Patio Doors

Dinosaur asked:


Has anyone had issues with the blinds in-between the window? I noticed alot of sliding patio doors have these now.
Is it hard to install a sliding patio door if it comes pre-hung or is it best to hire a pro?
I would have to take out my existing sliding patio door.

My patio door is not sealing properly anymore. It is about 12 years old. The door is square but I believe the house has moved some which is causing gaps. What are my options for getting this fixed?

A) Should I replace the whole assy, door and jam included?
B) Should I replace the jam only?
C) Is there a way to take the molding off the jam and re-adjust the door assembly so that it is square again?

Thanks.
This is not a sliding door.

My dog gets scared and scratches through my screen on my patio door. He’s ruined 4 doors already and I’m tired of redoing my door all of the time. Please help! Thanks

Homeowners Assoc claims we are making a structural change by replacing the patio doors. Are they correct?

I have an old sliding glass patio door that is kept closed by an old broom handle. I am worried about the securtiy of this, however the lock will not latch to the clasp. Everything is aligned, but I have bent and moved the clasp and still it will not grasp the lock. Any ideas?

Our patio door has a draft coming from the bottom. The draft is where the door slides, on the stationary door. Any ideas?

My sliding patio door has a draft between the stationary portion and the sliding portion when it is closed. When it is windy snow and/or rain will come through this space as well. I tried some weather stripping, but because it slides the adhesive has worn off. Does anyone know of a solution, or a different type of weatherstripping made for this issue? I have had no luck at hardware stores.
