REMOVE OLD GLASS INSERT
Note! Handling glass can be dangerous. Glass inserts can be heavy and 
awkward. Use additional help and always wear protective clothing.
1. If the old insert has 
screw plugs over 
the screw heads in 
the interior frame, 
drive a drywall screw 
into the screw plug 
until it is loose from 
the hole. Remove 
all remaining screw 
plugs in the same 
manner.
2. Support the glass 
insert while removing 
screws to keep it 
from falling. Remove 
the screws from the 
interior frame from 
the bottom up.
3. When all the screws 
are removed, slide 
the edge of a putty 
knife between a top 
corner of the interior 
frame and door. 
Work around the 
entire perimeter until 
the interior frame is 
loose.
4. Repeat this procedure around the exterior frame. Remove the glass 
insert and set aside in a safe location.
