Vendo/VMC 81 Door Window

[Matt]

What was the original material used in Vendo or VMC 81 bottle door windows? Glass, safety glass, Plexiglas, or something else?

plain old window glass.

        The outside is plain old glass but the 2 inside were plexiglass. Have your glass shop cut all 3 from glass, it is so much clearer. You had best have them drill holes in the inside 2 like original or you may have fogging problems.

My thoughts exactly... the door will be clearer if all glass and no Plexiglas.

If all 3 panes are glass, is there any risk of them shattering when the bottle door "slams closed" (i.e. spring action)?

Nope all glass is the way to go.
