This is how, How-to-videos, are done! Great job!

Awesome video! Great quality work on the replacement of that door. I like that the video is short but still show all the main steps, it’s concise, clear and well explained.

This video was WAY better than the actual Jeld Wen video. Thanks so much!

Thanks for making a straighforward DIY video this was good knowledge shared!

This is a very good show and we love it !

I got a ton of info in 6 minutes, can't beat that bud.

Very down to Earth, no nonsense video.

This video is massively helpful.

I'm gonna watch this a few times This is a great skill

Thanks for the informative video

Totally enjoyed your video

Great Job!

Good job, good help...

Great video thanks !

Great video.

Thank you!👍

Thanks I learned a lot

Thanks for the video

That was informative

Good step by step video, glad to see father and son working on home projects.

I would have liked to see the outside being finished where the door meets siding

Thanks for sharing

I like how one pain just magically disappeared

good one!

Thank you, I'm pretty sure I can replace my old slider now 😀

One of the best videos I have seen on replacing a junky old patio sliding door with a new one. He shows several key steps and everything I saw made good sense. The part about the flashing was of interest but the only thing I was not sure about was the need for aluminum flashing in addition to the other seal flashing unless it is a precaution in case the rubber seal type flashing rots out from sun baking and ozone...? Does the aluminum flashing get covered up by the frame of the door so you dont have to paint it? Last time I painted aluminum the pant would not stick for nothing...just curious. I must also say it was good to see him replace the whole door as my frame was pretty much rotted out from moisture damage from the previous owner not keeping it painted.

When calking the bottom I would use Silicon and good amounts of it not just the loop shown. Lay it on thick and I would not use construction adhesive in this water born area.

Thanks!

Heads up! It's whether not weather. Great video!

Thanks good job

Top trim... looks well to be nice look at it's pattern and the rest of the door.. now ask yourself if it looks good.

How it looks in out side when is done?

So what tools would you say are necessary for this project vs tools that would just be useful to have on hand

I broke my grandparents sliding door years ago and now that I'm working I'm going to buy them and hopefully install a new one for them

I missed that part ,,my bad ,,I was looking for a video to send my nephew but this one won't do . I most likely will have to help him so if I do I will post a vid,, Like I said removal is revers of install, if flange is exposed great just pull the nails, if not either cut the siding back to expose flange or if doors measure the same run a sawzall between flange and door frame on top and sides ,rack it back and forth from top until it comes free.,,you will have to remove new flange from new door and secure inside with screws ,re-caulk siding and your done ,,or run your saw the 1 1/2 side of fence along door Fram and cut all around exposing flange ,install new door and trim with choice of material. there you go !!

Would you shim the door if the opening isn't square, or would you stick the shims behind the framing?

Thanks

d have been nice to see a check from the inside, specifically the centre piece where there is strip of material on both doors to lock. should they be visible when door is shut? should they touch each other behind the centre? should they be at each side of the centre piece?

What if there aren’t screws in the frame? I’m not seeing any when I look at my door, but it’s definitely secure. Would some doors be glued in, or perhaps panels need to be removed to uncover the screws? Thanks!

Does the flashing hang over siding or tuck behind it?

There doesn't have to be any kind of flashing/seal around the side and top edges to keep water out? Wouldn't there normally be some kind of moisture barrier or something the same as when installing windows?

I've got huge old barn doors on my garage, I'm looking to get sliding doors on it thugh, would I need to add more bricks as the French doors are much smaller or can it just be done with a good enough timber frame?

Few questions after seeing this video vs how home depot installers did mine. 1. They did not use aluminum flashing on the bottom for the water to drip out of. Instead, placed the new frame directly on the pre-existing floorboard. Is this an issue? 2. The new door was intended as a direct replacement for the same dimensions. They did not use new wood to frame out. Instead, they used the existing wood frames. Small pieces of the prior wood interior came off when they were doing the uninstallation of the old sliding patio. Is it an issue they did not do a new wood to frame out? 3. They did not caulk all around the new frame. Instead, caulked only the bottom frame and screwed around the new frame. Is this an issue? 4. After the frame and doors were fitted, there was still an opening gap, especially from the top of the frame to the outside. They did not use the expandable foam sealer (which I paid for) and instead only caulked around the frame.

Was this your first sliding door replacement or had you done it before? Really bad wind busted my old door yesterday and now I am looking at having someone do it, or do it myself. I am a fitter/welder so I have some knowledge of how to do things, I just dont want it to be a pain in the ass.

How much usually cost to replace a sliding door

I saw in a comment that someone mentioned you didn’t screw the frame of the new door, on the sides through shims into the studs. Neither did I see you screw the too of the frame into the header. Is this true, or was it simply not shown in the video?

Were you get the door??? And how much it cost ?

What kind of tack nails did u use??

How long was the project? one day to install?

Forgive my naivety...what kind of screws & caulk did you use? I'm going to be replacing my slider next week...

how many hours for this job?

How much was that same size door

Warn us at 2:20 my ear drums started bleeding.

Is it possible to just change both panels and not the frame..

Why wouldn't you use pressure treated for frame and use flashing tape on bottom?

I just placed my door in today and when I was all done I noticed I was missing a head fixed panel? That's what the diagram called it any way. It's supposed to go into one of the doors at the top.....is it OK that I don't have it or how can I get that piece?

I have a 70x80 1980's sliding door which they don't make anymore(or so I'm told). How would I install a 72x80 new one?

Why didn’t you put a metal flashing on the bottom?

Does this mean you had to get a smaller sliding door because you put up the 2 by 4’s

What would you charge someone to do that job minus materials?

I didn't notice a header above the door ??

what a handsome daddy!!!!

Thank you, how would I replace a slider with a door 😮

How much do you charge to complete a job like this? i.e. labor cost, plus materials not included with door, such as shims or special screws. I ask this because I have the feeling there are many rip offs out here. Also, I am asking this question relative to the southeast or Carolinas. Thank you so much! I enjoyed the video.

You need to use a sill pan under the door with a proper water damn

I give u something more than a like 🤗

Didn’t show putting in the door or if it needs shims for wood to breath

Looks so easy but still don’t think I can do it ja

Rip headphone users at 2:20

*whether lol

Wether*

*whether

Whether not weather

Corner to corner huh..........yeah who needs a level.

Good 0:00/6;31

Hate inch system

50 seconds into this and you are already measuring wrong ,, the R.O is the same as door 72 inch ,,making door 71.5,, not 73

Don't install your door the way he did it. He didn't use flashing around the perimeter and didn't screw through the frame of the door into the wall framing. This door will certainly come loose and leak in the future.

Show bottom

Has everyone ever heard of the sliding door frame sinking into the concrete slab? My floor tiler is trying to tell me this rather than take accountability for his shitty tiling.

I don't think you have a glazing license. You pulled the original metal frame with out new flashing paper around the door...you only flashed the bottom? You are supposed to apply 6" of new flashing paper around the entire perimeter of the door. Your finish work is nice but that's not the way your are supposed to install new construction nail fin doors.

Bad quality door. Hopefully free for this video..... cheap glass etc

not a good video ,,the door has nailing fin but I cant see if it was exposed or not after pulling off trim,,removal is the same as install but in reverse ,,this looks like amateur hour
