Door glass in Whitby usually breaks for a reason that has nothing to do with the glass. A hydraulic closer thickens as the temperature drops, the door starts slamming through January, and the pane in it absorbs that impact several hundred times a day. Meanwhile salt and grit ground into the threshold at a busy plaza entrance wear the bottom pivot out, the door drops out of square, and the glass ends up carrying load it was never designed to take.
So we re-glaze and we look at the whole assembly: frame, stops, gaskets, pivots, closer and the swing itself, so the new pane is not simply the next one to break. Aluminum entrance doors, residential sidelites, transoms and patio door lites all get tempered or laminated safety glass, which is what the Ontario Building Code expects at an entrance, and most Whitby doors can be re-glazed in place without coming off their hinges or pivots.

Door Glass and Entrance Lites — your questions
The glass in my aluminum entrance door keeps breaking — why?
Nine times out of ten the door is the culprit, not the glass. A closer that is out of adjustment or has stiffened in the cold slams the door, or a worn pivot has let it drop out of square so the frame is loading the pane. We check the swing, the pivots and the closer when we re-glaze so the replacement is not on the same countdown.
Does door glass have to be safety glass?
Yes. Glass in a door, in a sidelite over 500 mm wide that could be mistaken for a doorway, and in entrance panels has to be tempered or laminated safety glass to CAN/CGSB-12.1-M. We replace it with the correct type rather than plain glass, and we confirm which one your opening needs before we cut anything.
Can you re-glaze a door without removing it?
Usually yes. Most aluminum entrance doors, sidelites and transoms are glazed in place from the stops, so the door stays hung and your entrance keeps working. If a door has to come off — a bent frame, a failed pivot, a corner that has pulled apart — we tell you first and secure the opening while it is out.
