I have to replace some stationary side lights on a metal double door front entrance unit. I went to the hinges to get a hint as to mnfg. (stanley, brosco etc.) All I found were the letters BMT. Anyone have an idea whose the mnfg? thanks

With labor costs what they are it (in many cases) is more cost effective to replace the whole unit, and will be a better job.
In many cases, any manufacturers sidelight will do. You just have to know the size. Many of them are made by the same company to the same specs, Some door makers just buy the door and sidelight slabs, then cut in their windows and construct the jamb and weatherstripping. Go to a real contractors lumber yard, not a big box and talk to a salesperson.
