Prices of exterior double french doors fiberglass
Comments (2)funny you should mention this. We just got a bid for the same doors i believe i the 8 foot size and they actual doors came to nearly $2800k and the two side lights came to $1200. This was for 5'x8' doors though...See MoreFrench pocket door lock
Comments (5)The old-time way of stopping double pocket doors was a flippable toggle screwed into the embedded edge of the doors. If the toggle was out, it would catch the jamb and the door would move no further; for working on the door (and getting a lost item out of the pocket) the toggle would be turned with a thin tool (yardstick, putty knife) and the door would be free. They once sold patented cast iron versions, but a simple wood toggle will do. You can buy complete sets of vintage sliding door locks/pulls on ebay. oy vey!

Comments (7)Hello brushworks, nice to see you over here. Anyhoo, I have something funny about Anderson doors and something nice. Funny- my sister checked on my house while I was away. She had to go into the yard so she was able to unlock the french doors- I have those long door handle thingys. But she was unable to lock them. She tried everything. She finally went to the garage and found some huge zipties. She ziptied my doors shut. I came home to find all this stuff laying on the kitchen table. Then when I went to go outside I found the doors zipped shut and realized what she did. She did not even think to pull the handle up before turning the lock- so like her! Nice- my house was built in 1998 and doors were installed by builder. I clean the exterior glass and frame every month or so as needed. The other day I noticed the outside vinyl laminate is buckling off. After further examination, every door- I have three sets- has some pc which is delaminating. So I see there is a transferable 10yr warranty. Anderson is sending me a form to mark where the problems are and I need to submit pics. Because they do not replace laminate they will probably just send me new doors!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW I am impressed. What service!!!!! I will have to switch out the hardware but that should not be a problem. Hopefully I will not have any issues like you, since I will just be rehanging the doors. I will be cautious just in case. Good luck with your balancing act....See More2 windows and double french doors vs 4 panel sliding doors
Comments (41)We built in 2021 and ended up with 5 multi-sliding doors from Euro-wall. We needed impact/hurricane rated doors. All of ours are 10 ft high to fit our 12 ft ceilings. Our largest is 6-panels and 18 ft wide. We also have 4-panels that are 12 ft wide and 2-panel that are 6 ft wide. Very happy with them, except one is missing weather stripping and we have been waiting forever for the window/door dealer to send their warranty crew out to make the repair....See Morelovegasoline
