Sliders are an abortion that should be banned by the code. At
best they do not seal as well as normal doors and they are a
maintenance problem.

When I put on an addition the wife insisted that it have a sliding
door. I tried to change here mind but...so slider it was. Quality
Anderson door, and it wasn't but a couple years before she agreed with
me. Still stuck with it and still fighting the maintenance.

What maintenance? My old cheap door was a PITA, but the Pella that has been
in for about 12 years now is a well built 8' slider that gives us a nice
view into the woods. It has needs no maintenance at all, aside form normal
washing of the glass.

Sorry you had a bad experience, but I'd put another slider in tomorrow. We
love it, even in the very cold weather so we can watch the snow while
keeping warm.
