We had a problem with the electronics cabinet with no air
circulation. We had a DVR, Surround Sound System, DVD player, and
the LAN equipment generating heat in the cabinet with no way for the
heat to escape. |
||
 |
The cabinet had this imitation leaded glass in the door. We decided to replace the glass with some screen. | |

We found this door guard screen at Lowes. | |
 |
The screen in the door guard was made from expanded metal with brown paint. We use a Dremel tool with a cut-off disk to cut a panel the size of the glass that was in the door. |

The glass was held into the door with a rubber gasket that had a glass bead appearance. | |
 |
The rubber gasket has tabs that fit into a groove cut into the door frame. | |

Here is the screen installed in the door. It looks great and now the heat can escape from the cabinet. | |
 |
The screen with the rubber gasket. We had to use a thin piece of rubber material to fill the gap as the screen was about have the thickness of the glass. | |
