Great video! Great product, too. I'm replacing the self-designed weighted closer I added to the backyd patio doors. Much better choice here.

Great stuff once again Mr. Massey!

Just installed this type of door. Our opening was only 57 inches, so had to cut the rails down quite a bit. Make sure you assemble the door first to get the correct measurement to cut the pieces. Very easy installation with a helper. It works just fine.

Would it fit on an Andersen Frenchwood 400 series double inswing door with two tracks built into the sill, protruding exterior door lever-handles and astragal?

Is it the same installation for a slider? Will the screen opening be in the middle

Could you do this installation without screwing into the sill and brick moulds? My brick moulds are part of the door and I really dont want to ruin them.could a quality double sided tape work?

Works great

shouldn't there be silicon or similar to prevent water entering the screw holes and rotting the wood frame?

My bottom sill has a track, and there are side and top rail tracks. Do I need to replace?

My french doors open outward, so that whole system has to be installed inside. is there another option ?
