Five New Patio Doors


I just completed the change of  five patio doors at a home in Kona Palisades. The existing doors were aluminum single glazed that were about 25 years old.
While they still functioned adequately, they just looked old and shabby. The doors were not very air tight and allowed bugs to infiltrate the living areas.

These pictures are not pictures of the actual job, but are from the manufacturers websites.

The exterior molding needed to be custom made to match the rest of the homes moldings. They were 1" x 2.5" rough sawn cedar.
The interior was trimmed with drywall. I needed to fur out the framing and piece in drywall strips and then install corner beads and match the texture.
Each door was fitted with a lockset and they were all keyed alike.
