Some companies will sell the blinds separate. ODL is the main glass supplier for Reliabuilt and Stanly (Lowe's and Home Depot's primary door brand, respectively). Most french doors have the same lite size and can be switched out (just remember to seal it properly). Three options:

First, find out all information about your doors. Size (doors and rough opening), material (steel, fiberglass), style (full lite/15-lite/10-lite). The associate should be able to get it for you with that information.

Second, ODL makes a set of blinds that attach to full lite doors. This only works with full lites (or lots of work).

Third, measure the current glass piece in three spots. Outside (the plastic part) frame, inside frame, and (after removing the whole glass very carefully) measure the whole, including thickness.

With that information you should be able to get on from Home Depot, Lowe's or whomever you have in your area.

How do I know? I work one of those above mentioned stores.
