Update: it's definitely the hardware that holds the wheel that is loose on the handle side and likely preventing me from getting the sliding door out. The hardware on the other side is flush against the screw hole. Original message....I can't get mine off. I got it half way where it's sitting on top of the inner trim, but something is catching. My door had an additional issue as the place just above where another screw goes was not used by the prior owner. This is only the case on the end where the door meets the house. The other side has both screws and I just removed the bottom one that adjusts the wheel. I can see something loose on the side that wasn't using the other screw hole. Looks to possibly be the hardware that the wheel is connected to. The other side i can see the female threads the screw goes into. The side that appears normal is stuck too though. Seems weird that side seems just as stuck as the side with the missing screw.. help! Thank you.

Lift it up as high as possible and wedge something underneath. Then take a slim tool like a 5 in 1 tool or stiff putty knife and try to wedge it under the wheels to pull it out like a shoehorn. If that doesn't work, examine the top and see if there's something you can remove. Here's a short video showing such an operation. kzbin.infoVZHagx-8cuM Two things to think about. 1. If you get it out, replace the wheels. This video was a temp emergency job for a neighbor who was having a party in an hour. We replaced the wheel the next weekend. 2. Sometimes they simply won't come out and some demolition is required. If that's the case. Cut off the top of the frame because that can usually be replaced with wood or metal. Thanks for watching.

Very nice job and quality workmanship. Were these the old Atrium Door Company doors? I was wondering if you put in new glass packs or transferred the glass over from the old door frames. I’ve got double Atrium doors with oak sills on the back of my house on either side of the fireplace dating to 1986 when the house was built. They are in good shape having been well maintained but three of the glass packs have failed and get fogged up under the right weather conditions. Any ideas as to replacing just the glass and not the entire door? If I was in the Nashville area I wouldn’t hesitate to do business. Thanks-subscribed.
@askillthatpays3 күн бұрын
I simply installed new doors from HD. Glass replacement on wood doors is nearly impossible and typically costs more than new doors. In addition, the issue here was not with the glass, it was with everything surrounding the glass. Threshold, wood rot, weatherstripping and more. Glass replacement on doors is EXTREMELY rare unless it's some sort of vintage or historical item. Here's why. Doors are made to have the glass replaced. Most are glued in place and they'd get destroyed in the process. Also, glass companies won't come out and replace glass in a door. In MY experience, the only thing they'll even consider is if I bring them a door to their shop and they'll inspect it and let me know what's possible. In 15 years of doors, that has happened ONE time. Thanks for watching.

You're welcome and here's the idiot's guide to doing this. Layout the track on the floor or in driveway. Then lay down the door and hook one of the hangers over the track and on the door. In other words, lay it all out just as it would look once mounted. Then measure from the hole on the track to the bottom of the door and add 1/2" or whatever you want the clearance to be off the floor. That's the height of your bar off the floor and the best place to start. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for making this video, and actually showing the repair. There’s another video on KZbin the guy titles it , how to fix the door but he doesn’t show you anything about how he fixed it ? We have an old 1969 house and the door was from that range very similar to what you have. And the wheels were just making a very loud squeaking noise the kind that would be embarrassing if you had guest come over. going to try to take mine out of the track and clean the track and evaluate everything and hopefully I’ll be able to get the wheels out and decide if they need to be replaced. I’m assuming since they’re squeaking so loud they probably will need to be replaced but that all depends on whether I can find replacements?

I recommend replacing the wheels. This was a temp emergency fix for my neighbor who was having a party in an hour. We replaced the wheels the next weekend.

@ I was able to find the wheels at the Home Depot. The challenging thing or slightly scary thing for me was to take the frame of the door apart. I had to take the side off to get wheel carriage out. it had one big wheel at each end with notches on the side in the aluminum door, the wheel carriage stuck into the notches , so you couldn’t just pull it out without taking the frame on the side apart. But I did it as I read in the hd review. Door is smooth and quiet now. Thanks again.

Good question. Thresholds are not always needed in commercial applications.

This was a utility room with uneven concrete flooring and the door bottom was close enough where the client didn't request it. Thanks for watching. I appreciate it.

Welded and wrap-around are two different things. The only way a wrap-around can be installed is if it's a "knock'-down" meaning it comes in pieces.

Great question. Moving a hinge up an 1/8" is actually easier than you think. Either move it up on the jamb or down on the door. Whichever is easier. Mortise the area so it can be moved an 1/8" them put the new screw as close to the old screw hole as possible without going into it. You can even fill the old screw hole with toothpicks or slivers of wood to prevent the screw from going in. Use a fine point screw and even pre-drill it and you'll be able to do it.
