I replaced the slider in my kitchen with a Jeld-Wen swinging patio, did not
have to make the opening bigger, but I did remove the trim around the inside
to measure and make sure it would fit.

Whats the size of the Andersen doors, the sales people should be able to
tell you that, at least the brochure should say!

I want to have my sliding patio doors replaced.
I am fairly certain that the doors there now are the standard size (72" x
80").
I know little about construction and door/window sizings, rough openings,
etc...

The standard sized Andersen doors I want to get specify a rough opening of
71 1/4 x 80 is needed.
Question: the frame for the doors that I have now measure exactly 72 x 80.
Will the standard sized Andersen doors (above) fit correctly? What needs
to
be done to the opening?

Thanks,
Walter
