How Mr-Glass Products Fail – and How We Fix Them

• Fogged glass on the MR-100 series: The MR-100 entry line used a dual-pane insulated unit with a perimeter seal that breaks down under LA’s thermal swings. Sun hits the door all afternoon, the seal degrades, moisture creeps in, and you get that permanent haze. We remove the old insulated glass unit, inspect the frame for rot or flex, and set a new sealed unit rated for full-sun exposure.
• Sagging slab on heavier Mr-Glass doors with sidelites: Doors built with oversized glass panels put real weight on the hinges. Over eight to ten years the top hinge starts to pull, the slab drops a quarter inch, and the strike plate no longer lines up. We pull the door, reinforce the hinge mortises, and re-hang with longer screws into the framing – not just the jamb.
• Threshold rot at the sill on ground-level installs: In neighborhoods like Los Feliz and Silver Lake, older Mr-Glass doors were set directly on concrete slabs without proper sill pan flashing. A few wet winters and the bottom rail swells. We rebuild the sill with a sloped pan, correct any drainage issues, and set a new door that sheds water away from the house instead of into it.
• Warping on Mr-Glass doors with full glazing: A door that is mostly glass has less stile material to hold it square. Direct afternoon sun on a west-facing entry heats the frame unevenly, and the slab develops a bow. We check the slab with a straightedge, confirm the warp, and replace the door with a stiffer stile-and-rail construction when we order the new unit.
• Failed weatherstripping on the MR-200 series: The factory sweep and jamb seals on MR-200 doors harden in LA’s dry heat and ozone. Once the seal goes flat, you get drafts, dust, and road noise from the street. We replace the full weatherstripping system – sweep, jamb flaps, and header seal – so the door closes tight against wind and wildfire smoke season.

Our Mr-Glass Front Door Replacement Process

1. 1
   Measure and inspect: We measure the rough opening, check the slab for warp, and note the frame condition. This tells us whether the old frame can stay or needs rebuilding before we order anything.
2. 2
   Parts decision: If the Mr-Glass door is a current production model, we order OEM through our supplier channels. If the line is discontinued, we match it with a quality aftermarket equivalent that fits the same opening without modifying the structure.
3. 3
   Written quote: Before any tool comes off the truck, you get a line-item price covering materials, labor, haul-away, and any frame repair. That number does not change once we start.
4. 4
   Removal and frame inspection: We pull the old door, inspect the rough opening for rot or settling, and correct any framing issues. This is where Spencer’s rule applies – measure twice, order once – then make sure the opening was built to code in the first place.
5. 5
   Set, seal, and test: The new door goes in level, square, and properly flashed. We set the hardware, adjust the strike, and test swing, latch, and seal. You watch it work before we leave.
6. 6
   Guarantee and cleanup: Every Mr-Glass replacement carries our written workmanship guarantee and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Old door and packaging are hauled away. The entry is broom-clean.
