Whether it&#8217;s a result of an accident, a storm, or an unexpected break-in, a broken glass door can be a source of anxiety and potential danger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only does it compromise the security of your home or business, but it also poses a risk of injury. But fear not, for we have you covered with a step-by-step guide on how to handle such situations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s What You Need to Do When a Glass Door Breaks<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nStep 1: Keep the Area Safe<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nYour immediate priority should be safety.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Isolate the Area:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Start by keeping children, pets, and unaware adults away from the vicinity. Use caution tape or makeshift barriers, like chairs or tables, to block off the area.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Alert Others:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the door is at a commercial property, place a sign to inform customers or staff about the hazard. In residential settings, inform all household members.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Secure the Door:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> If the door is still hanging on its hinges, try to secure it to prevent further breakage or potential accidents. This might involve using duct tape to hold pieces together temporarily or locking the door in place.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 2: Carefully Clean Up Any Broken Glass<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nBefore you dive into the cleanup, equip yourself with the right tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Safety First:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wear safety gloves and sturdy shoes. Consider wearing safety goggles to protect your eyes from flying shards.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Gather Tools:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Use a broom to sweep up the larger pieces. A vacuum with a hose attachment can help with smaller shards. For those hard-to-reach places, a piece of bread or damp paper towel can be pressed gently against the floor.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Disposal:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Always dispose of the broken glass in a cardboard box or thick paper bag. Seal the container and mark it clearly as &#8220;Broken Glass&#8221; before discarding it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step 3: Hire a Contractor<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\nOnce the immediate danger is addressed, it&#8217;s time to think about a more permanent solution. Look for services that offer emergency glass repair. Read reviews, ask for recommendations, and ensure they have a good track record. When contacting a contractor, ask if they have experience with the type of door you have, whether it&#8217;s sliding, French, or <\/span><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/primeglasswindows.com\/commercial-door-repair\/\">commercial glass doors<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6782\" src=\"https:\/\/primeglasswindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prime-glass-and-door-repair-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"prime glass and door repair\" width=\"525\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/primeglasswindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prime-glass-and-door-repair-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/primeglasswindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prime-glass-and-door-repair-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/primeglasswindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prime-glass-and-door-repair-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/primeglasswindows.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/prime-glass-and-door-repair.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also important to check if the repair or replacement can be covered by your business or home insurance.
