How to replace a PVC door panel
To order direct from Windoor, please visit our online store - windoorservices.net/?route=product/category&path=77_105
A video to show how to remove and replace a PVC door panel.
The steps go as followed;
1) First remove the beading that holds the glass or uPVC panel in place. The beading can be removed by pushing a stuff putty knife or similar into the beads leading edge and gently easing the bead out (We recommend removing the longer beads first, and also maybe mark the beads left, right and so on because they can vary in size).
2) With the beading removed, gently remove the panel.
3) Measure the overall thickness of the panel; this will either be 20mm, 24mm or 28mm.
4) Measure the overall width and height of the panel.
5) Now to order the panel, this can be done by searching Windoor on eBay or Amazon and choosing the size required (in terms of the thickness, width and height of panel. Also we supply panel at 750mm square, but we cut to size for free).
6) Before fitting, remember to remove the protective film on both sides of the panel.
7) The panel can now be slotted into the door (remember to place packers in the bottom of the hole where the panel is going, as seen in the video). The beading is the final part, and is needed to be clipped into place, and tapped in using a soft glazing hammer and we recommend fitting the shorter beads in before the long ones).
if any more assistance is needed, ring us here at Windoor Services on; 01656 745050.

Thank you, this was a big help, and saved us a lot of money, as we had found a spare panel of the right size in the garage!😊❤
Thank you
Just what I needed to know! Much appreciated for the video. Thank you.
This video has been extremely helpful thank you
Was that the theme tune for "man about the house" ?
I've just had to remove my cat flap and this is going to save me about £350 in total, maybe more. Cheers.
Perfect, thanks
What a crap door, a teen could kick that in.
Useful content....awful music.
"Spanish Flea" 💪🎵
Now how do you change the glass panel?
Thank you so much x We rent our place, it was agreed we could install a catflap. But it was agreed we would have to replace the lower panel again before we leave. This will be so much cheaper than having to pay someone to do it :) I'm sure you have made it look easy though. I'm expecting much swearing when we have to do it ourselves,but thanks for for this, I'll keep it bookmarked x
Did you manage to do it yourself?
I’m planning to do the same thing.
Great video apart from the excruciating musical accompaniment...
Thank you so much,really helpful! 😁
Great vid. Thank you for uploading👍
Great video, looks so much easier than I thought. Excellent thank you!
Get rid of that annoying music why don't you!
Excellent video. Thank you !
have a question, i need to replace my glass insert panel with a plain reinforced panel which i have slightly oversize, can you tell me the best way of cutting said oversized panel.
Great vid, just what I needed to know, please make more vids, thanks for sharing your expertise
This task is a bit like a Haynes Manual. Simple remove and do etc etc... The video was very helpful but don't expect things to go as smoothly as you see in the video....
Perfect timing for me to see this!! Want to get rid of the cat flap in new house door and was quoted over 800£ to replace door with similar style.. Can do this for under 30..
why does the music make me feel so happy?
Poor video. Tried for an hour using the tools suggested and all ending up doing was wrecking the heading.
maybe on older door have a gasket outside you need to move
Presumably you van replace the solid panel with a double glazed unit too? Thanks for making it look easy anyway!
Awesome thanks. Needed to put a doggie door into a profile panel so now I can buy a completely flat panel fit the doggy door first then whack the whole thing into the main door. Fabbylicious.
Great music😂
Haha, if only it was that easy. The beading in most doors will not come away like that, it sets solid.
Love a bit of Spanish Flea amazing sounds track. Cracking video also.
Will this be as easy if there’s metal inside the door? Also where do you get the spaces and packers from and do they have to be used?
Local company merstham glass quoted me over £100 to do this 😂
That’s pretty cheap, no? £40 for the panel and a couple of hours labour.
So basically you swap out the panel the same way you take out a glass panel from pvc windows
Can it be removed from outside
Nice tune :) And great video.
What da faq that all it takes to remove a door pannel ? I know that it might only be removable from the inside of the door but surley a kick will pop that out ?
Yep - that's the problem with UPVC lower panels....
we have a guy in our house doing this job for us (second visit!). He's been nearly an hour already :/ feel like i have done it myself by now with a penknife
Never liked that tune
didnt pack the panel correctly and covered drainage holes. quality job.
So do it yourself , go to woodprix page and learn how .
Hi, the biggest supplier of PVC/WPC panels laminating machine, heat transfer machine and UV printing line and coating line here, freely contact me if any request.
Used the exact same tools and technique shown and the panel and the beading are as solid as a rock and not moving at all....somehow I knew that would happen.
Same 🤣
Yep same lol
can the panel be removed from the outside allowing someone to break in to your home. I have a similar door and this is a concern
Yes, I was thinking the exact same thing. Has made me feel quite worried at just how easy they are to remove!
No, the beading (the strips you remove from the bottom and sides in order to remove the panel) is generally on the inside rather than the outside so no-one can break in that way.

Aha! Yes, I see now. Thanks.
No the panel CANNOT be removed from the outside it's can only be removed from the INSIDE so there's nothing to worry about
We have a cat flap and I want to replace the panel so it's gone, how much would it cost roughly so that I know I am paying about the right price please? Thanks!
You can get replacement panels on eBay etc. I bought one for around £35 I think.
Shouldn't you toe and heel the panel?
Hi, can I remove a glass panel in the same way and then replace it with a upvc panel? Looking at a cheap way to put a cat flap in. Thanks
+towns84 yes, most beading can be removed this way, and replaced with either panel or glass. Cat flap through a panel is the most popular way to do it (with cost and ease of cutting the panel). Any other queries, please contact us at sales@windoorservices.net and we'll help out any way we can :)
How would i measure for the new panel if it replacing glass? Or does the glass come out like a block too? Its double Glazed but i want the plastic so i can cut a cat flap
The music rocks!..would make any job enjoyable!
Thanks for posting this. Very helpful(I need to fit a cat flap).
Fabulous video - just what I was looking for, as I want to put a cat flap in the lower panel - thank you for the exact information that I needed :-D
Thank.........goodness..........for this video......Just had to smash my door after loosing my keys. The ENTIRE door is a "panel" and after I smashed it in, I had no idea how re-thingy the panel back in place. Now my door handel doesnt work. Any advice on that?
+Quick Jack Please contact us at sales@windoorservices.net and we will help out any way we can.
Get a composite door
Great music - very Benny Hill. Gives me confidence to replace panel
+Richard Veys The music is more like "Casanova '73" - Leslie Phillips lol
Its Spanish flea by herb alpert
thank you for this, now about to remove old panel, measure and order new one with more confidence than before!
