Their beautiful design and numerous panes of glass allow fresh air and sunlight to filter through. If one of these glass inserts breaks urgent repair is required to maintain the functionality and appearance of the door. Fortunately, replacing a damaged window pane on a french door is an easy task that can be done at home. How to replace a damaged Window Pane A broken window pane on your French door is not just unsightly and dangerous, but also a risk. It also exposes you and your family members to glass fragments flying around when opening and closing the door and also leaves the possibility that it may break again. It's much simpler and cheaper to replace a glass pane than you may think. With just a few basic tools and materials that can be purchased at any hardware store, you can complete the job in a few hours without needing to pay for a professional job or replacing the entire frame of your door. Wear safety glasses and gloves before you begin to shield yourself from glass shards. Apply duct tape in an "X" shape over the door's area that will be removed to catch any glass that has fallen. Cover the remainder of your door with a towel or cardboard to prevent any more glass from falling as you work. Take off any molding or trim around the window that is broken from the door's frame. If it's been glued on using pliers or a pry-bar, you can remove it with pliers. After the broken glass pieces have been removed, use a putty blade to scrape the old glazing putty and eliminate it. Then, knead the putty until it's soft and malleable. Apply it to all the rabbets exposed. It's okay if the putty isn't perfect at this point as you will be covering it up in the future. When the putty is dry, carefully place your replacement window pane into the frame. If the window pane is too big, trim the edge
