A clear and concise video! Very well thought out and, extremely well presented. The industry certainly needs better training, as most of the art of carpentry has been lost. The video is long but, it needs to be.

I watched this video after I installed my fist door it took me 2 days and is far to be perfec but I am happy 😊 I saved a few hundred dollars.
Next time I will watch this video before I start.
Thanks for your information

Why didn’t Therma True send or sell screw plugs to cover the screw holes . TRex decking you can buy the plugs to cover the screw holes . So now I have a $6k door with two sidelights to install with composite frame and can’t hide the screws behind the weather stripping. I’ll have 20 screw holes to fill and color match . Seriously .

Excellent video! Long, but excellent!

Great video, I have two Reeb French Doors, and I learned that the contractor installed the two French door’s Sill Pans using Silicone and not A HIGH QUALITY POLYMER like OSI QUAD MAX recommended by Reeb. Can we replace the Still Pans (entire threshold)?

Got to love 24:50 wow what a sales technique! Pretend to take extra measurements for show, it doesn't matter, but it "looks good" 👌. How about just measure correctly and get out of the customers house/building sooner because you are efficient, not a showman. 🙄
