Further to my 'toughened glass' post a few days back - for which thanks for the feedback - I want to replace the two panes of glass in an internal panelled door with toughened stuff. However I'm struggling to see how to get the old glass out.
The glass 'appears' to have wooden beading on both sides holding it in, but I'd assumed that on one side the 'beading' would be integral to the door timber, with genuine beading on the other. Yet I can't seem to prise it out on either side and since my attempts are increasingly beginning to damage the door I've called a halt... and I'm wondering, is it possible/likely that the door (which isn't very old) would have been manufactured and assembled with the glass actually in situ? In other words, the 'beading' is integral to the door on both sides?
If that's the case, how do you replace the glass - or are you expected just to buy a new door if this is necessary? If it's a case of hacking away the old 'beading' with a chisel and then replacing with 'real' beading later, I wouldn't rate my chances of getting a good result :(
