Amy Nutt asked:


There are many little day to day things in life that can be annoying, but one of the more irritating things is a sticking patio door. The good news is that as long as you have a bit of general repair knowledge and basic common sense, this can be a repair handled on your own.

Patio doors can be removed quite easily by simply lifting straight up. The door should be able to be lifted up and swung out of the bottom aluminum track, and then the top should come out equally as easily.

Sometimes the sticking door is the result of the door’s gliding system malfunction, or the hardware is corroded, or has tightened. This can be fixed by adjusting the bottom track roller or glider. A screw that holds the wheel in place may need to be loosened slightly but be careful since this hardware is often brittle and can break easily. Replacement glides or rollers can be purchased at your local hardware store but be sure to take the old one with you so that a proper replacement part is purchased. Once the wheel has been adjusted, re-install the door to see if this solves the problem. If not, it may be time for a trip to the hardware store to get a replacement glide or roller. It is also recommended to grease all working hardware to prevent further sticking or keep any of the metal parts from rusting up, making more issues down the road. Make sure that you do this before replacing the door in its frame.

Often the sticking door is the result of a dirty track, which is also a quick and easy fix for homeowners. Again, remove the patio door from the frame and put it somewhere safe from accidents. Use a broom or a whisk broom to clear the large debris away from and out of the track. Once that is done check the track for holes that have been made by the manufacturer. These holes are purposefully put there to help keep water drained away from the track. With a small piece of wire or an opened up paper clip, clear any dirt from those holes. Now it is time to find the vacuum cleaner or dust buster and give the tracks a quick vacuuming to make sure the smaller bits of dirt are all cleared out. Wash the tracks out and off using a mild detergent and water and rinse them with clear water once the first washing has been completed. Once the washing has been completed, let it air dry or wipe dry with a lint free cloth. To help prevent further sticking, rub the track with a waxy door lubricant or simply use a candle to coat the tracks with a light waxy coating to help keep the tracks easy to roll on. Now you are ready to re-install the door and give it a test run!

Sometimes the door is hard to slide because the rollers or glides have become dirty. You can choose to replace them, but with a minimal amount of effort, it may be just as quick and easy to clean them instead. You can use kerosene or charcoal lighting fluid or mineral spirits to clean off dirt and gummy materials from the rollers with the help of an old toothbrush. Make sure that you work in a well ventilated area when using these products and wear rubber gloves to protect your hands and goggles in case you scrub a bit too vigorously! Again, once they are cleaned and dry, add a touch of lubricant to keep them working freely and prevent any corrosion from building up on them.

In each instance make sure to check the doors movement after the re-installation to be sure your repairs did the trick, then sit back, and feel proud of a job well done.

Phil Adams-Wright asked:


Many people are look to spruce up their homes at the moment and whether you are looking to move or stay, it is definitely worth considering improving the look of your home. One of the most cost efficient ways of doing this is by adding French or patio doors as these can add style and value to your home.

French and Patio doors make a really nice transition between rooms and are especially impressive if you have a conservatory as they make a nice way to enter. During the summer months when the days are longer and we have more sunlight, the patios and doors allow a considerable amount of light in which reduces the need to put the lights on inside meaning you save money on electricity.

Both French and patio doors look very elegant especially when used in large rooms as the doors make the room look larger than it actually is. One of the main pluses about French and Patio doors are that you can have them tailored to your specific needs and style of you home. If you prefer 2 sliding doors then you can choose that or alternatively you could have 1 large door.

Possibly the biggest selling point of French and patio doors is the fact that they are so energy and, therefore, cost efficient. The glass technology used in the French and Patio doors make them energy efficient and that means you saving money on your energy bills in the future. This makes them a cost effective product to buy that will add style and value to your home.

If you live on or near a main road (or just happen to have noisy neighbours) then patio and French doors may be perfect for you because they reduce the noise levels significantly meaning you can enjoy your conservatory in peace without having to listen to cars on the road or your neighbours playing music. This is down to the insulation used in the doors that allows the noise levels to be reduced.

You may think that spending money on your home is not important at the moment and that you have better things to spend your money on. However, your home should be your priority as when the housing market starts its upturn you want your house to be in the best condition possible.

Milissa M asked:


I bought a patio door set (each door is 46″x72″) at auction. I didn’t realize until after the auction was over that the frame wasn’t included. Is there any way to build a custom frame? Any suggestions to where I could find materials for this?

Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Christine F asked:


I recently purchased a home with existing french patio doors that are an odd length. They are 5′ 4″. I need to replace them, but can not find anyone that can make that size. I don’t know where the previous home owners got these doors from. Most places tell me that I can order a 6′ door but I would have to have my heating and electrical moved since there is not enough room on either side to expand without moving these things. I really don’t have the money to have the opening made larger & have an electrician & plumber come in. Does any one know where I could possibly find a place that makes this odd size? I would consider either french doors or sliders. What ever would fit. Thank you!

ScreenDoor asked:


When we moved in to our rental property, I didn’t notice that it was missing a patio screen sliding door. A month later, I asked my landlord if it would be possible for him to install one, he said that he will not do it because in the past the tenants would always break it and it costs him too much to replace. Is there any law that requires landlords to provide patio screen doors or the frond door screen?

Steps On How To Do CPR

motionlab asked:


Interest in DIY, home improvement and interior design is growing rapidly and with an increase in paid holidays, more and more people are spending their extended leisure time decorating their homes. Changes in the housing market have also led more people to follow the advice of property experts in the media for ways in which to improve their property. One issue that is mentioned time and time again is the issue of open plan naturally lit areas. One way to overcome this issue is to install patio doors.

As standard, Patio doors are comprised of two large glass panels encased in PVC frame that function using a sliding mechanism. PVC patio doors are gradually replacing traditional wooden doors and are available in a variety of different colours and styles, with more advanced safety features. Due to the hard wearing and durable PVC material these patio door do not require polishing or painting so are easier to maintain than wooden doors.

Patio doors can be custom made and due to a special assembly process implemented, each door is fitted with high security hook bolts that lock in to a one-piece steel keep plate. The stainless steel slide mechanism of all our patio doors makes opening and closing the doors effortless even for small children, and like our range of French doors, our patio doors are also fitted with an anti-slam device.

The decision to install or replace existing patio doors has improved the visual aesthetics of many properties and choosing the right company for your home improvement project is important. There are hundreds of styles and designs of patio doors available from numerous manufacturers worldwide. However, it should not just be about the quality and value for money of the products themselves. You should also consider how experienced a supplier is, and how forthcoming they are with ideas and advice.

We all expect to feel safe and secure in our own home but with crime rates constantly rising we are all becoming more conscious of the materials we use to protect our home and possessions. There are various gadgets and devices including security cameras and alarms that have been designed in order to help us all feel more secure in our homes. However, despite these developments in home security technology, the first lines of protection for our homes against potential intruders are the windows and doors.

Home security is of paramount importance to us all, as we all like to feel safe when we are at home. Increasing crime statistics have meant that our efforts to keep our families safe in our homes have been stepped up. One way that you can strengthen the security of your home is by ensuring that you have high quality doors and windows.

Traditionally doors and windows were made and manufactured from wood but in recent years there has been an increasing rise in the popularity of PVC windows and doors. There are many potential reasons for this increase but perhaps the main factor is that of security. PolyVinyl Chloride or PVC is a highly valuable material used within the chemical and building industries. PVC is not only durable but it is also cheap and easy to manufacture making it one of the most popular materials in use today. It has also proven to be much harder to physically damage thus making it harder to break into.
