Is replacing a sliding patio door with french doors a good investment for resale?

Tuesday, November 30th, 2010
Sadie08 asked:


Our standard sliding patio door lock broke, and I’m wondering if we should just repair the lock, or spend the money to get french doors instead. My husband doesn’t think it will make a difference. I want to put our house on the market next spring so I’m trying to work on getting it ready now. Thanks!
Thanks! I hate sliders too…just trying to convince my husband (and make sure its a good investment). Our kitchen is large, but we do have a kitchen table right in front of the door. I think if we could get outward opening ones it would be good. The ones I’m looking at have the built in blinds encased in glass which I LOVE!

Where is the ideal place to buy patio doors from?

Monday, November 22nd, 2010
K Yo asked:


I need a new sliding(gliding) patio door. I live in Chicago suburbs and I’ve been to Menards, Lowes, and Home Depot but their prices are somewhat out of my range.

Does anyone know a good place to buy patio doors from? Something that’s not very expensive (around $500). Are there any direct outlets that sell patio doors for less than hardware stores?

Why are my patio doors cloudy?

Saturday, November 6th, 2010
NEWTOME asked:


I figure it’s because the seal broke and moisture was allowed between the glass…what I don’t understand is why it happened to two of the doors (in seperate rooms). Shouldn’t the doors hold their seals better? How many years should the doors be able to hold their seal?

We bought this house a couple years ago and the patio doors were cloudy at that time. It’s no problem because we planned to change them out and upgrade them anyway. Now that we’re ready to replace them, I’m wondering if there’s anythig I should know before I purchase new doors. We’re in the north-east and energy efficiency is key.
