Doorlite rims are the plastic moldings that hold glass into the door.  Many customers call wanting to replace a warped, cracked or deteriorated doorlite rim.  This kit provides everything you need to quickly and easily extend the life of your door by replacing the rims in an economical way.  You'll need a screwdriver, a putty knife to help the old rim off the exterior of your door, and some high quality silicone caulk.  Also, our rim replacement kits come standard with the new high-temperature rims that won't discolor or warp behind the heat of a storm door, so they will last much longer than the older rims.

In order to replace your rims (they are sold as sets), we will need to know the approximate outside dimensions of your rims (width and height), as well as the exact overall thickness of your insulated glass.  You will need to unscrew part or all of the interior doorlite rim (make sure it doesn't fall out!) to get a ruler or tape measure on the edge of the glass.  It will measure either 1/2", 3/4" or a full 1".  Then call us at 800-871-8907 with all three dimensions, and be sure to tell us if your doorlite is arched, oval, or not a standard rectangle.  We'll try to find a rim set that will work for your door, but you will have a few extra steps.  You will need to separate your old exterior rim from your glass, and clean the glass.  Then you'll need to caulk the new exterior rim (the one without the screw holes) to the glass.  After that cures, you will need to lay a bead of caulk in the outside groove of the lite rim to seal the rim to the door.  From there, the installation is the same as for a doorlite replacement kit.

Below are the two most popular sizes of doorlite rims.  They can be ordered on the BUY NOW page. All other doorlite rim sizes must be ordered by calling us at 800-871-8907.  If your measurements do not come within 1/2" of the given dimensions, please call us about your order-- you may have a narrow or abnormal size.
