did anyone cut the hole into their glass door themselves? Or is that a job for a professional? Thanks.

For 2 doors I bought, the option was to hire a profesional to install in : a) a kitchen glass, b) a kitchen door (aluminum).

The glass is glued into the door so if this is something you were looking to do yourself then it may be difficult. I did not see an option to buy it with different glass types. The glass looks pretty good though. People that have seen it so far like it. Be careful if you want to use this as a tabletop unit as the door is too heavy and it tips. So it has to be mounted in order to avoid that. I was disappointed with that fact as it looks like it is meant to sit on the tabletop rather than mount to the wall.

I didn't get any instructions with the porduct on how to replace the glass. I got the information and know how by looking at videos of the process on you tube. After watching a couple of videos I realized that the most difficult part was removing all the glue from the previous glass . I managed to change the glass and was pleased with the outcome, however I had some difficulty getting the replaced glass to remain stuck on the phone. I eventually brought from amazon some micro 2 sided tape that I placed on the complete edge of the replaced glass and that did the trick. Good luck.

No.. but i just used a pair of sharp scissors to cut an opening once they were installed.

I used a 1/4 in glass drill bit. It takes a while and I suggest using plenty of water or soap while drilling but it turns out really nice.

Well, I don't know exactly what your carpentry skills are ... that would be a big project. Do you mean to cut a square into the glass? Hmmm, I really don't think that it would work. It makes a small window of its own. We have ours in a thick cabin wall. The pieces screw into the wood. why don't you try for a specialty window pet door that comes together with a plexiglass insert, if there is such a thing. If you're an apartment dweller, one time I made a pet door in glass sliding door using a tall piece of plexiglass with the pet rectangle cut into it, and I duck-taped a piece of carpet to flap down as the pet door. it actually worked pretty well.

I would recommend buying one considering they're so cheap. I did cut mine up quite a bit, and the frame makes sure that glass sits evenly. So I would just incase. It will only take a couple more minutes just to replace

No. I would suggest using locktite glass glue that is what professionals use.

My husband was easily able to cut this down. He put it on the door, marked it with a sharpie and used a hack saw. It works fine!

There is no glass door. You may be able to place a piece of glass for each door. There is a slight curve in the shape of the door which could pose some problems for inserting glass.

Bottom line, yes the overall job is difficult.I shattered my original glass cover when removing it with a suction cup and heat gun. Warning: the original screen cover is real glass and did actually shatter like a car window (glass didn't fly everywhere and is adhered to a plastic film but was sharp). Be prepared to buy another cover or have one on hand during the job. Take your time with the suction cup, heat gun, and guitar picks. Don't force the glass screen cover off and let the heat gun melt the adhesive.Once you have the glass cover off the swap is easy and straight forward. This LCD fixed my flickering display issue. There is a good tutorial on one of the i fixit websites. Bottom line, yes the overall job is difficult.I shattered my original glass cover when removing it with a suction cup and heat gun.

You are not allowed to make a hole or you don't have the right tools? I used a small cordless drill to make small starter holes for the supplied screws to go into on the steel door I installed this on. Otherwise the only thing you could do is use some really strong glue and clamps. Something like epoxy or E6000.

Without seeing the window I really don't know. There are 2 parts to the door that have to be fastened together, so I don't know how you would do it with glass unless you could fastened it to the wooden frame of the window.

No, it's just a hole in the glass lined with metal. There's no screw mechanism or anything else that would close the opening.

Yes it is...I found it very easy to replace the glass. Just take your time and be patient. I was able to fix mine in 15 mins. If you need further help, id be happy to give you my email if you need it.

I drilled a small hole through the broken piece all the way to the door to add pin (same size as drill bit) between the two. I then used JB Weld to fill the void and epoxy the broken part back on to the door. Clean all excess before it dries and hardens. After it all dries, use a black permanent marker to blend it back to black. Then use this bracket to make sure it doesn't happen again.

There is no glass on the door. I am not sure about attaching glass. I like it better without the glass though.
