Our  7 year old grandson fell out of bed and put his elbow through the oven  outer door  door.  (sea of glass - still picking it out of the carpet)  The immaculate and efficient oven is   a 15 years old  - made by    Stove - and they dont make it any more. 
It is suggested that we have to replace the whole cooker.    I have looked at various    stove front  glass companies with a view to having a piece cut for £69. On a "white goods" site  it is said that you cannot have glass cut for an outer oven door as it
has to be made to measure.  ie  if you try to cut that kind of glass it would shatter.   I cant beleive that I shall have to replace this  very efficient oven for the sake of a piece of glass  36 x 45 cms,      There are  companies willing to cut  me  heat
resistant glass of the type used for   stoves  (  heat up to 1000 degrees..)   for about £70 - but I am afraid that it might  not be the right thing to do and I dont want to create a dangerous situation or invalidate my insurance.

The article also said that  Stoves ovens have the glass "stuck" in -    which sounds like it requires a professional to do -  but   the sealant is  available.

I have tried caravan breakers  for a door, with no success,

Any thoughts  would be appreciated.   Thank you
