Also check out my video on our Exterior Front Door Removal & Installation here! kzread.info/dash/bejne/q354xqametublbg.html Lots of home improvement projects to come. Thanks for watching!

One of the best how-to videos I've seen - detailed, concise, w/no wasted talk. Thinking to attempt this myself. As someone who's dealt with dropped tools/parts (in machines where it could be catastrophic if it fell/got jammed.. had thoughts of cellphone ringing as soon as I landed in St. Louis after a San Jose job - I spent about an hour finding a screw once), I've learned to put cardboard/piece of paper to catch screws.. could stuff a towel in that crack. Good days to you

I'm definitely taking your advice in the future! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words!

This door gets a ton of use so this one project was a huge upgrade for our house! What do you think? Don't forget to subscribe because there are lots more home improvement projects coming. Thanks for watching!

This was a FANTASTIC video. We were quoted $3400 and that was supposed to be a steal! So we may try to tackle it ourselves, I LOVE that wood trim, on both sides!!!!

Wow that's crazy!! I love it when DIY'ing saves a ton. You got this! And thanks!

Another super job. After watching your other videos it is pleasing to see home handy people publish work with clear instructions and well-filmed sequences. Plus you two always think to clean the work area as you go which is so sensible. It's inspiring and encouraging watching Maker Gray home handy people.

I hate my slider. I purchased my house 3 years ago, we have an old steel single pane slider. The wheels hardly roll, the locks don’t work. Planning on changing mine out this weekend finally lol. Yours looks great!

Installing new sliding doors is always good, but I want to share with you my experience, I live in Orlando Florida, I contacted the Masterslide company with the problem of my sliding doors (if you ask, I will share the contacts) they replaced the rollers, installed a track cover and a new handle with a lock. Now my door is like new and I'm as happy as a child! And most importantly, I thought that I saved more than two thousand dollars! Just because repairs are cheaper!))) so think before ordering new ones. This is not advertising, this is my case.

Thanks for the advice sharing 👍 thoroughly enjoyed 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤😂😂❤😢😢😅

Unless your slider frame is bent or worked u will always measure plum

I've been wanting to add a sliding door for a long time, but it would be filling the space where an old window and window sized hole from a former swamp cooler are. I'm still figuring out how to frame that gap out before I start, and to add more complication its on a hodge podge adobe/brick wall I have. Thanks for the post, seeing it done allows my brain to figure out the process for my own hot mess house express.

In another part of our hot mess express house we might replace an old window with another sliding door down the road. I understand because I've been thinking through what that would entail. I'm so glad to know this helps! Thanks for watching!

Ha. I highly disagree. That old door was extremely inefficient and and the single pane untempered glass was dangerous. And then of course, loud, broken, dated and more. This upgrade was worth every penny.

Great video. You didn't mention what you did on the outside at the bottom of the door. How did you trim that out? How many weep holes does your door have? Mine has 4. 2 nearer to the bottom and 2 higher. Should all 4 be exposed? Or can the lower ones be covered by trim?

Can i ask what size door was it before and after

Good but I would rather see silicon at the base rather then construction adhesive and would like to see much more of it not just a simple loop (Sine wave) pattern. In your case it was somewhat weatherized but still good practice to run many lines across as a multiple defense strategy.

I personally think that she put enough. There’s no need to waste 2 tubes of silicone in one area. That’s over kill.

What is best way to take measurements of your door before you order it and remove the preceding door?

@MakerGray

Жыл бұрын

If your door has any trim, you can usually gently remove it to see the actual frame of the door. You can then take measurements of the height and width of the whole door frame and know exactly what you need to order.

Is it required to put sloped sill pan?

@1:50 I wish you would have showed how you remove the sliding part because I think I have this exact same door. And I can't for the life of me figure out how to take the dang door out!

@MakerGray

9 ай бұрын

Shoot! Sorry about that. If I remember correctly, there were two brackets (top and bottom) that I just had to unscrew and the door came right out. You're then able to lift the door up into the top track and then swing out at the bottom. Hope this helps!

I’m worried about that wide crack in which the tool fell.
