Our farmhouse front door is so narrow we went with a mobile home door, which has a slide up/slide down pane held in place by two spring-loaded prongs. One of the pins has broken off where the pull-tab meets the pin (thus the gap were the screwdriver blade is. They're simple cast pins, so they should be fixable with solder, BUT I don't see how to remove the pin from the window frame so the break can be fixed. There is a return/tension spring in the lower part of the frame to the left of the pull tab, aside from that I don't see anything that suggests how to remove the pins from the frame. Anybody with window experience know how the pins come out? Is there a clip, a retaining pin or other simple technique to remove the pin? Or am I going to have to disassemble the frame to get to the pins? Those with sharp eyes will notice that the pins are upside-down. That's intentional because the from-the-factory configuration had the screen on the bottom and the window slide up. With a cat and occasionally dog-sitting, that was not a good setup, so the window insert has been flipped so the solid window is at pet height, and the screen is at the top.

I really do not want to buy a new one , as then i'd have to cut it doen , what is the best repair for a slab masonite door ?
