Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus are disclosed for glazing a last lite into a window opening between two previously installed lites. Retainers are installed onto the adjacent vertical edges of the two previously installed lites. The retainers are configured such that the last lite can be pivoted into position against a transverse flange of the retainer without obstruction. Subsequent to the last lite being set, frame members are engaged with the retainers, thereby capturing the edges of the last lite between the retainers and the corresponding frame members. The last lite is then structurally bonded to the frame members. The entire last lite glazing sequence can be accomplished quickly and easily from inside the building.
