Final week I explained how to measure your existing sliding glass door so you can order the vinyl replacement door. This week I am going to go over the methods required to remove the old sliding door just before installing the new door.  [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=161cUKHcllE automatic garage doors santa monica]  1st, you have to get rid of the sliding panel and the stationary panel. The vast majority of doors out there have the sliding panel on the inside half of the track, and the stationary panel is on the outdoors. Whatever the case in your specific door, the outdoors panel has to come out first. To take away the fixed panel, you need to have to remove the sill cap that snaps into the bottom track and runs from the fixed panel to the side jamb exactly where the sliding panel locks. Force a screwdriver into the crease and pry the cap up. Then, appear for screws on the inside side jamb holding the fixed panel in location. These screws stop an individual from prying up the sill cap and pulling out the fixed panel in order to gain entry into the property. In addition to the side jamb, be positive to verify across the top header and bottom track for screws there as effectively. When all the screws have been removed, you want to pull the fixed panel away from the side jamb. You can start by simply grabbing the side rail of the fixed panel and pulling as difficult as you can. If you happen to be lucky, the panel will pop cost-free. Then you can lift the panel up as far as it will go into the top channel and swing the bottom away from the track, and eliminate the panel. Now, I mentioned &quot;if you happen to be fortunate&quot;, due to the fact in most circumstances the panel will be stuck in the side jamb, the bottom track, or each. Typically, you are going to have to use a pry bar to loosen the fixed panel prior to it will slide out of the side jamb. When the fixed panel is out, removal of the sliding panel is generally less complicated. Just lift up and swing the bottom away from the track, then take away the panel. At times the bottom rollers will avoid the bottom from swinging out of the track. If that's the case, you will need to have to find the roller adjustment hole in the bottom corners of the sliding panel. Place a screwdriver into this hole and turn the screw counterclockwise to bring the roller as far up into the bottom of the sliding panel as attainable. This must enable the slider to come out. Now, you want to eliminate all the screws from the side jambs, prime header, and bottom track. Then, take a pry bar and get it under the bottom track about in the center. Pry up till the track is separated from the floor. The subsequent step will rely on regardless of whether your old frame is nailed to the property frame, or merely screwed in. If it's screwed in, then the frame need to now be loose in the opening, considering that you removed all of the screws. You just want to remove what ever inside trim there might be about the door frame. This sort of frame ought to come out. If your door is nailed to the home frame, you will have to do a bit a lot more work. Use a hacksaw to cut the track in half, roughly in the center. Start off with either half and raise the reduce piece up towards the side jamb until the the track piece separates from the side jamb. Do the same thing to the other half.

You want to do this with no damaging the exterior material that surrounds the door frame. Take a heavy chisel and pound it into the crack in between the frame and exterior material, whether it is stucco, siding, and so on. Start off at the bottom six inches very first. What you are trying to do is pull the nail fin away from the nails holding it in place. So, once the chisel is pounded via the metal frame, pry away from the side wall. The heavier and longer the chisel, the a lot more leverage you will have. You will hear the frame &quot;pop&quot; totally free of the nail. There will be a number of nails holding each jamb in place, so you want to start at the bottom and function your way to the leading corner. When you get the bottom third loose, many times you can grab the jamb with both hands and pull the rest of the nails totally free as you go up. When you get to the prime corner, operate the jamb totally free. Do each jambs, then do the best. Often the best has no nails, or just one particular in the center, so it will come down quite simply. Be sure to wear security glasses and a dust mask when performing this job, particularly when removing the top header.

The installation process is slightly diverse, based on whether you're installing a retrofit style frame or a replacement frame. We will go over both procedures subsequent week.
