Replace a Sliding Patio Door | |
The job involves basic carpentry skills like removing the old trim, door and jamb and then installing the new unit. It is important that the new door be installed square and plumb so work slowly and follow the manufacturer's directions. This project can be done with hand tools, but an electric drill and circular saw will get the job done quicker.The door is heavy so plan to have a helper moving the old and new units. Tip: Since you're opening a large gap in the side of your house, weather is a concern. Choose a warm day when no rain is predicted. |
