I have a door that leads outside to the patio. When I turn the inside handle, the latch moves properly. When I turn the outside handle, the latch will not move at all. Does this seem like there is a problem with the handles, or with the latch?
Hello everybody,
I have patio doors that need the roller assembly replaced. In order to do this, i need to take the Patio door out.
I had already attempted to do this from inside and had no luck, there simply was not enough clearance to lift the door out of track and pull it out. The next idea i tried is to do it from outside. There is the assembly at the bottom of the door to prevent the static patio door from coming out. I have no idea how to get this out. I had tried prying it with screw driver but it just will not come out, i was putting so much force, to the point i was afraid it will break. The idea was to take this peace out and then remove the static door, and then the moving door to replace the roller.
I had added couple of pictures here for reference. How do i go about removing this door out of the track?
Here is couple of pictures showing the patio door i have. Thank you for your help.
Here is the picture showing the part i could not remove.

I have this A frame cabin with a wall of very basic stationary single pane windows that were home made in the 60’s. There is a decent overhang on the roof, but not enough when we get a driving rain. The seals around the windows are all failed and need to be re sealed. I’m trying to figure out the best way to seal them.
I’m attaching a photo of the windows as well as a drawing of the window construction from side view.
For the red spot on the drawing the seal between the stop and the glass, I was considering butyl tape, or some high quality caulking,
for the blue spot between the stop and the frame, i was thinking caulking between the stops and the 2x4 frame.
Wondering if I’m on the right track here or if I should be doing something different.
Thanks,
