I like how he's just having his coffee and reading the paper then decides to just knock out a major install by himself. best DIY vid I've seen in a long time. subscribed.

My kind of guy
For sure. The next day he's got his feet up, watching a ballgame. Clicks off T.V. Man I love a good ballgame, but I love pouring foundations too... And, that's what we're doing today folks; pouring a foundation on the property we're building right next door to my house. Come along, let's pour some concrete...
*Great and Easy to instal **Fastly.Cool** Low noisy*
The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC
RIP Ron, passed in 2023. Appreciate his help on doing this project. Have always enjoyed his shows.
This guys does not sweat under pressure, Khakis, pressed and still clean, #winning
That's because hes working with existing framing
Hard to find a quality craftsman like him now days
I like the video Ron. Would've been nice to see the hard parts that were skipped over though like...
1.what to do when the threshold is not level or the jambs are not plumb but you've convinced the homeowner that this is totally tackle-able without even alluding to the fact that they may need to consider this before ever putting a giant hole in their precious house's exterior wall!
2. or how to get that trim installed and looking good so that there isn't a permanent eyesore at one of the most viewed spots of their most expensive investment.
It just would have been nice for you to responsibly address these issues so that the homeowner knows that these are big to do's and important calculations.
Agree!!! Not every person can just pop old out and pop new one in without running into issues, not everyone is a natural at this stuff. I haven’t even removed the old one yet and am running into issues!
I’m installing a similar Pella door and this by far has been the MOST instructional video on how to DIY (install) it. Ignore the trolls; they never have anything productive to add. New subscriber thank you 🙏👍
You shouldn't ignore the trolls on this one. All of the installation is correct except for the fact that the stationary section and the slider section are flip-flopped. I've installed 1000+ patio doors and have never, in my career, witnessed a slider that has the track on the outside. This door is installed wrong. Period.
7 years late to say so Ron, Good CLEAN JOB! I use to watch your television program years ago. Nice seeing you in 2022 on UA-cam. Hope all is well for you and your family.

