We never touched anything house -ey a day in our lives and we just installed ours after getting the old one and frame out. I rented a sawzall and used that and DIDNT lose any limbs. Between this and the other video, I was able to do it. Thanks so much man
Fantastic video. You give very precise instructions without any extra chatter. You show each step very clearly and explain the reasons why. You definitely boosted my confidence so that I feel good about trying this myself. You just found yourself a new subscriber.
I was tearing up a floor today and was talking about how I hate liquid nail and then I watch your videos for the first time and never seen anyone use as much as you lol
Absolutely love your technique. Checking everything first and having a home owner to allow to take the trim off makes the replacement go smoothly. Love the new look and as always, Great job Josh. 👍🏻
Thanks, David! I just noticed this comment from months ago. I’m glad I found it because I try to respond to most comments. Take care!
@@TheExcellentLaborer not a problem at all Josh.
Hey Josh, nice video and just in time ! I’m replacing two sliding patio doors at this time. I had a severe water intrusion at the bottom of both because of a deck installed when the house was new 17 years ago! The flashing under the ledger board was not a z type and the never nailed it above the ledger to the wall or chalked it or sealed it at all! I had to replace 20 + ft of my rim joist and damage to the floor under the sliders. This wall faces the West and is always in receiving the full force of any rain here in NC . It so happens I’m using Relia Built slider’s 👍👍 this is the second time I’ve ever replaced a patio door in 2 years. I just finished a remodel for my girlfriend house in 2020.
This is the first video of yours I have seen and I have to extend my gratitude with this comment. There are a number of reasons I'm now a follower one being your speed within the process even the youngest of beginners should be able to follow your basic yet thorough video and amongst other reasons again Thank You for posting
I'm impressed, you did it again great work, and I can't wait for the tile installation, keep up with the good work.
Thanks a lot Noah! My wife is still debating about tile color so it might be a couple weekends until I put out that video. I hope your projects are going well!
Thanks for this video, my son is just starting to play. I know this is going to help tremendously
This is awesome! I just bought an older house with an opening door. I want a patio sliding door for summer for the screen door. Plus there's tips of things that could happen like the top gap of the patio in this video.
Thank you! Patio doors can be somewhat complicated if the opening is not square. I try to keep it simple in the video. Thanks for watching!
Just did a patio door last fall, this video would have saved me some time! Too bad you aren’t in the Wisconsin area, I would have plenty of content to film lol!
I use to install doors for Home Depot. So I have installed hundreds of patio doors. We did several Anderson doors. I am far away from the Wisconsin area where I can take you up on that lol. Thanks for watching!
I hope you didn’t use that great stuff in a can
Dang, I watched this video specifically for the end and then you didn't do the part I was looking for. :/ My sliding glass door is fine, but the people who installed it just did not give two single craps about finishing up the job. It looks basically how this one in the video does by the end, only even less filled in with the foam. So I need to learn how to finish it up and make it not look so terrible.
Man I need to hire this guy! I feel so inspired, this was a great video!
Thanks a lot Jenkins! I’m glad you found this video helpful. Take care!
As always great content, thanks Josh
Thanks Mohamed!
Thank you!
Good job.
Nice watching someone that's straight to the point, and not trying to be a movie star like Jeff @ home renovision. Overexplaing every little detail.
exactly what I needed to know!
Good installation Demo.😊& compliment to your wife on a good shot with the video camera.📸
I truly need to replace my back sliding door. The house was built in 1968 and it's the original door. I've replaced the rollers so many times and can't even buy them any more. The aluminum threshold is worn almost flat and and the screws in the handle stripped out so I am using screwdrivers to open it and vice grips to lock it. So of course I'm watching videos. I'm waiting for fall when the bugs die out. Thanks for the video. Mine is brick but every little bit of info helps.
Nice to see good work.
Very good information. Thanks
No problem! Thanks for tuning in!
So at 11:02 you show how to set the reveal and adjust the latch. From the inside view we can see the holes to the latching side nailing flange are missing the opening.
Did you install the piece of ? quarter ? board to fill that gap then somehow attach to that? Or is the latching side only fastened by two small latch screws?
Great job
Good job thanks again 👍🏻
Appreciate you stopping by and watching again! Take care.
Loved this video as the French Door you removed is the exact one we want to replace. Question, can you convert this French door (the one you removed) into a single door using the door from the French door you removed?
This was extremely helpful... im a new home owner and wanted to replace my sliding doors... i like to see the procedure but ill keep paying you professionals
$360 door? Now that's a cheap door! Great install. I need to tackle this on two doors.
