The Clopay Window Inserts – Bronze – REC14 is a decorative, snap-in grille designed for select Clopay garage door windows. It serves as a replacement part or aesthetic upgrade for Clopay doors originally built with the REC14 pattern and an exterior snap-in window system. The bronze finish is intended to coordinate with compatible Clopay door finishes, helping restore or refresh curb appeal without changing the glass or door section. Typical use cases include replacing a damaged or aging insert, matching existing bronze door components, or aligning multiple door sections to the same window design.
Compatibility depends on your door’s original window system. This insert fits Clopay residential models that were supplied with REC14 inserts of the same panel type (short or long) and the same window frame style; it is not intended for units that use grilles-between-glass or sealed internal grids, and it is generally not interchangeable with other manufacturers’ frames. Installation is performed from the exterior by engaging the insert’s locking tabs into the window frame—usually without drilling—making it a straightforward swap when matched to the correct code. For best results, confirm the REC14 designation on your existing insert or consult your door’s documentation or a Clopay dealer. Clean with mild soap and water only, avoiding harsh solvents or abrasives, and use proper ladder safety and hand protection during removal and installation.
