Full of tips very professional. Thank you. I am fitting my French doors for first time in fitting and glazing.

Having the beads on the outside of the door means that it's nice and easy to get in if you lose your key.

this is a design flaw that no one in the industry wants to talk about so...shhhhhh

[@TheBang911]

@@gdr88it’s not a design flaw in the industry. This particular door has been made or fitted incorrectly. I just fitted some French doors and the beads are inside the house.

[@-JackK2412]

​@@TheBang911older frames and doors are beaded externally.

Every time I see a comment like this I imagine myself watching as a criminal pulls up with their work truck full of glazing tools and they carefully start disassembling the door or window when they could’ve drove the bloody truck through it in a fraction of the time 😂

Good tips 👍

External beading makes it easy for a burglar to break in, You should have used double sided tape to glue the glass in. Also you never put a packer in the space at the top left hand corner. Over time the glass slips into the gap and drops again. I have been doing the same job for 37 years. Also do not let the silicon touch the sealant as this reacts with the unit seal and breaks it down.

[@tristanmartinez2667]

It’s the people who make these comments that think they’re going to scale a sky scraper with a set of woods power grip suction cups😂

[@mygte6219]

Easier if you put your top packer in first, this gives you more leverage to pack r/h packer and gives you more lift 😉

One thing the industry doesn’t mention is lubrication the doors and windows have moving parts locks handles keepers all these need maintenance occasionally lubricate with wd40 and Vaseline where metal to metal contact

Is it only for glass you do this or dose it have to been done for full white panels

[@earthling2022]

did you have to do both panels ?

[@Hugebach]

Brilliant video thanks

[@MikeVirgo-ut9zz]

Door opens out beads on outside no security clips no security

[@paulduffy8354]

Made that look really difficult🤣

[@jonathansimmonds5784]

It's one thing telling us what it is you're doing but what you need to do is tell us WHY you're dong it! I'm totally lost as to how to do the job I'm about to do, fitting a side panel/light to my front door. i can only hope there's a better video somewhere on here.

Should the trims not be on the inside to prevent romping and gaining access to your house

[@tristanmartinez2667]

They’ll send a brick through the glass before they ever even consider removing the stops 😂

[@Davidl-ux5ke]

old upvc was externally glazed and was on either wedge gasket or security tape I've toe and heeled hundreds of doors and windows and never bothered putting a bead in first to hold the glass also where the top side packer is put one in on the opposite (hinge side) it stops excessive movement of the glass

[@AdrianH1970]

If its externally beaded i thought glazing tape would be used for added security otherwise you could pop that window out in seconds, great for burglars.

[@tristanmartinez2667]

Yes the glazing beads secure the entire window in place, good thought, I’m sure it’s an oversight on the engineers and manufactures part 😂
