About five years ago my wife and I had an addition put onto our home. The builder used a MasterCraft exterior door for the entrance. It is wooden with a metal clad four panel and two lite.

The lites have both completely seperated from the door allowing cold, heat, bees and any other possible invader to enter our home.

I'm looking for a way to repair the door as I can't afford to replace it due to finances. If you have any ideas please share them with me. Thanks!

Pry away the molding around the glass, Take glass out,clean thouroughly, put it back together and use proper adhesive to put on wood moldings around glass inside and out.Predrill wood moldings (1/8)just at the bottom of glass ( where the shim space should be)to allow any moisture to escape.

hope this helps www.probuildersmall.com

08mueller - thanks for the tips on fixing my door. I had already determined to do something of that nature when I am physically able.

I'm not certain I have a clear picture on what you suggest with predrilling the holes. Could you expand upon that when you have time?

Thanks for your advise!

If you go to the Menards store and get a blue complaint form, they will send it to Midwest Manufacturing. If you provide the picture that is posted on here, they will send you two new windows to your home. It's relatively easy. Just so you know!

Poor junk quality. Disgusted esp if it's American-made. No excuse. All 5 of our BRAND NEW mastercrap french doors leaked (seals broke on the inside)...so horribly... rain ran down into the drywall & foundation. We HATE mastercraft products. Buyer BEWARE. Menards does not address the situation and could care less...passes the buck to Midwest Manufacturing. They do NOTHING. I will NEVER buy Mastercraft again. Spread the word to save others pocketbooks! See Pic of water pouring in from the interior side of the door! How in the heck does that happen?!
