How to Install a Sliding Patio Door

[@Sporttster]

RIP Ron, passed in 2023. Appreciate his help on doing this project. Have always enjoyed his shows.

[@jimdixon6688]

Hard to find a quality craftsman like him now days

[@elchoppo9248]

Still the best video on how to replace patio door. 👍

[@loganroberts3082]

I like how he's just having his coffee and reading the paper then decides to just knock out a major install by himself. best DIY vid I've seen in a long time. subscribed.

For sure. The next day he's got his feet up, watching a ballgame. Clicks off T.V. Man I love a good ballgame, but I love pouring foundations too... And, that's what we're doing today folks; pouring a foundation on the property we're building right next door to my house. Come along, let's pour some concrete...

7 years late to say so Ron, Good CLEAN JOB! I use to watch your television program years ago. Nice seeing you in 2022 on KZbin. Hope all is well for you and your family. RB in Georgia Romans 10:9-13

[@felipecamargo7890]

The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install kzbin.infoUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC

I’m installing a similar Pella door and this by far has been the MOST instructional video on how to DIY (install) it. Ignore the trolls; they never have anything productive to add. New subscriber thank you 🙏👍

[@RobTraz555]

You shouldn't ignore the trolls on this one. All of the installation is correct except for the fact that the stationary section and the slider section are flip-flopped. I've installed 1000+ patio doors and have never, in my career, witnessed a slider that has the track on the outside. This door is installed wrong. Period.

[@sparky72]

Great video. Feels like watching This Old House as a boy.

[@TheAmyKarrow]

I literally clapped as the video ended. Amazing skills, so precise and wonderful tutorial video. Now, can you come to my house please? New home owners learn quickly how important having these kind of skills are.

[@austinl.2703]

The slider should be on the inside. The track will collect outdoor dirt and ruin the rollers in a few years. Plus it's a security risk since the slider can be unlocked or removed without too much noise.

[@owenashton2386]

I really enjoyed this video and the editing too! Thanks

[@cokeyNbk]

yeah, other then the sliding door being on outside preventing a security bar being used, this was good. like the use of extra flashing on all parts. good job. I'm getting some similar ones soon with internal blinds

[@Dloweification]

He installed the doors backwards. The blinds were outside.

[@marsoelflaco5722]

A little know-how, and the right tools makes all the difference.✌🏽 If that were me, it would be a mess.

[@AG-nc7wj]

I love your new sliding paito door. I will try to install a sliding paito door. thank you

[@pattyb325]

What a great teacher! Beautiful door, Great job, too. I love the blinds inside the door. They get so dusty! Thanks!

[@kusmartsev]

The door is installed the wrong side. Exterior is inside.

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

You make that look to easy. Great job God Bless you .👍👍👍🙏

[@grenvilletp]

Shouldn't slider be on inside? Inside track is less likely to get debris on it and you can put a security bar on slider when track is on inside of fixed door

[@billyjack3580]

Agreed. A diagonal security bar can usually be fitted to a door with an outside sliding panel, but it has to be crafted to securely lodge against the inside door handle. Problem is, the door can still be lifted off the track from the outside.

[@ANDYTOROK99]

Great video. no mention of weep holes. I've had problems of water running over bottom door lip and into the house. Be careful of making sure weep hole is clear and works as it should.

[@kowen5323]

Outside sliders like this have no need for weep holes. The water should never get past the slider. Inside sliders need weep holes because the water is expected to get into the track. The weep holes give it an escape route.

[@sandracolon-md2ym]

SIMPLY AWESOME. THANK YOU KINDLY

[@bg147]

Nice. I love that van and wish I had one for my handyman business.

[@vvillm2003]

Leave the tape off the fin until the movable door is installed and tested for smooth operation because sometimes you need to adjust the fin...so once you are certain all is good then put the final weatherproofing tape over the nails in the fin!

[@geedubb2005]

Thanks Ron! I need a helper like Jeff too. I'm getting up in age where I struggle with some of my projects. I hope he learns a lot from you.

[@mulliganman33]

Nice job! The only step he missed was checking the door for square by measuring diagonally from the top corners to the bottom corners to make sure both measurements are equal. You have to make sure the door is level, plumb, and square to ensure it rolls smoothly. RIP Ron.

[@stedmans4christ]

RON, I am a new fan!! This is a door installed RIGHT, great job and attention to detail...subscribing for sure

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

How are these double pane filled with argon if you opened the inner pane to install the blinds and grilles?

[@Guillotines_For_Globalists]

@John 14:6 KJV I always wondered that about those Pella windows with integrated blinds. So essentially there are 3 panes of glass but only two are insulated with argon?

