Shannon is the best! I've watched quite a few of his videos. Very thorough and clear about what he's doing. And notice there's not a lot of wasted time where he has to think or correct any mistakes. Good job!!
Buying house and garden door I'm installing myself ! My late husband was a master carpenter ( we did alot of remodeling and building new homes , decks etc . We had our business 16 year's before he died unexpectedly ! I'm going to try and do this by myself hopefully he'll be smiling for me from heaven . Thanks for your video , without him I need to watch this for sure he Typically would be telling me what to do 😊
You do great work, i have a project coming up to remove my sliding glass door and will definitely be using your sliding glass door video to complete the work. Keep up the good work!
I have to remove and reinstall a glass sliding door and frame (out of square) these two videos really helped me. I particularly like how you occasionally add what to do in different circumstances or not having particular tools. Thanks.
Hahaha. That's going to me tomorrow. I broke my sliding door last night and now the wife wants me to just replace the whole thing with french doors. Going to be a learning experience.
Darnit man, I totally need your skills here at my house, LOL. I am watching you and I gotta say, you make it like its nothing. I would be scratching my head for hours...
I think the difference between garden doors and french doors is if you Qui Qui on them. But seriously, I've never seen french doors where only one door opens. Both of mine open and there's no center post.
Thank you the lovely wife wants me to remove our sliding door and install a French door this weekend I’ve searched and watched tons of videos and yours by far is the most informative, thank you , btw I sub to ur channel
Shannon can you make a video how you finish the inside of the door and the window I have seen the insulation video your talking about I'm still confused about how the trim is toning to be installed would really appreciate it when you get to that phase of your build if you can do a video thank you once again great work very informative and accurate and on a personal note very motivational to work on my home
Thanks for the video. Your door opened and closed fine but what if it had blinded? Would that be a sign that the casing wasn't completely level, plum, and square?
@@okcitylive7953 You missed it. He did check underneath the threshold and it was solid across its base. He made the comment about watching out for channels, especially on all aluminum thresholds, and there were none present underneath this threshold
I feel like I'm missing a piece of information on how you got the frame prepared for the Garden Doors. I watched your video about how to remove the sliding glass doors (very helpful btw) but I can't seem to find the video on applying this membrane you speak of and other preparations you made to prepare the door frame. Can you point me in the right direction as to which video to watch, please?
I only saw you drill some screws thru shims but not any "solid" nail/screws to secure the door frame...am I missing something here? just feel little bit curious.
I had a set of those Milwaukee drills once, and I found them to be very disappointing, slow, power lacking. I thought I had a bad set, but I see yours is the same. I went to Dewalt XRP, a lot heavier because of the NiCad battery but can blast a 3" screw in way faster and the pack lasts for a very long time. I hear the new Milwaukee's are kickass though... but I guess pretty much anything new is superior to the older stuff.
Hi Shannon, I'm installing some double doors with no flange on the exterior side. What is your recommendation to seal the exterior? I don't think backing is a good option when dealing with water.Thanks!
Do you have a video on a replacement on a old aluminum sliding door to a vinyl door? I have a aluminum door on Cedar siding was wondering how to cut the siding to get to the door fin.

This was a great video series. Really helped me prepare for an upcoming project. Love watching real trades people practicing their art.
Thank you for these videos, they have been a huge help . You are the best home improvement youtuber, by a mile.

Thanks Shannon. Very informative.
Good stuff . You guys make it look easy which is more $ for me when weekend warriors try it themselves and I have to fix it.
Hahaha.

Fantastic!
Great video man.
super clear instructions
Good job ,A.
Shannon can you make a video how you finish the inside of the door and the window I have seen the insulation video your talking about I'm still confused about how the trim is toning to be installed would really appreciate it when you get to that phase of your build if you can do a video thank you once again great work very informative and accurate and on a personal note very motivational to work on my home
Please see my video on how to install window and door trim on my you tube channel.
Thanks for the video. Your door opened and closed fine but what if it had blinded? Would that be a sign that the casing wasn't completely level, plum, and square?
That is right , it would need more adjustment
I LIKE YOUR VIDEOS...SEEMS EASY TO DO. ALTHOUGH I'M SURE THE LIFTING, ETC. IS SOMETHING YOU ARE USED TO DOING.
THANK YOU. I'LL TRY IT.
Great video thx
Since the shim is a wedge, isn't it only tight at the inside edge? Does screwing it in at the outer edge cause the frame to twist any?

Just can across your video. Why are the hinges on the outside ? I would have used a new frame and doors with in swing.
Tamper resistant hinges. No room to swing doors into this dinning room once there is furniture in it.
Videos are great, but how do you replace the sliding part of a double glazed sliding door, but keep other half as it is?
If you are wanting to keep the fixed side and replace the slider with a swinging door that is not a good idea.

I watched your video about how to remove the sliding glass doors (very helpful btw) but I can't seem to find the video on applying this membrane you speak of and other preparations you made to prepare the door frame.

Here is a link to the window video that shows installing the membrane. th-cam.com/video/dC3_0srY0Rs/w-d-xo.html
They can reach the set screw from the outside as well on the hinge. Them having access to that- still seems like a security issue.
If they want to take the extra time.
I know this is an old video, but how do you typically flash the pan over vinyl siding?
I only saw you drill some screws thru shims but not any "solid" nail/screws to secure the door frame...am I missing something here? just feel little bit curious.
The screws are all you need. If you want you could add nails through the outside brickmold.

I just got a set of the "fuel" Milwaukees and they have way more juice!
I have patio door with 65 inch. I was told now they make 60 & 70 inch only. Is it true? If true, any body makes 65 inch width.
I have bought new patio door and frame. Do you recommend taking doors out of the frame before installing it? Or install in one piece? Thanks!
Either way will work , I prefer to leave them in if I can man handle the extra weight.
excellant

Isn't it a bit of a security concern having the hinges exposed outside.
+Bob Larkins tamper proof hinges.
Ah missed that
Do you have a video on a replacement on a old aluminum sliding door to a vinyl door? I have a aluminum door on Cedar siding was wondering how to cut the siding to get to the door fin.
What exactly do you mean when you say plum? Sorry, I'm new at this. Love your videos.
The difference is that "level" is checked on the horizontal axis and "plumb" is checked in the vertical axis. Great question though!
When I shim I insert a shim from each side to press the frame out evenly? Is this just a thing for the camera or did you mess up?
little wee set screw

Why was there window hardware associated with the door frame in the video..??
+Tim Connelly One side is a door and the other is a large opening vent/window.
plastic windows and doors. ugh.
