# OT - Installing sliding patio doors

Posted by MIKE (93VE) on July 14, 2003 at 10:23:12: What a freaking pain in the ass. My first time installing any type of doors or windows and I choose to install a 3 panel sliding door, mistake #1. It looked like a easy job in and out 1-2-3, mistake #2 looks can be deceiving. The hardest part was getting the door frame level. We had it all from shim packs, levels or various length, square egde, tapcon screw, silicone, drill and bits, different size wood to form out the frame, you name it we had it. Now the door panels aren't sitting straight/leveled but I'm gonna give it one more shot in correcting our mistakes then I'll leave it to the professionals. Hoping they won't charge me much to correct my mistakes, their initial charge was $500 for labor. Replys: Nasty...
