For buyers searching for surplus windows and doors, these five replacement options cover a door-glass insert, sliding windows, and fixed transom windows. The 22-by-36-inch entry-door insert is best for replacing glass in a compatible steel or fiberglass door; the aluminum sliders suit ventilation and utility openings; and the Melkus two-pack is best for adding fixed daylight to outbuildings. These listings are replacement products, not confirmation of surplus or closeout inventory, so verify dimensions and installation needs before ordering.

22 x 36 Entry Door Clear Glass Insert
This is a glass lite kit for replacing a door’s existing glass, not a complete entry door. It is designed for steel or fiberglass doors in listed widths of 30, 32, 34, or 36 inches and heights of 6 feet 8 inches or 7 feet. The stated door thickness is 1.75 inches.
Best for: Homeowners whose existing door matches the listed dimensions and needs a clear-glass replacement. The kit includes tempered safety glass, maintenance-free frames, installation screws, screw-hole plugs, and a pre-applied dry glaze on the exterior frame.
Consider: Confirm door measurements and cutout requirements before purchase. The listed 20-year warranty excludes damage from improper installation and other stated circumstances; the product information also warns that storm doors can cause heat damage unless vented.
Vibeo Aluminum Up-And-Down Sliding Window
The listed option is white and measures 12 by 36 inches. Its aluminum-alloy frame holds 5 mm clear tempered glass, and the vertical sliding sash can be opened partway or fully at different stop points. The package includes the window and screw accessories.
Best for: Buyers seeking a narrow vertical window for a shed or an older-house opening, especially when adjustable ventilation is useful. It was selected for its sliding operation and listed tempered-glass construction.
Consider: The description calls for embedding the window in the opening, fastening it, and filling gaps with foam adhesive. Check the actual opening dimensions and installation details; the listing describes a flush-mount installation rather than a drop-in replacement for every existing window.
Aluminum Basement Sliding Window
The selected white option measures 38 by 21 inches. The listing describes a 3-inch rust-resistant aluminum-alloy profile, 0.2-inch transparent glass, an integrated dual-action crescent lock, and a removable screen. It is presented for use in basements, media rooms, barns, sunrooms, and other utility settings.
Best for: Buyers who want a sliding window that combines ventilation with a removable screen. The lock and screen distinguish it from fixed windows and make it a practical candidate for regularly used utility spaces.
Consider: Verify that the stated size suits the prepared opening and that the sliding layout works for the intended location. The listing does not provide detailed installation instructions or performance ratings in the supplied information.
Gray Up-And-Down Sliding Window
This gray window is listed at 16 by 36 inches. Its aluminum-alloy frame and 5 mm clear glass are designed for a vertical sliding arrangement with multiple stop points for partial or full opening. The kit includes the window and screw fittings.
Best for: Buyers who need a compact window with adjustable airflow and prefer a gray frame. It was chosen as a distinct size and finish option among the sliding replacement windows.
Consider: The stated installation involves inserting the window into the opening, tightening screws, and sealing with foam sealant. Measure the opening carefully and confirm the finish and opening direction meet the project requirements.
Melkus Fixed Shed Windows, Two Pack
This set includes two fixed, flush-mount windows, each listed with a 10-by-23-inch opening size. The windows use heavy-duty aluminum-alloy frames and 4 mm tempered glass. The package includes 36 screws, and the product description names sheds, chicken coops, barns, greenhouses, garages, playhouses, and storage rooms as intended applications.
Best for: Buyers adding daylight to an outbuilding who do not need an opening sash. The two-window pack and fixed design make it a useful choice when ventilation is not the main goal.
Consider: These windows are fixed, so choose a sliding model instead if the opening must provide airflow. Confirm the opening size before planning the flush-mount installation.
Buying Guide: How To Choose Replacement Windows And Door Glass
What should you measure first?
Measure the existing unit or framed opening, then compare those measurements with the product’s listed size and installation style. Do not assume a nominal size equals the rough opening. For a door insert, check door width, height, thickness, material, and the required glass opening.
Should you choose a sliding or fixed window?
Choose a slider when you want an opening sash for ventilation. The basement and vertical-lift options offer sliding operation, while the Melkus windows are fixed. A fixed window can add daylight, but it does not open for airflow.
Which materials and included parts matter?
Compare the listed frame material, glass type, and included hardware. These options describe aluminum window frames, tempered glass, and varying screw or installation accessories. The door lite kit lists tempered glass, frames, screws, and plugs. Check whether sealant, tools, or other materials are needed for your project.
Are these verified surplus products?
The supplied product details describe replacement windows and a door-glass insert, but do not verify that the items are surplus, used, reclaimed, or closeout stock. Buyers specifically seeking surplus inventory should confirm condition, quantity, and availability with the seller before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are any of these products complete entry doors?
No. The entry-door product is a glass insert kit for a compatible steel or fiberglass door, not a complete door.
Which option is best for ventilation?
The sliding windows are the relevant choices because their sashes open. The Melkus two-pack is fixed and does not provide ventilation.
Does the Melkus set include two windows?
Yes. The product description specifies two fixed windows and 36 screws.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm the actual opening or door dimensions, mounting style, frame color, whether the window needs to open, and which installation materials are included.
