Let's Get Ready: What You'll Need


Replacing your doorglass isn't a complex task, but we suggest you thoroughly review our installation instructions, how-to videos and  FAQs to familiarize yourself with the process to achieve the best results. Once you purchase the correct size doorglass, let's make sure you have all your tools and supplies ready before you begin:

Safety Gloves

Safety Glasses

Drywall Screw (size optional)

Power Screwdriver with Phillips Head Bit

Putty Knife

Window Cleaner

Tape Measure

Pencil

Painter's Tape

Partner to Help

Drop Cloth (or you may repurpose the cardboard carton your ODL doorglass was packaged in)

Glass inserts are heavy and can be awkward to maneuver. Take your time removing and inserting the doorglass, and set the glass down gently. We recommend wearing gloves and safety glasses to reduce the risk of injury, just in case either glass insert cracks or breaks.