You didn't build up or shim on the sides?? Especially the lock side because I can see the nailing flange?
I’ve installed hundreds of patio doors and always used at least a 4foot level . And as far as that great stuff I’ve always stayed away from it because it absorbs moisture. I use fiberglass insulation . But that’s just how I do it
Finally get to see the camera woman who never gets any credit! Great videos
I usually use a tripod when making my videos and I do not have a camera person. This was her second time recording a video for me and she did do great! I will let her know about your awesome comment. Thanks a lot for watching!
Very well done. Ty
I appreciate that. You are welcome!
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Wouldn't it have been a good idea to apply some caulk behind the nailing flange before setting it into place? Any reason not to do that? Also it seems like some kind of flashing at the top would be good, although it looks like there is a nice overhang at this place.
Thank you! :)
You are welcome!
How high should a threshold sit from the interior floor to the top of the frame? I recently had mine replaced and we keep catching ourselves from trimming over it as the previous one set fairly flush with the ground. Wood subfloor was replaced on outside due to rot as you mentioned but I’m wondering if it should have not been as thick due to the threshold being higher on new door vs old door.
Thank you for doing this video. My son just purchased a new patio door and it has the flanges on it. Now I know what I will need to do to the trim. The part I will have to do is make the opening to fit. He found a 72 in door in stock and his opening is 76 inches.
It’s easier to make it small than larger 😎 have fun don’t cover up any rotten wood !
@@richardrumplik7023 Thank you!
@@richardrumplik7023 Thank you
Hi Josh, thanks a lot for sharing the guidance! What l-beam/torpedo level did you use? It looks quite interesting.
You are welcome! Can’t remember the brand of that one but Stanley is a good one. Hope that helps!
Good video.
How is the door secured to the home ? Just by the nailing flange & 2 screws used for the latch ? Are there any holes around the inside of the frame for install ?
Thanks Josh excellent work and you are very handsome 😊
Would you be able to reuse the door you take out in another opening? I am having French doors installed but would like to reuse my sliding doors they remove for another opening that currently has a sliding door. The sliding doors I want to replace frost up in the winter but the sliding doors that the French doors are replacing don't frost up.
so simple and easy
Yes it is! Thanks for commenting!
Did you cut the bottom flange before putting the door on the concrete?
I electrician from Algeria like the way the work of electricity in America
How did you finish out the interior floor where the adhesive squeezed out?
@The Excellent Laborer, at about the 12 minute mark I noticed you started talking about how to install the trim boards on the in and outside of the door. Do you have any videos or info you can share with me on how to do that? You said you'd show us how but you didn't have material. I am wanting to install a sliding patio door where I currently have French doors and the opening is slightly too big right now and so the opening needs to be shrunk a little bit and then new trim would have to go on after that. I've never done a project like this before, but it also doesn't seem like a terribly hard job. The outside of my house also has stucco on it since I'm here in AZ. Any help with this would be appreciated!
I watched 2 of your slider installs. Just wanting to clarify the different schools of thought. Not challenging your technique. I had seen the question asked by another viewer and didn't see an answer so I thought Id take a shot. He had asked and Im also wondering. Regarding nailing the top flange. He had said he thought you don't. Other installers claim they dont due to changes in load, movement of header, expansion and contraction etc. potentially putting lift or flex on frame or worse, glass. They say they never nail top (Or bottom if applicable) only silicone or liquid nails and then nail sides. Allowing for some freedom of movement while still being sealed. What are your thoughts ? Aside from potential warranty issues.
I can’t thank you enough .
You are welcome!
I would've laid a bead of caulk in between the concrete and the inside transition.
It looks like my door has the flange that goes behind the vinyl siding. The door is 20 years old, and I think they just nailed it to the side of the house back then. Can you just drill a hole through the flange and then take your saws all and slice the flange off?
Good video. I would say that an impact drill would not be the proper tool in adjusting the door or installing the handle.
Is there a part two to this video ?
This is a great video, but you lost me on the ending with the inch and a quarter wood that you had to add but didn't have the parts to show. Did you end up making a video on this part? I could't find it. you mentioned putting 5 quarter board on the outside, but I'm lost on how to do it.
Question, the door thst slides does it have to be on the inside of the house or can it also be on the outside of the house per building codes?
