Dutchwest 2462 Conundrum

[serenejames]

Hi Guys,

I've been looking at these forums for a few months and really appreciate the back and forth and wealth of information there is to find.

I have a specific issue. My fiance loaded wood in the stove facing the glass and slammed the front door shut and broke the front glass.

I know where to go get some cut and what kind of glass it needs to be. The biggest issue I am having is that even though I know the OEM number (7001161) for the glass and where to find the manufacturers manual - no one seems to list the dimensions of the glass.

Mine is not available to measure so I'm at a loss of how to get the dimensions.
\
I wanted to reach out here and see if anyone has the same stove and would be so kind as to provide me with the dimensions or connect me with a resource to find the size.

Many thanks in advance and I look forward to participating more in here.

Many thanks,

Serene James

I have a 2460 so the glass is a different size. When this load burns down I'll open the door and get some pics of how far the glass overhangs the door frame. I don't think the size would be too critical, as long as you leave a little room between the glass and the recessed edges of the door frame.

I guess the cost savings is worth it vs. buying a direct replacement?

A quick search and I found this:

Might be enough, the other thing you may be able to do is make a template out of cardboard.

I saw this earlier and the glass shop wants more information.

Would they take a carboard template? Can you bring them the door?

Bingo.

I'm bringing the door in there when I'm off work. Any idea how to clean the creosote off the screws?

Nice!

Wire brush should do it. Probably not a bad idea to replace the glass gasket too. While you've got the wire brush out, give the area where the class gasket sits a good cleaning.

I guess it's cheaper because it doesn't have the IR coating like OEM. I'm not sure what that IR coating is supposed to do...?

We cut all our own glass. All we need is the door, we cut to fit, regasket and install same day.
Have you tried a local hearth shop?

Is the issue with your fiance breaking the glass or that she loaded the stove ?

This ended up being the solution.

I took the door off and brought it to a local glass shop. They cut the glass and we had it one the stove in under 30 mins.
