So, we had a sliding door installed today. Aside from the interior being the wrong color.... We now have some gapping issues.
There is a 3" lip to get out the door and a 1.5" gap between the casing and the brick on the exterior.
Any thoughts on what should have been done differently? Seems some of the old material should have been removed, or maybe the door was measured incorrectly. I dunno.
The hole supposedly 75x80 and door 74.5 x 79.5. installer coming back tomorrow to out aluminum flashing around outside and retrim inside. I explained color is wrong. Also the sliding door was ordered for reverse opening so he had to install upside down, going to swap out glass/blinds tomorrow also. Sigh.
I can take the non-sliding portion and bend it out half an inch easily.