Just another viewer here. A proper install is typically with the slider on or toward the inside. So for example but not the reason, you can put a stick in the bottom track to offer additional security. I use that example to clarify what I meant by slider on the inside. Many doors can be configured by flipping and reinstalling hardware etc to accommodate this. Some allow flipping. Some allow taking the top and bottom rail off and switching. But keep in mind not all. Some you just have to buy or order correctly. When they specify LH or RH as an option to select its likely not a universal or reversible door. Universal or reversible are key buzz words to look for if you're having trouble finding the proper configuration for your needs.
All in all and educational video. In my opinion, never set a door with Liquid Nails, use 100% silicone and regardless of what you are setting it on. And I always flash the sill and tape the jambs for moisture and insect prevention.
Better quality doors aren't as flimsy and don't need a rip to pad out to the inside trim. Seeing how bowed and easy you moved the latch side jamb was concerning to me...
Good points. Got a door in the opening but he has no clue how to flash it properly.
I also was curious as to why he uses an adhesive rather than caulk.
What would you do if the threshold wasn’t level?
This guy is the best!
Thank you!
stumbled across your channel.. great content, will be changing my slider very soon. Like and Sub'd
Cuanto cobra por cambiar la puerta?
Where did you buy the door
What state are you in? I would love for you to help me with some projects
hello Josh. I did the reverse. I removed the sliding doors and I'm adding French doors. I' stuck after removing the sliding doors. How do I remove the aluminum frame that held the sliding doors? Thanks.
I don’t know your exact situation, but I do know from past experiences a sawzall is a big help in that situation. We would either sawzall the nailing flange and pull the frame out or sawsall down the middle of the frame then pull it out. I hope that helps!
I do not have a door frame to put my sliding door in. My problem is how to build that opening. All I have is an empty newly constructed 88"=H, 72"=W opening in my Sunroom Wall for a 79.5"H 70.75"W Door.
How much I can charge to replace one of these doors, thanks
Quick question 🤔 is the removal of a glass slidding door the same process as removing that style door in this video?
To piggy back, a shattered sliding door.
No need for flashing tape on the framing at bottom to prevent water damage?
Maybe not needed because concrete?
Great video! I recently purchased a used patio/French door that I would like to install in my mobile home. My concern is that the house is 2'x4' construction while the door is 2'x6' framing. Is this doable?
You will have to build out a bunch on the inside. Mobile home usually aren't even 2x4 thick
When is it worth waterproofing it?
How much do you charge for labor on something like that? Need help quoting jobs like this. Thanks!
Why not seal around nail flange with seal tape? The rest looked great.
Where do you work out of brother?
How much would this cost with labor?
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Van!
How much does it cost to install one
Hey, what about sill pan? You never put one under that there door.
I like the old door better.
Does adding liquid nails on the bottom make it harder to remove in the future? What about just using caulking?
It does hold the threshold down better than caulking. It also keeps the threshold more stable over time. I recommend liquid nails but silicone caulking is probably OK. Hope that helps!
May I ask why the bottom wasn’t weather proofed and sealed with a liner or metal pan/flange? Or does these new vinyl doors don’t need it anymore?
You should do it on a wood base. Cement won't rot.
Not really 😊
How much does this work cost?
The frame is installed first.
Did anyone start looking for their dog around 9:15???
What’s a fair price to have that done?
5-800
Now don't you need flashing in the bottom to prevent water?
I was wondering about this as well? And the top for water prevention?
@@darryn8145 I know you can skip on the top but on the bottom you definitely need tape flashing
No flashing? Doors gonna a rot.
I thought the same. No flashing tape? 😮
It's under a pretty large roof. You can tell by the light in opening shot and also see it in the reflection.
How much it cost to hire people to replace my door patio?
How much would you charge a customer for that...
No. I don't want to install a sliding patio door. I am getting replacement panels from a warranty claim and I want to replace and keep the frame that is there.
Put on some safety glasses please.
For what?
Prudence the safety goat has entered the chat.
This video was way more comprehensive at .75x
I would like one project where everything is level and plumb???? That is why these viedos are not that helpful..... Show one where and how i deal with an opening that is not level and plumb..................................
Have the wife along with ya?
I did! She is an good wife!
Did you say $360 for a patio door? That's got to be a real POS. That's a huge hole in your house by some quality so you don't pay for it over time with energy lost
Would the installation method be different if the door cost more? The video is teaching/demonstrating installation. He isn’t selling or recommending the door. The cost is as irrelevant as your comment.
No nails in flange on latch side???? Uhhhh….shady
the first thing I wish you would do is stop saying, gonna wantna do.
@@oceanair9964 you're gonna wanna do what?
Boooo. I came here to see the part you don't have the material for.
Why not speed the video up for the whole video, since more then half of if you sped it up. Video was useless
