Nobody is going to make you replace the door, but if you do decide to do so, you'll need tempered glass. It is really the only way that they are made now anyway, so no big deal. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

If the door is was built after 77 then it's tempered, before that then likely not. Sometimes the older etchings are impossible to see. __________________ A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words Especially In The DIY Chatroom -NEW MEMBERS- Please include your basic location in your profile.

Can't say I have seen too many still in circulation without tempered glass. Many companies were already making them that way prior to the actual code mandating it. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