Nice job! The only step he missed was checking the door for square by measuring diagonally from the top corners to the bottom corners to make sure both measurements are equal. You have to make sure the door is level, plumb, and square to ensure it rolls smoothly. RIP Ron.
Still the best video on how to replace patio door. 👍
I literally clapped as the video ended. Amazing skills, so precise and wonderful tutorial video. Now, can you come to my house please? New home owners learn quickly how important having these kind of skills are.
Love the TotLok magnet. My absolute favorite child proofing device ever. I usually give them as gifts for new babies.
yeah, other then the sliding door being on outside preventing a security bar being used, this was good. like the use of extra flashing on all parts. good job. I'm getting some similar ones soon with internal blinds
He installed the doors backwards. The blinds were outside.
What a great teacher! Beautiful door, Great job, too. I love the blinds inside the door. They get so dusty! Thanks!
Thanks Ron! I need a helper like Jeff too. I'm getting up in age where I struggle with some of my projects. I hope he learns a lot from you.
Shouldn't slider be on inside? Inside track is less likely to get debris on it and you can put a security bar on slider when track is on inside of fixed door
Agreed. A diagonal security bar can usually be fitted to a door with an outside sliding panel, but it has to be crafted to securely lodge against the inside door handle. Problem is, the door can still be lifted off the track from the outside.
I love your new sliding paito door. I will try to install a sliding paito door. thank you
A little know-how, and the right tools makes all the difference.✌🏽
If that were me, it would be a mess.
The slider should be on the inside. The track will collect outdoor dirt and ruin the rollers in a few years. Plus it's a security risk since the slider can be unlocked or removed without too much noise.
Great video. Feels like watching This Old House as a boy.
Best of all you show every aspect of the process and leave nothing out start to finish; many other videos take short cuts and we novices are left to guess I give you (6) out of 5 * stars, Thanks a lot
Nice. I love that van and wish I had one for my handyman business.
I really enjoyed this video and the editing too! Thanks
SIMPLY AWESOME. THANK YOU KINDLY
The door is installed the wrong side. Exterior is inside.
Leave the tape off the fin until the movable door is installed and tested for smooth operation because sometimes you need to adjust the fin...so once you are certain all is good then put the final weatherproofing tape over the nails in the fin!
RON, I am a new fan!! This is a door installed RIGHT, great job and attention to detail...subscribing for sure
This is the first of your videos that I've watched. Thank you for making this such an easy to follow and understand instructional video. Looking forward to doing more projects with your instruction lol :)
You make that look to easy. Great job God Bless you .👍👍👍🙏
Great video. no mention of weep holes. I've had problems of water running over bottom door lip and into the house. Be careful of making sure weep hole is clear and works as it should.
Outside sliders like this have no need for weep holes. The water should never get past the slider.
Inside sliders need weep holes because the water is expected to get into the track. The weep holes give it an escape route.
You make great vids - Great personality and covering all the most important aspects.
Cheers, Patrick
You're a god damn legend Ron Hazelton.
He made that look super easy.
You are beautiful
Me & my son are doing an install just like this tomorrow! Thanks for the video Ron & I hope that things go as smoothly for us as they did for you! Should be interesting as neither of us has done anything like this before.....................
I know this is an old thread but I’m just curious how your project went. I’m looking to change one myself but scared to do so. Thanks
You installed a Cool new sliding door. Wonder if maybe too advance for we DIY beginners.
Looking forward to your next video.
Thanks man great video i feel confident in replacing my sliding doors now
That looks awesome !! Excellent job as always you make everything look easy !! 👍
Shouldn't the fixed panel be outside and the active panel/door inside?
It should
Absolutely.
How are these double pane filled with argon if you opened the inner pane to install the blinds and grilles?
@John 14:6 KJV I always wondered that about those Pella windows with integrated blinds. So essentially there are 3 panes of glass but only two are insulated with argon?
I'm moving into a house that has Pella windows and a patio door with the blind options. The only problem I see is with the smaller windows that are the crankout style, window doesn't seal properly.
you can't fill it with argon when it has blinds it will interfere with the blinds function and vice versa. You can get them with grilles though since they don't move but not the model shown here of course as it opens up. You go from like 0.28-0.30 (average) to 0.38 or worse with a door like this in u-factor I don't think it's worth it unless your climate is really mild.
Very informational, Thanks for the great video, if I could request please do more home DIY projects, and thank you for the great information And help.
Awesome Ron-I will be going with these type of sliding doors in my home. Thanks for doing the walk through on removal and installation. Job truly well done!
Nice job Ron. Thanks so much
I love this video. You make it look so easy.
I don't need to replace the whole slider, but I need to remove it to replace the board under it. The threshold board has rotted out. I lifted the threshold up and slid a couple of temporary shims under it for now. Hopefully it will last until this coming spring.
Shouldn’t the sliding door be on inside? Could someone just lift out to enter the home? I’ve never seen a door open on the out side track? Nice job putting it in though 👍
I am curious about that as well. Since I have always seen the security bar on the inside against the sliding door as well.
Amazing job
Didn’t the argon gas between the panes escape when installing the blinds?
Door was installed backwards! the slider door track should be on the inside. That way you can put a bar between the door and frame as added security and the track will not fill up with snow, ice, and dirt!
That's right. Funny how it can be done very well all the way around except for one fatal flaw.
there is a procedure to take out the stationary side and swap it with the slider side so that it's then on the inside. It's a hassle but it can be done. Easier to just buy one that is already inside, or to install it so its inside.
Sliding Door should be on the inside for security. Otherwise is can be lifted out, no?
You can't just swap the doors because the latching bracket the lock latches in to would be on the wrong side of the frame. I had the same problem when I bought my house, and the entire frame has to be removed, which is fine with me because I'm getting the same one as in this video.

