I also got the primer for the wrap flashing so it would adhere better. Im going into brick so the flashing is alittle tricky but im going with vinyl trim to match the door cladding
installing new sliding doors is always good, but I want to share with you my experience, I live in Orlando Florida, I contacted the Masterslide company with the problem of my sliding doors (if you ask, I will share the contacts) they replaced the rollers, installed a track cover and a new handle with a lock. Now my door is like new and I'm as happy as a child! And most importantly, I thought that I saved more than two thousand dollars! Just because repairs are cheaper!))) so think before ordering new ones. This is not advertising, this is my case.
Next time start at the top with the siding then you only need the zipper tool for the first piece. You can pop the rest off the nails. Then when you go to install pop back over. 20 minute process in total.
Our back sliding glass door has only 1 pane of glass in it. Previous owners or someone must have shattered the glass panel on the outside and decided to chip away as much of the glass that they could to hide it, as you can see the remaining jagged edges of the broken panel all in the inside edge. the inside seal/strip is all deteriorated also. I am looking around online to see if it is possible to repair this door and put a new glass panel in it and fix the seal?
@@youtube02348jf oh man! Sounds like a mess. Probably better to replace it. The new ones are pretty efficient, I noticed a difference in temperature, not as hot when the sun beams through.
I know you put the butyl tape around the frame and the flange but did you install any flashing (vinyl or aluminum) under the door sill or above the door? I wasn't sure if the butyl tape is pretty much taking the place of flashing these days. I am at the coast so I need to be extra vigilant about flashing and around here they use the hell out of that butyl tape. I like the way you put it around the frame before you even set the door, nice touch!
My house was built in 1967 is the ranch so the windows are up high I'm sure I can't even see out of my windows how do I fix that do I lower the windows remove the brick and bring the window down or replace it with new windows
It might be a good idea to mark your siding with a piece of tape with a number on it so you can put them back in the same order. Walls are rarely perfect top to bottom.and you may end up with gaps if you don't put the siding back in the same order.
Nicely done. One thing that could have been done better was the application of the "protector wrap". It would have been better to get it in behind the house wrap the best you could. With the "protector wrap" on top of the house wrap water that gets in behind the house wrap from above now has a chance to get behind the "protector wrap". I doubt that's likely to cause any problems but just a nit pick I noticed.
@@SkiBumLee it took me the day with my buddy. I could have done it quicker if I didn’t remove the siding. Depends on where you live, but i would imagine a handyman would charge anywhere from 500-1000. Might have to factor in any trim work as well.

I haven’t done one over brick, but it definitely sounds like you’re on the right track.

Noob question here I know but......when they say left or right sliding, is that standing inside or out ?? Can't tell when purchasing on- line.
Hello, it’s from standing outside. Thanks from watching!
@@ScienceMonkey00 Awesome, thank you for responding !!
Thank you man I was wondering too lol
@@Redheadkingpinn are you laughing at a dumb question ?? lol
@@teresa6775 I’m laughing, because even the lowes manager didn’t know the Which one to choose
I probably would’ve measured 3 inches side to side and top and put a 5/4 around the outside you doing a good job just a lot of work
@@clarencejackson5284 yeah I made extra work for myself, but it doesn’t leak so fine by me. Thanks for watching!

I have concrete siding so planning on cutting the flange... comment?
Yep, that can be done. My buddy actually recommended it first this but I decided to keep it.
I would pop a line 3 1/2" all the way around from the door out and install white vinyl trim boards 1x4 after install and seal everything.
@billykidd6971 what I ended doing and looks great...tkz😎
One question If Coding to concrete block.Do I need to add to my opening Two by Six Treated wood frame first
Not sure what you mean, but you need to make sure your rough opening is big enough for your door.

@@Letizia4813 I honestly don’t remember, but I believe I did have a piece of flashing that I installed from when I removed the old door.
is this a right door because it opens from the right ( on the inside) or a left side because.it slides from right to left im confused
@@jonathanc8513 when looking from the outside the left side slides.
@@ScienceMonkey00 thank you!

It’s a debate between me and my buddy! I like it under, he likes it over…lol
What’s the material for the extension jams?
Primed finger jointed pine
I'm about to buy one of these for the west side of the house in a bedroom / sunroom. How are these in winter? Is the insulation good enough
@@JayH-y1z yes, I’ve noticed significant improvements in both summer and winter with this door.
How long is the total time to remove and install?
How much time should a handyman charge, that does this for a living?

You could have just cut the flange all way around between the siding and the door
@@Kippvon yes I know.
I would have just fixed the rollers on the old door and cleaned out the tracks
I did that initially, and it did nothing. The glass on this door was shot as well, so it was time to go.
Please tear off siding from the top down. 😂🤣
Lol. I know when looking back that would have made my life so much easier! 😂😂😂
Poorly done. You make us watch you remove each and every siding piece.
Nope. Excellent video especially for folks who have never done this before.
I mean, if you didn't want to watch the siding removal, you could have just skipped forward... 👍
