    Unlike a lot of the comments I read, I wasn't trying to get a couch in my house, I actually realized that the sliding door was installed inside out and I found this so helpful so that I can re-install it right side out.

    Thank you Shannon for always explaining everything very clearly and calmly. I'm a regular DIYer / Handyman and can easily grasp the how to's of doing most things and when I can see it and simply understand it then I know I can do it even if I've never done it before, like replacing an entire Garage door, tracks and all. I of course learned it a got great confidence in my ability to do that job after watching you do it, so thank you very much for that, as well as many other projects. I know this patio door video is pretty old but my fixed door (not the sliding half) has that foggy condensation and staining in-between the glass and everyone (on youtube ) says it can't be fixed and you just have to replace the whole glass, so I'm thinking I might have to replace my whole door because I don't know how to remove the glass on a door like this. So I am watching this video in case I have to replace the door. What do you think? Thanks in advance. Keep up all the great work.

    This is the best video on removing sliding glass doors, Its the only one that shows how to take the door out without removing the stationary one, and to pull it inside the house to work on replacing the rollers. Thank you so very much! Your camera guy is very steady and close up, really appreciated!!! I've watched a lot of them this is the best!!!

    The Canadian demeanor is just so lovely...at least from the accent he sounds Canadian…anyway, excellent clip! Right now, my sliding door feels super heavy, and not being that handy, I couldn’t figure out how to pop it out to clean the tracks (even though they look pretty dang clean, or whatever. I had no clue you could adjust the height of the hardware under the door.
    This is going to be super helpful. I’ve got a weekend project that shouldn’t take much time at all. THANK YOU from Ohio.

    Just noticed this was from 5 1/2 years ago. It's funny how we can put something out there...it may seem like no one notices or cares--and then BOOM! exactly what I needed and love it--what you did that long ago touched me and my life because you put it out there. that's what I tell the folks in the ministry---it may be ages before someone notices a seed that we put out...but eventually--someone does notice. What they do with it is their choice--but they do something with it. This just proves this.

    installing new sliding doors is always good, but I want to share with you my experience, I live in Orlando Florida, I contacted the Masterslide company with the problem of my sliding doors (if you ask, I will share the contacts) they replaced the rollers, installed a track cover and a new handle with a lock. Now my door is like new and I'm as happy as a child! And most importantly, I thought that I saved more than two thousand dollars! Just because repairs are cheaper!))) so think before ordering new ones. This is not advertising, this is my case.

    My Anderson slider wont come off this way. Instead there is guide rail at the top that extends the entire length and its held in by screws that need to be removed. Once the screws are removed and the guide rail is out, you can tilt the top of the door inwards and then lift the entire door up and out.. Be careful though, once the top guide rail is out, the door can fall out..

My son in another state had called the police to make a check when he could not get in touch with me. The police came they took the sliding door apart to come in. I am not sure how they did it though. It looks like quite a bit of work! After 1 week in hospital & 3 weeks in a rehabilitation I came home. I’m fine thanks to the police!

That is what I see from looking under the door and wondered what it was!!
