Subject: Re: LG45 Door Window Glass Replacement
Hi Mark,
Toughened glass I believe. I have one door glass that I would think is the original that is shaped quite well and the other laminated and not well shaped. I plan to replace both sometime as I have managed to crack the good one.
I suggest you remove the whole door first either by unscrewing the hinges or knocking the pins out while supporting the door (very heavy!). If you remove the capping on the top face of the door and up the front of the quarterlight this will expose the screws holding the wood trim that faces inwards. Remove the door lock chrome bits plus the winding handle (can't recall how though - a pin perhaps to be knocked out). The inner trim panel can then be levered carefully off. Remove the door lock. Then remove the inner timber - a wide piece (7 or 8 inches) across the top and a narrower vertical piece, these need to be removed as a unit as the winder mechanism is fixed to both bits. Quarter light fixings can then be seen.
This is from memory but I do have photos of the door apart if that would help.
