can I convert an exterior solid metal door into a 9 panel glass door?

I have a 9 panel glass exterior door installed on the back of my garage. The bottom of it is rusting out and needs to be replaced. Can I just buy a solid door and cut a hole in it to put the glass from the other door in?

    Probably not a good idea for structural concerns to the door and it will definitely void out any warranty on the door.

    You might have to check with local officials. The metal door may be required as a safety device, in case of fire in the garage.

    You can REPLACE the solid metal door with a glass door. It isn't practical to CONVERT it.

    I GUARANTEE it will cost more to FAIL at your plan than to do it right.

    That glass is probably too heavy for a flimsy door, especially one with the middle cut out.
