Where can I get a piece of 3/32" glass cut in Baton Rouge? Don't say Lowes

I need a 8 5/8" x 11 3/4" piece of 3/32" glass cut in Baton Rouge.
Simple replacement on an older door at my house. But apparently hard to get. Glass replacement companies won't touch it because 'code' now requires tempered glass on doors. Confuses me since the other eight pieces of glass are not tempered.
The glass cutting machine at Lowes is broken (surprise) and apparently they're too inept to maintain or replace the blade.

I've used Ace on Millerville for glass several times
They'll cut custom sizes. Some of our windows are odd shapes and they cut it to fit. My kids have busted a few with soccer balls.

Glassman in RiverRidge
Although it's 4pm on Saturday so you'd more than likely find him at Finn's

The other Lowes in BR?
If not, one of the many other glass places. Just tell them it is for a picture frame or shelf if they are that nosey.

What glass replacement companies have you tried?

I'll be honest, I tried one. They came out and measured it and they told me they'd change it to tempered glass because they had to according to code. Quoted me $170. I gave up and just said I'd change it myself. I pulled the broken shite out this afternoon and went to Lowes, knowing the piece of glass I need was $2.68 with free cutting. Just knew I'd be done with this in about 45 minutes.
Ha. Now I've got a cool piece of cardboard from a Huggies diaper box taped into the hole with duct tape. Really classes my house up.

Ace will be able to easily cut that. Mine was around that size and some have been in place for a few years with no problem. Cost me maybe $10 with trimming

I heard Lowes has a nice glass cutting machine. You should probably check them out. Especially for a 3/32" glass cut. Definitely Lowes. Ask for a guy named Hank and slap him on the arse.

Glass companies won't cut because they are responsible if something happens and people find out they cut non tempered for a door. Just call any company and give them the size and thickness and don't tell them it's for a door. They'll cut it for you if they don't know what it's for but they won't install it.

frick it, keep the Ducktape. I like the look... also it's the closes to the dead bolt.

Get laminated glass. Don't waste your time with monolithic.

I see a few mentioning Home Depot. They don't cut glass.

What about a picture frame shop? We owned one for a while when I was kid. We cut glass all the time.
