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.

You didn't build up or shim on the sides?? Especially the lock side because I can see the nailing flange?

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

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!

[davidharrison]

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 for this video, my son is just starting to play. I know this is going to help tremendously

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.

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.

I'm impressed, you did it again great work, and I can't wait for the tile installation, keep up with the good work.

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 watching someone that's straight to the point, and not trying to be a movie star like Jeff @ home renovision. Overexplaing every little detail.

How did you finish out the interior floor where the adhesive squeezed out?

[elijahjohnson]

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

[r.jenkins]

Man I need to hire this guy! I feel so inspired, this was a great video!

[mudakllc]

Good installation Demo.😊& compliment to your wife on a good shot with the video camera.📸

[CassTeaElle]

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.

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?
