aluminium patio door ? how to get the glass out??

[littlebaz]

does anyone know how to get glass out of a aluminium patio door I cant see where the beading is to take out ?? would I have to take the sliding door out and take it all to pieces just to get the glass out??
Im only used to dealing with UPVC .!! or am I being daft and missing a trick.

any help would be appreciated thank you

Normally yes, if you can take a photo then we can tell you

It will be what is called a "wrap around" system. The doors are made around the glass.

You need to take the entire door out of the frame and take it apart. The glass is what keeps the aluminium square around the door. No beads.

I did it the weekend and yeah it is a wrap around system, really easy to do so thanks everyone for the advice
