I want to renovate my front door.
I am comfortable with preparing filling and painting the door but am not sure how to replace broken glass and lead.
Can anyone outline the steps?

Is that a single pain of glass with the lead stuck on?
It's not 4 separate pains?
 
It’s 4 separate panes.
My worry is the lead is cracking in places and feels brittle.
Not quite sure if the leading needs replacing too.
 
I’d contact a lead glass specialist.
I doubt it would cost much and if that’s a front door, they could suggest a reinforced glass backing for the door
