Thank you again. Regarding my question in my first comment I found your video which shows how to change the direction of a vertical blind. It's a great help. Thank you

Why am I so intrigued by a video about sliding glass doors when I don’t even have any in my house?

Thank you so much for this video! Was there any kind of seal around your static panel that you moved? We have winter where we live and wonder if this could work for us and our patio doors.

@KimagineDIY Жыл бұрын

I'm glad you enjoyed the video. We have small seals on each panel that have a felt feel, the track itself has none. I did not remove anything from the door. We live in Florida, most likely have different seals. I hope this helps.

I am not sure you had any stationary panels. This is a great video but since I have two stationary panels and I would like to reverse the direction of the sliding door, which involves moving those 2 panels to the other side , I am not sure I can follow the directions you are giving. I would appreciate if you can give me an idea on that. Thanks!

@KimagineDIY Жыл бұрын

Hi Miguel, you are correct all 3 of my glass panels move. So this video may not be helpful for you. This is my first slider door flip. Unfortunately I do not know what your slider would look like to be able to help guide you. I wish you luck that you find a DIY with your slider combination. Thank you very much for reaching out.

Great video except where were the door handles ? I didn't see any on any of the doors ?

@KimagineDIY Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. My slider does not have any exterior door handles. You can see me closing the door with the built in handle at 4:10. I did not have to change my handle hardware just where the lock was located on the track.

do you know how to reinstall the doors such that the door that opens is in the center?

"Thank you for watching and reaching out! While I might not be a professional slider door installer, I'm always up for a challenge. Unfortunately, I don't have the exact steps for flipping glass sliding doors from the center, as this was our first attempt too. However, I'd suggest looking into some DIY resources or seeking advice from a professional for the best guidance. Good luck with your project!"

Your hand gestures make me think you were/are a flight attendant

I genuinely believe I could thrive in that position! I have a hunch it comes from my previous experiences in entertainment. It's quite amusing that you brought it up, as someone mentioned earlier that I have some seriously professional hand gestures, lol. Thanks a ton for taking the time to watch this video and for sharing your thoughts - your feedback means a lot to me! 🌟🎥

Didn't the door already open from either side? Did you just want the left door to be on the inside of the other 2?

@KimagineDIY Жыл бұрын

Yes it could open from both sides and yes I wanted to shift the order because I didn't want to see the exposed track on the floor. It works better now with my room layout.

I have only ONE screw on the top and one screw on the bottom. It's my understanding that by removing those screw I will be removing the frame on each side of the door. My doors have a large opening on the top and bottom where a screw driver can go into and turn the screw INSIDE the door to lower or raise the rollers so that you can then remove the door from the track. Does this make any sense to you ?

@KimagineDIY Жыл бұрын

Hi, it is a little hard to understand without seeing your doors. (Plus I am not an expert on sliding doors) But my slider doors had screws on each side of the slider, 2 on top, 2 on the bottom. They only controlled the raising and lowering of the wheels on the track. That is what I show in the video on how I was able to flip mine. If you know the brand of your slider you might be able to find a video or a manual to provide you further instructions.

This only works if you have 3 panels and two of them have latches.

@KimagineDIY 4 ай бұрын

Thank you for watching and sharing your feedback! You're right, this method is specific to a setup like mine with three panels and two latches. I appreciate your insight!
