I need to learn how to install a new sliding glass door to replace the old one that has seen better days. The place where I bought the new one charges and arm and a leg to do the installing! Thanks much to any one that can help !

An arm AND a leg--that is a lot for a slider--I usually just go for a leg--they are bigger. Much depends on the original installation,weather siding must be trimmed and a few other items. Try to post a picture if you can---Mike---

You might reconsider the price of having a pro do it afterword, but it can be done. __________________ To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.

Fixing the interior/exterior trim is more time-consuming than the install. In my experience. __________________ Quote: Originally Posted by Bud Cline To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater. You currently have 0 posts.
