I purchased this in Aug. after the first big rain storm it was leaking, not from the installation but from the glass. At first, I thought okay a bad door, so I contacted the company. After making me jump through numerous hopes, their solution was to send me replacement glass that I must now install. By this time it has been 2 months of the runaround, so I thought something was better than nothing. Well, I have still not received the part to fix and now there is no more contact with them. I can understand a bad door slipping through once and awhile, but they have horrible service and could care less about you.
Sooo, I purchased a set of Left hand Inswing French doors and as I was installing it, I realized the swing door with the handle is on the right... and yes, I did install it correctly. Ugh.
@@ericmelton8832 Jeld-Wen French doors are JUNK! It has nothing to do with installation because mine were installed exactly as instructed. The doors leak and you never know it until your sub-floor and joists are already damaged. Then you say you don't have a warranty for wood rot when it is INSIDE the body of the door between the metal. Junk!!!
Jeldwen SUCKS!! I worked for them in klamath falls for a week and it just meth heads building these. As a framing carpenter i try to avoid this company at all cost. Cascade is far better.
What was the reason you quit? Just curious. I did a google map search to find the factory and the street view shows basically empty parking lots all around the fabrication building. They sell these at HD and I was considering them, that's why I'm asking. I also found there is currently a lawsuit around the former CEO for overstating earnings or something.
Nine years have passed and this door still sucks. One of the only French doors that doesn't incorporate an adjustable Astragal. All margins even and the latch and deadbolt bores never align. I have to unscrew the Astragal and raise or lower it as a whole... How most of this model leaves the shop baffles me. Hinges not in their slot with screws toenailed with heads sticking out. Then, as you shut the slab, the screw head tweaks at the jamb...I have to rebuild several in the field. Staples shot thru the jamb, threshold not attached evenly. Just an array of BS. Lowe's recently parted ways with Feather River. They should beg them back and tell JW to pack up and go.
I purchased a set of Jeld wen French doors… absolutely the worse set of doors I ever installed!!! “Pre-hung”… baloney! Everything including hinges, brick mold was sloppy and crooked. Even the plastic frames around the glass windows were over torqued causing ripples in the door. What a waste of time and money! Never again!! Absolute trash! Embarrassing to a contractor to unpack these things in front of the homeowner!

Just seen your comment on home Depot thanks for the heads up
My experience exactly!
@I Drone I am looking for a French door... What company did you settle with?
They're using Ryobi power tools that should tell you all you need to know
What size is the SIL PAN?
Please help. Installed this door like video it leaks in a rain storm.
At 3:29 in video it shows a striker plate for stationary door lock. Mine didn't come with one. Where can I get 1?
home depot
I've looked..cant seem too find them
These videos are good....but they are dealing with a square and plumb RO.....they never tell you that nothing is square and plumb lol!
The locking ball at the top of the door does NOT align with the locking ball.
Just let me know when you want to get it done

Do Not use this company. Sad. Reviews are helpful.
My door panels are rubbing at he bottom. The entire panel. How can I adjust?
TheWarrior831 cut a 1/4 inch at the bottoms
Get good
Adjust the hinges with L keys
We bought 3 of these doors from Jeldwen...horrible doors! We had leaks in all 3!!

Cool!
I can never get the right answer. I want to hang a “single” French door with no frame!
This option a double door with a sliding bolt on one. So if you only want to open single doo you can
Do yourself a favor and by a different brand of door. These are junk.
My doors will not close completely. 😑
same issue

Hilariously fake. No stucco, no real rough opening, no complex fins to extract.
haha i know what you mean. Then they say oh only takes 2 hours. 2 hours my ass. lol
Guy measured measurements directly in the center of the frame lol smh
Stupid example this. Life just isn't this easy.
I wish I had seen this first. Pure junk. Lowes and Jeld-wen refuse to take responsibility.
weird ass music
awful installation, dont ever do what these butchers just did
Awesome solutions for wooden project is stodoys.
