Sliding glass door replacement.

Our sliding glass entrance door got shattered. It's a Cedar Creek (Forest River) Cottage 40 CRS. I've reached out to FR three different ways only to be ignored. Where can I find a replacement? I'd love to replace the whole thing with a unit fromm Home Depot with blinds between the glass, but their frames are 5" wide compared to the existing 3.5". ANY help appreciated. Thank y'all in advance.

    Most new construction has 6 inch exterior walls. Older construction has the 4 inch exterior walls.
    I would suggest calling the manufacturer and not Home Depot.

    It’s only a 1.5” difference. With some creative trim, you could make a residential unit work.

    Thank y'all for the replies. The manufacturer will only sell the whole door unit for over $1,000 shipped. Residential doors are taller than these. It might fit, but I wasn't willing to chance being able to trim 2" off the header. Turns out, a local glazier custome ordere the pane and replaced it with one of the same tint as the other panel, for $600. Happy trails y'all.
