Hello
This Aladdin Contour Serial # 1071705 was made Dec 2000 just 25 years young and works like new! :-)
There are 2 Phillip head machine screws 8-32 X 3/8” long that hold the glass door hinge in the pellet stove. Just regular metal screws painted black. As I was getting the stove going this year the top head broke off! The bottom head had already snapped off so the whole door came off and just the threads were left! Therefore I laid the door down and soaked the threads for 2-3 days with PB Blaster. :-) Luckily using long nose pliers, I gripped the threads hard enough so I could just unscrew them from the bottom. They came out quite easily without damaging the threads. Ace Hardware had nice Stainless Steel machine screws for 45 cents each or total $0.90
