How To Add Glass To A Metal Door - Sliding Metal Door
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2024
- This was a fun build as I was able to create it a bit differently than most of my other doors. It was a nice challenge to create the framework in a way that kept the overall weight of the door to a minimum.
There several ways to add glass into doors. This method is what I found to be most direct and would be user friendly if the client ever had the need to replace the glass.
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.

Thanks again. I'm borrowing from this to make my container home even better!!
Wonderful! Very Cool!
I have to say that is a nice door!!! You see wood all the time but rarely metal. Outstanding!!!
Cool thank you so much. I was very pleased with the over all look once it was finished
Thank you so much for the knowledge
My pleasure. Sorry for the delayed response.
Glad you got some help in the Shop , Nice Door Doug , Good to see you, be safe out there , talk soon !!
Thanks Barry, yeah it has been great having Robin in the shop. We've known each other for over 30 years and we speak the same maker language.
I digged how you use the weatherstripping. Great idea instead of silicon.
Thank you, I figured it would be much easier to change out the glass if the client needed to at some point. Plus it's going to be an interior door which made the choice easier.
Ha, Doug. Glad to see your keeping busy.
So am I, considering everything that is going on in the world
Thanks for the video Doug - Robin. Now you have someone to talk to apart from yourself. Keep safe and stay well.
Thanks Colin. Because we've both worked a lone for so long, we keep catching each other talking to ourselves and asking, are you talking to me?
@@ArtfullyRogue LOL
I had an idea of adding glass to some of my metal projects and the removable backer and rubber was about how I thought it would be. Thanks for clarifying and making it look easy. The one think I didn't like on your door though was leaving the mil scale after you had ground down to clean metal at the welds. Other than that awesome job.
Thanks Doug. I have very little experience with this type of metalwork, so your explanation of how and why you do this stuff is super valuable. I always come away from your videos with knowledge that I’ll eventually use. As a side note, I don’t think that the tempered glass is overkill. Here in Michigan, it’s a code requirement for that type of installation.
Thanks Bernie, yeah it seemed like the safest route to go tempered. Hope you and your family are all doing well during this craziness. Stay safe my friend
Good job on the door Doug, those horses look well made and useful 👍😊
Thanks Tony, Yeah I'm really liking them. They are nice and solid and can handle the weight of my heavy doors with no problem at all
Looks awesome
Thanks DQ!!
Looks great Doug! Stay cool down there in AZ
Thanks Tim, yeah it's been a brutal summer this year. Can't wait for it to start cooling off. I'm thinking I might need to find some property some place cooler that I can travel to for the summer months
Great project Doug! Looks like you are pretty busy judging by the projects in the background!
Yes, I have been very fortunate that business has been very steady for me despite the 2020 craziness
Awesome work keep up the great craftsmanship and work make on my friend
Greatly appreciated Jared
Artfully Rogue ur very welcome my friend
Nice build Doug, great idea for the rectangular tubing. Lowes has their Kobalt brand version of that sawhorse, best I've used so far. Greetings to Robin, something tells me he's not camera shy 😂
He pretends to be, but he has a background the movie industry in South Africa so you'll see more of him in front of the camera :)
thanks for the informative video im going to try put glass in a 20 ft shipping container in the 2 door frames hopefully using some of your ideas
Sounds like a great project
this was exactly what i was looking for..
nice job! how does that weather foam behaves with rain by the way?
Make a pair of adjustable height spit roast ends. Can clamp jobs like door on ,turn to weld more comfortably. Plus easy to weld both sides. Use them on trailer frames in Oz all the time. Make out of shop scrap. Save the old apprentices back. Plus less odd position welding needed.
Cool thanks for the tip! I'll have to give that a try for sure
This is a great video. I had a barn door style interior doors made for closets. They are iron or metal not sure which. They have 6 squares for windows. They are heavy doors, which will slide open and close. I want to install a frosted glass into the squares. I do not have an extra frame to add to the install of each window, and these are interior, so I am not worried about insulation for these windows. What are my options for installing without the frame? Can they be glued, would I use another material for them to be installed. Each space in the door is equal in size, 24 1/8 x 14 1/2 per opening in the frame. Any recomendations would be welcomed! Thank you!
Great work gentleman! - Impressed. How much would you charge for it. I have a smilier project. But a top sliding arm window has to be installed in regular size iron door.
I typically price my doors based on square foot. I believe I priced this one somewhere between $75 -$85 per sq foot
Doug, This video was super helpful. What supplier do you use to find that type of metal (1/8 steel rolled)?
The supplier I use is called Advanced Metal Supply in North Phoenix
Those saw horses are pretty rad looking.... let us know how they hold up
So far I'm real pleased with them. They're sturdy and easy to store when not in use which saves shop space.
I have used those saw horses for years. I also have a welding shop and they are plenty sturdy. Purchased at Home Depot and have never regretted it.
Awesome work! What kind of oil was that? I love that look!
Thank you very much Randy. I just used regular cutting oil.
Lovely Projekt! How thick is the steel panel? Thank u!😊
I used 1/8" thick hot rolled steel sheet
I’m saying this is beautiful door. I’m interested in the metal frame that holds the glass. Do you have a video thereof. We normally see putty than metal.
Thanks
No, sorry just this video
As you were assembling the glass, I was wondering what kind of finish was going on the door. I was thinking one of your rust treatments would look pretty cool. As built, it looks okay but it just seems like that last step is missing. Of course, I'm not the one writing the check so my opinion doesn't really matter.
I like what you did to save weight. I wouldn't have even thought of that. My brain says a big steel door is going to be heavy, just buy the lightest gauge box available. You went a step beyond. Good work.
Thanks so much for the reply Roger. While I really like using rust as finish , I also like the look of mill scale. I use it on my reception desk a good deal. I think it might have been cool to do something different with the big panel under the glass. Maybe do an acid/peroxide rust
I have the lower model of those saw horses but next time I'd definitely go for the extendable legs. One point, I'm no glass expert but I thought you would have put some cushioning strip on the non-removable side as well. You don't think it could be an issue?
There actually is foam on the non removable side, there's a just a quick shot of it though
@@ArtfullyRogue ahh, good to know I wasn't off in my thinking. Thanks.
I'm a metal fabricator specializing in custom built vintage motorcycles and restorations. I've been wanting to build a similar steel door for my own home for some time now. I've always thought I would be much happier with a heavier steel door than a solid wood door. I have a question though, do you insulate the door in any way? Thanks for your time and a great video.
I would think spray foam would be what to use in that situation. You could also use foam board. If it's an exterior, which I'm assuming it is, I would suggest for the bottom panel, having 2 layers with some insulation there as well instead of the single panel
what the price tag for that?
The beanie url gives a 404 error. 😞
When customer said he wants the door to look natural, I don't think he meant that you leave those grinded spots visible. That is just plain ugly.
Thanks for your input however despite your opinion, the grind spots were specific to what the client requested. This is why I do custom work because even if I may not be a fan of a particular look or feature, listening to the client and their request is one of the keys to my business success.
It is strange what people request and like. Coat of black matte paint and some clear coat and it would have been a showroom piece.
It's all just a matter of preference.
@@ArtfullyRogue about 90% of the doors ive made have been raw steel with the grinded spots visible, definitely not an ugly choice
