Hey everyone! This is such a cool DIY upgrade for a fraction of the cost!
I took out the half moon window and added in this beautiful updated window insert. The project took me under 3 hours and I would rate it beginner-intermediate. The process behind it is simple but you do have to use a jigsaw and be confident in cutting through your door.
I would love to see someone do this to a door that had no window at all. Maybe to an old wood door. That would be stunning! For now I just updated this standard 6 panel door and I am loving it.
Youll need:
-Window Insert
-Measuring Tape
-Painters Tape
-Pencil
-Straight Edge
-Jigsaw
-Drill
I plan to paint this door and add a new handle. I think that will set it off so nicely!

I had no idea you could do this. Knowing that the jigsaw blade wouldn't cut all the way through, I probably would have drilled 4 small holes in each corner that went through the entire door and then lined up the tape using those as a marker on the other side (anything to avoid measuring and screwing up). Great project and it looks amazing.

That’s a great tip!! Hopefully someone wondering / worried about their measurements reads the comments. It’s quite a difference hey?

I have what looks like the same door as yours. I have been measuring the door and comparing the size of inserts available 22 X 36 . That size doesn't seem to quite fit from the top to bottom. Did you order a custom size?

@dcwoodworks Месяц назад

No I didn’t. I got a stocked one. Is your door larger??

@MaryStrang-ln5iz Месяц назад

@dcwoodworks no just my measuring skills. I just wanted to be sure, and going to give it a try . Thx

All i see is a security problem, someone can break the glass and get it easier. it looks nice though

Really? If you think that way then so is every single window in your home. If you break that. You’ll hear it just as easily if they broke any other window We also have two 100lb pups that wouldn’t let anyone pass 🤭
