    Hello. I have a hardwood door (hopefully you can see in the picture) with a mottled privacy glass on the top panel. I want to allow more light into the room and noticed the bottom 2 panels could probably house glazing if I removed the timber. As it will be exposed to the elements, I may just give this to someone in the know to work on this.

    Would it be a carpenter I need to work on this, or would it be a glazer?

    Also, am I right in saying I can just remove the timber from the panels and replace with glazing? Obviously I'll add moulding around the edge the hold it thansk

    By the time you'd be finished routing out the rebates and cleaning it down then getting glazing and all the messing you could probably buy a misfit door as cheap.

    This might make it easier to interfere with the locking mechanism.

    As it is at low level, ensure the glass is laminated - you don't want someone falling through a plate glass door and killing themselves.

    The only problem with this is I'm finding hard to find that size door second hand. And with full glazing. The door size is 805mm x 1980mm (32'x78'?) is this a standard size door?

    That's a munster joinery door. They have 2 sizes. Measure from the highest point to lowest point. Same with the width. Widest to widest. You should be able to get a door leaf easily enough. Might even have one in the shed. PM me if you want more info
