We have an Acadiana style mahogany 6 light door. This week one of the panes shattered and we have no idea why. It’s double paned with bevels on the outside but the inside lane is the only part that broke.

Got one quote for more than we paid for the door. I called where I got the door but no luck. I’m hoping to find a replacement window that I can fix or have a handy man fix. If not, I’ll just buy a new door.

Does anyone know a company that builds these doors?

Call a local lumberyard and see if they know anyone.

They quoted $700 which is more than a new door.

Can you replace it yourself or is it specialty glass? Ace Hardware will cut you a piece of glass for cheap

That’s what I’m hoping for. Trying to find someone in the business. It’s double paned insulated with bevel cut on the outside. I just found out the maker of the door is out of business but there has to be another manufacturer that I can buy the glass from or get it directly from the glass shop

Call the manufacturer. They can provide the materials needed. I had three storm doors not installed yet. Caught my neighbor playing prowler and in his haste to escape broke the lockset on a Pella Storm door. Called Pella and they replaced the lockset at no charge. Had a Bath remodel done and a butt Plumber threw his tool bag on the toilet seat scratching the seat. Called Kohler, same outcome, sent us a new seat at no cost to us. Plumber got fired ....
