Not every chip means a new door. Here's how we triage the call: tempered safety glass, hardware, and what's actually fixable.
Five common situations and the typical right answer for each.
Tempered glass can't be repaired once cracked — it has to be replaced. The good news: usually just the broken panel, not the whole enclosure.
Hard water etching looks like permanent fog. Polishing helps lightly etched glass; deeply pitted glass needs replacement.
Almost always a sweep or seal problem — much cheaper than a new door.
If the hardware is corroded or the look is dated, a fresh semi-frameless door is the lowest-cost modern upgrade.
We also fabricate replacement glass for tables, shelves and cabinet doors — tempered, polished and delivered to size.
We always triage first. If a $250 sweep solves it, we'll tell you — replacements are only worth it when the glass itself is the problem.
