Patio Door Smashed

[Patek23]

So, last night around 10pm the inside pane of our patio door shattered with a loud bang. Nothing was near it or hit it, so I’m not sure how it happened. Luckily it’s shattered intact though. Does anyone know what my fastest way to fix this is? I’ve been calling glass companies all night and morning (I’m in Calgary). I have 2 100+ dogs and a toddler who loves to go where he’s not supposed too. All the companies I’ve spoke too quote us a week to order in the glass. Does anyone kno my alternatives? Or a faster company? Because of how hard it will be to keep dogs and kids away from this door I’d even replace the entire sliding door if it meant for it to be faster but I haven’t found a company that can do that either. Thanks!

Shattered intact meaning the glass stayed in the door frame? If so why not cover it with cardboard so nobody gets hurt until the new door arrives? If anybody tries to get in those dogs will make them wish they hadn’t.

You obviously have a poltergeist, I would move immediately!

Plywood until you can get the glass replaced is your best bet?

Use as much duct tape as possible to hold the glass together when you have to remove it.

Several years ago my wife and daughter were sitting in the family room, and the glass on the end table into thousands of pieces. The largest one was the size of tiny pea. They weren't even near it. Damn Swedish glass...

So you have a poltergeist, and your name is flaming homer.

Does this end any way other than the house getting burnt down?

Maybe try Goldray...they are a glass manufacturer in town. Might get it quicker.
