This is fantastic. My grandparents said they'd been told theyd need to replace the whole entire thing, doors and all, for several thousand dollars. Now I know that it's doable and from the looks of it, not too advanced or difficult. Thanks for this video
Aw, glad to hear you're able to help your grandparents! Removing the door is the toughest part, make sure you have a second pair of hands nearby to help lift it. Good luck with the repair and feel free to reach out to us for more help - www.swisco.com/page-id-part
Great video. Concise, to the point, easy to hear and follow.
Hey, thanks! We appreciate the feedback.
Thank you so, so, so, much. I ordered mine and now will not have to replace with a whole new door. Very happy!!!
Love it! So glad it was helpful & thanks for watching :)
Superb video easy music clear voice and to the point
What a great video thank you so much, right to the point, not too much information
Hi, great video, mine has Aluminum track, do you know if I can use vinyl instead as shown here? Thanks!
Thank you!! Great instructor!
What size board did you use for the height to put the track on?
Why are screws being used? Won't it cause more leaks? Water that pools inside the tracks are designed to drain out the weep hole. If the track isn't waterproof then it will be draining into the house rather than through the weep hole. We had to learn this the hard way. Perhaps the reason for the leakage was someone screwed something under the tracks without caulking/sealing.
nice
I need to do this, but I will clean before installing the new parts.
Great idea, Deborah.
You can... 1. clean up beforehand to try to avoid replacing the track, or 2. clean up before you replace the track, to make the installation go smoothly.
I was thinking the same thing. When they were done it still looked dirty. But very nice video showing how to change the parts to make the door work better. I had no idea the track could be replaced like that.
Hi my sill/track pocket filler is damaged which was shown in your video. Can you please let me know where can I find replacement sill/track pocket filler
A list of products used in the video can be found under the video in the description. You can also go here to find all of the patio door accessories that we offer - www.swisco.com/cl/Patio-Sliding-Glass-Door-Accessories
Were you ever able to find a replacement for the sill pocket filler? I have the same problem and have not had any luck in finding a replacement item.
Any help you can give me as to how I find someone to do this? I have called 3 people and all want to replace the doors. How I wish my father were still alive, he ALWAYS knew how to fix rather than replace.....
Hi, not sure if you can help, but we've been told the worn vinyl door track for our First Inline patio doors can't be replaced, so we are going to have to have the whole patio doors replaced. I'd like to try to fix it myself first, will give your option a go!
Did you ever try to replace the track yourself??
@@megsm1839 hey, no we didn't. Just used WD-40 and cleaned the runners to keep them just about useable at present. Eventually we will probably need to replace
mine is vinly with a metal rail. it does not look like that metal replacement.
I assume you guys sell all this stuff I have to do this repair and probably rollers to but I live in Utah and it's winter with five dogs I am constantly opening and shutting that effing door

You don't have to take the stationery door off
You would have to take the inside door frame off to remove the slider and then clear the track to replace it.
I can confirm, I took my sliding glass door off without removing a single screw.
Does anyone know the brand of the door in the video? I have the same one, but no branding or logos. Just says Monterey series. 🤯
My track is currently damaged. Why do you have to take the other doors off?
I believe they did that to get the sliding door off. Mine the door can come off from the inside. I will be leaving the stationary door in place.
Fortunately my door came off to the inside. I didn’t have to touch the screen or the stationary side.
dude... were you raised on a barn? why don't you clean the filthy area before you put a new track down, takes a minute! geezz... Other then that it was a very good video, well laid out simple and to the point. Good job on that.
Why would you have to take the stationary door off???? It’s not on the same track 😉
I've wondered that myself. Seems like a lot of effort could have been avoided. That slider would have come out to the inside .
Guess it depends on if you can remove the sliding door from the inside or not.
You need the extra room unless you remove the door from the inside. But you risk not having enough grip on the door as there is 1/4 inch between stationary and fixed.
george whalen Actually you don’t need to remove it.We just replaced the strip this morning and if they are on separate tracks, the fixed door doesn’t need removed
I really don’t understand this guys video. Too much unneeded work
i thought he wanted clean both tracks while he was at it.
That's what I thought
Great video unfortunately my track is part of the original threshold
It's possible a track cover might help. ua-cam.com/video/dEOqyb8kFcA/v-deo.html
This is not the correct replacement track for that door
Wa hat kind of door is that??? I have it and theres no branding anywhere! 🤯
Bring back the old narrator
Nope. Not the same and can't find proper fitting video. I'll try to find a pro
