Last week, I have explained how to measure your existing sliding glass door so that you can order the vinyl replacement door. This week I will take the necessary steps for the old sliding door before discussing the new door removed.

First you remove the sliding panel and the stationary panel. The vast majority of doors out there to have the sliding panel on the inside half of the track and the stationary panel is on the outside. Whateverthe case in the door to the outside panel first. To remove the fixed panel, you have the threshold cap, which is in the ground and runs away from the fixed panel on the side where the door style sliding door locks. Force a screwdriver into the crease and pry the cap. Then you screw on the inner side posts of the permanent board in place. These screws prevent someone from prying the shell window and pulls the Standing Committee to gainEntry into the house. In addition to the posts on this page, you should check at the top and bottom head track screws there. When all the screws are removed, you must withdraw the fixed panel away from the side door style. You can start by simply grab rail alongside the fixed panel and pulled as hard as you can. If you're lucky, the panel will pop free. Then lift the panel as far as that goes into the upper channel and then fold the bottom off the track, and remove thePanel.

Well, I said, "if you're lucky, because in most cases, the panel will be glued to the side posts, the lower track, or both. In general, you must use a crowbar to the fixed panel from sliding out Loosen the side style. Once the fixed panel is out, removing the sliding panel is easier in general. Just flip and remove the bottom away from the rail, the control panel. Sometimes the lower roller is will prevent the soil swinging from the line. Howthis is the case you should familiarize yourself with the role of adjustment hole in the bottom corners of the sliding panel. Insert a screwdriver into the hole and turn the screw counter-clockwise around the drum so far into the bottom of the sliding panel as possible. The controller should occur.

Now you want to remove all the screws from the side posts, head up and down length. Then take a crowbar and use it under the bottom number in the middle. Rowing on the orbitseparated from the bottom up. The next step will depend on whether your old frame is nailed under the house, or just screwed when it unscrewed, then the frame should now lose the hole, because you have removed all the screws. You have to remove only what is lining around the door frame will be. This type of framework should be. If your front door nailed frame, you need to do a little more work. Use a hacksaw to cut them in half the work,approximately in the middle. Start to increase by half and the cut piece up to the side posts for the track piece separates from the side door style. Repeat with the other half.

So now you have to remove the side posts. You want them without damage to the exterior material around the frame to do. Take a heavy chisel and pound it into the gap between the frame and exterior material, whether it's stucco, siding, etc. Start at the bottom 6 inches first.What do you want to do is pull away the nail fin instead of the nails in operation. So, if the chisel is undercut by the metal frame, pry off the side wall. The heavier and longer the chisel, will have more influence. You hear the frame "pop" free of the nail. Various nails stayed rock layer exists, so that you start at the end and work your way into the top corner. If you loose in the bottom third, you can often grab the door, both in styleHands and pull free the rest of the nails as you upward. If you are here for free to the corner, the operation of the door. When two bodies, then do the best. Sometimes the lid has no nails or only in the middle, so that is about very simple. Ensure goggles and a dust mask when they work, especially when removing the top header.

At this point you are ready to install the new gate. The installation is different depending on whether you installa conditioning-frame-style or a replacement frame. We speak both procedures next week.
