Glass Orlando specializes in commercial storefront door glass replacement for retail stores, restaurants, offices, medical suites, shopping centers, and managed commercial properties across Orlando and Central Florida.
We replace:
broken storefront door glass
shattered aluminum entry door glass
cracked business entrance panels
glass in single and double commercial doors
sidelite glass beside storefront doors
tempered safety glass
laminated security glass
damaged glass after break-ins or impact
replacement glass in existing commercial aluminum door systems
Our focus on this page is the door and entrance glass itself. If the damaged glass is a large fixed storefront display panel rather than part of the door or entry assembly, use our storefront glass repair page.
We regularly replace glass in aluminum storefront doors used by:
retail shops
restaurants and cafés
salons and service businesses
medical and dental offices
professional offices
shopping centers
strip plazas
hotels and hospitality properties
managed commercial buildings
Typical calls involve:
shattered lower or full-height door glass
impact damage from carts, equipment, or objects
cracked glass after forced entry
damaged glass that is loose in the frame
older non-safety glass that needs replacement
mismatched previous repairs
door glass that needs to coordinate with adjacent sidelites
The goal is to restore the commercial entrance without automatically replacing the entire aluminum door when the door itself remains usable.
For problems involving the closer, pivot, hinge, or door operation rather than the glass, visit our door closers, pivots & hinges page.
Depending on the opening and existing system, replacement options may include:
tempered safety glass
laminated safety glass
clear commercial glass
tinted safety glass
insulated safety glass where the door system requires it
impact-rated configurations for selected openings
Tempered and laminated glass behave differently when broken, so the correct product depends on the existing system, code requirements, security concerns, and use of the entrance.
We measure:
door lite dimensions
glass thickness
tint
glazing pocket
stops and gasketing
neighboring glass appearance
The replacement should fit the existing aluminum system properly and look consistent with the surrounding entry whenever practical.
For broader commercial safety and impact-glass applications beyond door entrances, visit our commercial safety & impact glass page.
Commercial sidelites can crack, shatter, loosen, or become mismatched after previous repairs. We replace sidelite glass beside:
aluminum storefront doors
office-suite entrances
restaurant entries
medical-office doors
retail storefront doors
lobby entrances
vestibules
When replacing a commercial sidelite, we consider:
safety-glass requirements
glass thickness
tint
adjacent door glass
surrounding storefront sightlines
aluminum framing condition
This is different from a full storefront-panel replacement. On this page, the emphasis stays on glass immediately associated with the commercial entrance door.
For narrow glass inside the door itself or glass positioned above the entry, visit our vision lite & transom glass page.
Commercial door-glass emergencies may involve:
forced-entry damage
vandalism
overnight break-ins
accidental impact
shattered restaurant entry doors
broken retail doors
cracked office-suite entrances
damaged commercial sidelites
If permanent replacement glass is not immediately available, we can secure the opening and measure for the correct replacement.
The sequence may include:
make the entrance safe
remove loose hazardous glass where appropriate
temporarily secure the opening
measure the commercial door lite or sidelite
order the required glass
return for permanent installation
For a business opening that needs temporary protection immediately, use our board-up services page.
This page is primarily for glass replacement, including:
broken door lite
cracked full-height door glass
shattered sidelite
loose or unsafe glazing
mismatched door glass
safety-glass replacement
But if the door is:
slamming
dragging
sagging
rubbing the threshold
refusing to latch
closing too slowly
not staying aligned
the problem may involve the closer, pivots, hinges, threshold, or frame alignment instead.
For mechanical door problems, visit our door closers, pivots & hinges page.
Commercial storefront doors often use safety glass, which may need to be fabricated rather than cut from ordinary stock.
Typical timing:
common cuttable glass: may be available sooner when appropriate
tempered glass: typically about 2–4 business days
insulated commercial glass: typically about 8–10 business days
laminated glass: typically about 8–10 business days
impact-rated glass: typically about 8–10 business days
specialty tint or unusual configurations: varies by manufacturer and availability
If the opening is exposed while fabricated glass is being prepared, temporary securing may be necessary.
We replace storefront door glass for:
retail boutiques
restaurants
cafés
bars
salons
spas
medical offices
dental offices
professional suites
hotels
shopping centers
multi-tenant plazas
managed commercial properties
For these businesses, broken entrance glass affects more than appearance. It can interfere with opening hours, access, security, customer confidence, and daily traffic.
Glass Orlando focuses on restoring the door opening itself while coordinating around business operations whenever practical.
For recurring glass and door service across multiple units or locations, visit our property management glass & door maintenance page.
Business owners and property managers commonly value:
quick response when an entrance is broken
clear photo-based initial review
knowing whether the door glass can be replaced without changing the entire door
proper safety-glass selection
accurate commercial-door measurements
realistic tempered and laminated-glass lead times
clean removal of damaged glass
careful installation around existing aluminum frames and hardware
dependable follow-up after emergency board-up

Yes. If the aluminum door, rails, stiles, and glazing system remain serviceable, Glass Orlando can often replace the damaged glass without replacing the entire commercial door.
Commercial doors commonly use safety glazing such as tempered or laminated glass. The exact requirement depends on the opening, existing system, glass size, location, and applicable safety requirements.
Tempered glass typically requires fabrication and commonly takes approximately 2–4 business days, depending on size, thickness, tint, and manufacturer availability.
Laminated and insulated commercial units generally require longer fabrication. Typical lead time is approximately 8–10 business days, depending on the configuration and supplier.
Yes. We replace many commercial sidelites adjacent to aluminum entry doors and can match thickness, tint, and safety-glass requirements as closely as practical.
That may be a hardware or alignment problem rather than a glass problem. Glass Orlando also services commercial door closers, pivots, hinges, thresholds, and related entrance hardware.
Yes. Narrow vision-lite panels and transom glass are handled as well, with a dedicated page for those smaller commercial-entry glass types.
Yes. If the opening cannot be permanently glazed immediately, emergency board-up or temporary securing may be used until the correct replacement glass is ready.
We identify the existing glass and work to match tint, thickness, and appearance as closely as practical using currently available material.