[@larrymoore6640]

I'm moving into a house that has Pella windows and a patio door with the blind options. The only problem I see is with the smaller windows that are the crankout style, window doesn't seal properly.

[@RecklessTheory]

you can't fill it with argon when it has blinds it will interfere with the blinds function and vice versa. You can get them with grilles though since they don't move but not the model shown here of course as it opens up. You go from like 0.28-0.30 (average) to 0.38 or worse with a door like this in u-factor I don't think it's worth it unless your climate is really mild.

[@ashleymay2587]

This is the first of your videos that I've watched. Thank you for making this such an easy to follow and understand instructional video. Looking forward to doing more projects with your instruction lol :)

[@kaytea8383]

[@harvey8695]

Didn’t the argon gas between the panes escape when installing the blinds?

Me & my son are doing an install just like this tomorrow! Thanks for the video Ron & I hope that things go as smoothly for us as they did for you! Should be interesting as neither of us has done anything like this before.....................

[@CDPMATH]

I know this is an old thread but I’m just curious how your project went. I’m looking to change one myself but scared to do so. Thanks

[@Ratt1959]

I don't need to replace the whole slider, but I need to remove it to replace the board under it. The threshold board has rotted out. I lifted the threshold up and slid a couple of temporary shims under it for now. Hopefully it will last until this coming spring.

[@77.88.]

Best of all you show every aspect of the process and leave nothing out start to finish; many other videos take short cuts and we novices are left to guess I give you (6) out of 5 * stars, Thanks a lot

[@gregbiegel6468]

Nice job Ron. Thanks so much

[@patrickarchuleta9594]

I have a question for Mr Hazleton you do have to shim there should be some shims top bottom and the sides.

[@rts3613]

Shouldn't the fixed panel be outside and the active panel/door inside?

[@glee21012]

It should

[@RobTraz555]

Absolutely.

[@davidadams1940]

Door was installed backwards! the slider door track should be on the inside. That way you can put a bar between the door and frame as added security and the track will not fill up with snow, ice, and dirt!

[@morsteen]

That's right. Funny how it can be done very well all the way around except for one fatal flaw.

[@morsteen]

there is a procedure to take out the stationary side and swap it with the slider side so that it's then on the inside. It's a hassle but it can be done. Easier to just buy one that is already inside, or to install it so its inside.

[@barbaratardif9849]

Sliding Door should be on the inside for security. Otherwise is can be lifted out, no?

[@xersys]

You can't just swap the doors because the latching bracket the lock latches in to would be on the wrong side of the frame. I had the same problem when I bought my house, and the entire frame has to be removed, which is fine with me because I'm getting the same one as in this video.

[@HighRidgeHandyman]

Shouldn’t the sliding door be on inside? Could someone just lift out to enter the home? I’ve never seen a door open on the out side track? Nice job putting it in though 👍

[@joeb2000]

I am curious about that as well. Since I have always seen the security bar on the inside against the sliding door as well.

[@CyberWolfVR]

Has this door been fitted back to front? The sliding door is always on the inside of the house here in uk 🇬🇧

[@Drew-py8kg]

You ripped out that beautiful Andersen slider for a pos pella?

[@adambraun9750]

Great video, good instruction. My installation varies, so I have a question. At 7:12, you shim the door from the inside. My home (locally-owned mass-production home builder, late 1990s) is finished with a drywall return, not a trim piece. There will be no way for me to shim from the inside, as I don't have a trim piece that can be easily removed. Having to remove and repair drywall, mud, match an orange peel texture, then (potentially) paint the whole kitchen (we don't have the original paint to touch up - depends how well Lowe's can match a sample I cut out), adds a TON of work to the project. Any ideas on how to DIY a different way of shimming? Can I shim from the outside? Would I need to cut the nail flange, to fit in an exterior shim? Would that compromise the structural integrity of the door? Any feedback is welcome. (Current glass has a shattered pane; frame cracked in several locations along corners; frame leaks into the interior track; 22-23 years old; builder grade. Fortunately only a single pane shattered, so we have protection from the weather until I can get a door ordered; but definitely time for a replacement.)

VIDEO: Planning to update your sliding patio door before winter? Here's how to do it!

[@awhodothey]

Don't pull finish nails with a catspaw in trim! Put a putty knife or 5-in1 tool behind the trim, pry it off, and use end cut nippers to pull the nails out through the BACKSIDE of the board. It will leave your trim flawless on the front. Also, the fixed panel of a sliding door always goes on the outside.

Guys remember he said they are the ones being viewed from the outside, that's why the door was installed backwards with the sliding door on the outside .
