Replacing the glasses of the old ramshackled blinds and doors or sliding doors is one of the very common ways of initiating a makeover for any given space, whether it is home or office. So go ahead, grab the glossy change and enjoy the shine.

This bright and glossy as well as handy makeover of replacement glasses for doors and old blinds will require you to see that the process heads through a few specific procedures. The first step to an apt replacement of glasses for doors and old blinds is to take the exact measurements of the doors and the blinds. Do measure in detail and your measurement should include the area across the bottom, the center, and also the top of the existing frame of the door to get the narrowest of the dimensions.

As you start measuring start just from where the old door frame ends and the exterior metals begins.  The exterior metal can comprise of anything from stucco to siding or brick. The exact measurement is required for three specific spots namely the center, the bottom and the top when you are considering replacement glasses for doors and old blinds. Once you take these measurements for the interior, do the same for the exterior as well. In this case, focus it on where the frame ends and the drywall or the plaster or the sheetrock begins.

Now as you have taken all the six measurements, spot the one which is the narrowest. Deduct ¾” from it and what you have is the width of your new door. Now the last element left is the height. That’s easy and can be done from the outside itself. Measure the center, left and the right side from the floor where the bottom trail sits, up to the top where the old framework ends and the exterior stuff begins. Take the narrowest dimension and deduct 1/2". That’s the height of your new door. Finally, decide upon which side you want the sliding parts to be for both the doors and the slides.
