Usually these doors whether they're metal, glass or wood have a 3/8 or 1/2 moulding at the inside perimeter of the glass holding the glass in place. This moulding will be held in place by small nails or brads, if so pry up gently with a wide blade straight screwdriver or anything slim and strong. be careful to not press up or down too vigorously so as not to make dents in the door or moulding, gentle is the deyword here! some moulding will be held in place by small screws which are sometimes hidden be vinyl hole plugs. These simply pry out to access the screw beneath. Again be gentle to avoid marring the moulding. removing the glass is best done w/two people. first!!!! have the correct size and type replacement glass at hand . after removing all the moulding (and always expect the old glass to fall out when you least expect it-not very likely but can happen) have a person outside push gently in at the top of the old glass until it pops loose then gently lean the glass in slightly to break the seal the rest of the way. Once you know the glass is free top to bottom have the person come inside and help to lay the old glass safely aside. You should have a tube of acrylic or vinyl white caulk ready. cut only a small piece off the tip at a slight angle and put a small bead of caulk all around on the inside of the door where the new glass will seat. be sure to have same type and size nails or old screws at hand. lift the glass gently and place the bottom in the opening first then lean the top in until the glass is pressed firmly into the caulk all the way around the outside perimeter. One person should now check to make sure the glass is pressed as tightly against the outside moulding as possible.(never hit the glass to make it tight or press anywhere except at the edges!!). Now comes the delicate part. put the top and bottom inside mouldings first. This will let the side pieces flex a little in case the fit is tight. Then put sides in last. If the mouldings have to be renailed in place be very careful that you put new nails in same holes and put a piece of cardboard against the glass before you nail to protect the glass in case you get a bit wild with your hammer. If it was screwed in originnaly "piece of cake " simply reinstall screws. Use a putty or flat screwdriver to remove any excess caulk on the outside and then use a wet cloth or paper towel to wipe the last vestiges of caulk outside and you're done! just think thru before you do anything, take your time and be careful!!!!