Love it. Great for getting!
Great video. Thanks so much!
Very good video.I’ll replace mine this weekend
As a union carpenter, I approve this message.
The sliding door should be on the inside warm air. It’ll prevent snow and rain from getting on the floor.
Floor vent register is in the Walk area, should be on the fixed panel side

Awesome video , thanks 👍
Great door!
I have a question for Mr Hazleton you do have to shim there should be some shims top bottom and the sides.
Very good video , helped me. Install my door
Guys remember he said they are the ones being viewed from the outside, that's why the door was installed backwards with the sliding door on the outside .
No. You don't install a door backwards for any reason. You order the right door.
Love your videos Ron, thanks for sharing.
Really nice video, Thanks Ron!
Hi Ron,
I know this is an older video, but if you read this, I would greatly appreciate knowing the brand n model of the denim shirt you are wearing and where it was purchased. It looks really nice but heavy duty too, they are hard to find. Great video on removal n install ! Thanks Ron
What if the opening is NOT plumb?
I haven't started yet, but I know this will not be easy!
I trust him
Has this door been fitted back to front? The sliding door is always on the inside of the house here in uk 🇬🇧
No, it’s just the doors 🚪 in UK 🇬🇧 are installed ass backwards. This guy does it right!
@@SkilledFloorGuy No sir, this door is installed incorrectly.
Wowwwww ! Wish I could a have husband like him😂😂😂someday😀
You can 😁
Awesome great job
What's the name of the manufacturer who builds those doors?I love them. Great video btw.
Simonton Inov Patio Door
Why does it seems backwards? I’ve never seen the slide door on the outside.
You're right. The slider should be on the inside. The track will collect outdoor dirt and ruin the rollers in a few years. Plus it's a security risk since the slider can be unlocked or removed without too much noise.
Bob Vila ain’t got nothin on this guy!
I never use roofing nails for door install. Only screws. For obvious reasons.
Great work and video. Thanks. Beware that installing Low-E windows on west sides is a bad choice as the sun's reflections is strong enough to melt siding on homes and start fires.
Thanks Ron !
Really good vid mate. Im gona put a ranchslider in my rental this weekend.
Great video, good instruction. My installation varies, so I have a question. At 7:12, you shim the door from the inside. My home (locally-owned mass-production home builder, late 1990s) is finished with a drywall return, not a trim piece. There will be no way for me to shim from the inside, as I don't have a trim piece that can be easily removed. Having to remove and repair drywall, mud, match an orange peel texture, then (potentially) paint the whole kitchen (we don't have the original paint to touch up - depends how well Lowe's can match a sample I cut out), adds a TON of work to the project. Any ideas on how to DIY a different way of shimming? Can I shim from the outside? Would I need to cut the nail flange, to fit in an exterior shim? Would that compromise the structural integrity of the door? Any feedback is welcome. (Current glass has a shattered pane; frame cracked in several locations along corners; frame leaks into the interior track; 22-23 years old; builder grade. Fortunately only a single pane shattered, so we have protection from the weather until I can get a door ordered; but definitely time for a replacement.)
Same here, you can use expansion foam
If there are any wood fillers in the frame, be SURE to prime and paint the wood particularly on the lower portions of the doors or frame parts. Mine came unprimed and the contractor did not prime or paint. Rot at the bottom. Beware !!!!!!!! Pella warranty starts when you order the product. Not when they are installed or delivered.
Learn from other people’s experience not your experience. I learned the hard way. Replacing with Pella is horribly expensive.

The old one looked like it was quality and in good condition.
In those situations, are they ever able to be reused/installed somewhere else?
Cheaper to tint the glass.
I wish he would come over and service my opening
Could you include a list of tools and supplies needed in the description?
its easier to just watch the video
1 Ryobi Impact Driver
1 GMC contractor van to hold your screws and brackets
1 Pella door
You the best ! Awesome
Remove the doors and install the frame first.
good job Ron
Amazing Ron
Great Job can you install the same door at my home in Maryland?
You ripped out that beautiful Andersen slider for a pos pella?
Can you take the second window out when you’re installing it so it’s not so heavy or is that harder on the frame
You traded an Andersen 400 series door and downgraded a bit to the Pella designer
great video
Cool thanks
Great video. Very helpful...thank you
Great DIY Video. I'm curious, do you recommend the Pella door over a Simonton or Anderson door with built-in Blinds? I prefer to shop at Home Depot.
Perfect..
NO ONE can install a sliding door by this video….there are Soooo many things you left out.
Nice window
I noticed the sliding door track is on the outside. Mine is on the inside. Wouldn't the outside track get wet, frozen, muddy etc?
How did you take off the glass panel?
great video where did you get the door
This is way too professionally done. I won't even attempt to try this myself. I may run into problems. Mr. Ron, I wonder how much (door plus installation) this will cost me!
