you great video
Curious if you removed the broken pieces of glass that were stuck to the old trim? we removed the trim but there is still glass glued to that old mounting tar.
I hear you. Some of these sliding doors have really costly door glass.
This worked for us. Hope it works for you.
How thick was the plexiglass that you used a d what do you recommend?
Excellent! I didn’t want to spend hundreds of dollars on fixing my door. Thank you.
It’s a temporary fix for as long as you want. ;)
Thanks bro
Thank you
You’re Welcome! Thanks for commenting 😉
Just wondering did you get the plexiglass at home depot or lowes? I was reading and it looked a little more expensive. I have yet to get up there and check for myself. Thanks. Any problems like I read in fogging?
Lowes is where we got it.
We haven't had any problems with fogging.
So far, So good.
with none of the insulating properties of the inert gas filled gap between the double panes. you'd be better off paying the $350. due to the energy savings
This is what I have to do thanks
Nice quick,inexpensive fix for anyone who's cash strapped. (Something is better than nothing)
.
what size is the thickness of the plexiglass. And thanks for the video
Where can you buy the glass?
I love peanut butter too!
Does your window fog up with this method install?
I couldn’t see how he actually put it on though. Do you have to take off part of the aluminum frame to get the glass in?
do these doors have an inside casing over the glass that pops out? possible to install security film under that inside casing?
It was a dual pane door. It was sealed and not meant to come apart. Security film would work on the inside facing pane.
Same thing happened to me this morning. Lol cheers
This is sort of a cheap fix that I would do if i were in dire straits. It's December in New England now. Three days ago, I don't know how it happen but, my stationary door outside glass chattered. It made a loud thud that I heard downstairs in my office. There was no evidence of any trauma. My insurance company estimated the cost to repair would be $2400.00. I called around and found that I could order the stationary door if I new the manufacture but, I can't find the nomenclature label anywhere on the unit.
where can i get the glass?
Does the frame type matter ?an what bout this it look like molding rubber .? I'm obviously a women .my sons friend just broke my slider I'm going to try your method. Just asking for last min info before I go to home depot please reply
All these negative comments are from glass replacement workers or owners that are mad because they can't gauge you with a $350 to $400 repair. I just got an estimate for $575 and the guy was going to use plexiglass. FT!
My sliding glass door wasn't shattered like yours was how do I go about removing the cracked glass?
Sounds like you're going to have to finish breaking it.
Gloves, Eye Protection and a Shop vaccuum are in order. :)
Umm so I broke a glass door (sliding) and I saw the video. Do you just use mountain tape to place the glass or do use glur
Definitely use mountain tape Mr repairson. Glur could get in your drink and cause anasty infection. Be the nail not the hamburger. Gang gang
Mine is totally busted out I may just take it apart and frame the plexiglass if I can find the right thickness
Cheaper is not always better and for an investment like a house I don't think I want to take the cheapest route for this fix however good to know in case times get harder then I know of a quick cheap fix. Thanks for your time and skills, bump the negative comments...
Keith Harris yep. Agreed. It lasted long enough to have it fixed. :)
What size sheet?
Does anybody knows how to fix it
Hi, you dont actually explain how to get to the glass from the frame
Nope.
Haven't had a problem with fogging. :)
What about now?
Exactly what just happened to me 🤦🏽♂️
hi I shot a bb at my door and the whole thing just broke what should I do! please help me its very urgent!
You should replace it
Are you serious ? What a hack job !
Have any cheap means to replace a sliding glass tub door-don't have a frame. I have the other door though.
As a glazier I also don't recommend this unless you are really broke. I don't think it is technically against code since plexiglass is safety glass (maybe it depends on the area, I'm in Illinois), but it's going to get rid of the all the insulating properties of the insulated glass unit. And the guy left in the ugly remnants of the tempered glass.
It was a temporary measure. ;)
😭😭:l im so dead because we have allt of dogs and they kept on barking so i knocked on the door ti hard and then they jumped and i just feel so bad for the money and how were gonna get the dogs in a place
I never made it past the intro. peanut butter sucks. ALMOND BUTTER FOREVER!!!!
Almond Butter is for Suckers! 😎
Thanks my landlord will never know.
Im a glazier with more than 10 years experience, work in NYC, these method is totally wrong, the plexi glass is illegal in exit doors, the plexi glass can not be clean because it get scratch easily, eventually turning white of scratches, i understand you try to save money, im a home owner my self, but you will end up doing the work twice in less than a month or two.
Josh What would a replacement glass cost? Say 54L X 80W (inches)
Who really cares if it's illegal? How many viewers on here have never done something illegal? If you say you have never done something illegal you are lying.
im sure a license electrician will not split the wire and put duct tape and install 5 new outles from the same breaker, im not sure if you will understand that, but people that do this for a living will, is illegal for a reason someone could die, not saying you can not do it, it just wrong. fyi i throw a soda can last week in the park.
josh erazo
Litterbug eh?
Yea I figured that! I didn't use it, It seemed Junk!
Ghetto glaze.
You never showed removal or installation. What was the point of this video? And really plexiglass are you serious lol
Yes he is serious about plexiglass as should you. Laughter is incompatible with acrylics of all creed due to how serious it is. You never asked for that information sir, so where is it supposed to come from if not quieried initial? Gang gang
U mean hillbilly fix???
Where the hell are you buying your glass at that it cost $350 for replacement?
Custom door, custom size, custom glass = $358.00 plus tax.
The full replacement unit is called an Insulated Glass Unit, which is the dual glazed, sealed unit that fits inside the frame of that door section . I was quoted around $350 here in So Cal a while back just for the unit. I'll be doing the R and R myself.
It's tempered glass. Has to be tempered for safety and code.
This does not show us how to replace the glass seriously disappointing
