somewhat stupid question re: sliding glass doors

I agree with everyone who has said that taking the front door off the hinges will be easier. Movers are pretty good about getting large things through small openings.

I agree as well, but if it's a standard-sized door, the couch probably won't fit even with the door off the hinges; it's 38" at it's smallest dimension (height). I will certainly try that first though.

Regardless, I'm not too worried anymore. This couch I bought is just really sweet and I would be somewhat devastated if I had to return it because I couldn't fit it in the house. But now that I know I can safey get the sliders off, everything's cool.

Sorry man. I was literally walking out the door at work.

There's usually a latch, lift, pull-out-of-track thing going on. Every slider has some variation of this.

Won't be a problem.



PS - When's the first game? Also, are you going to now be like, living in sin, or is this straight-up Rayville?

SPR,

To get the sliding part off you're likely going to need a fairly long philips. There will be a hole at the bottom of both sides that should have a plug that just pulls out which you'll stick the screwdriver in. Twisting this will lower/raise the door which will then allow you to lift the door up pull it off the tracks.

I was unaware that taking the stationary part off was easy, and was actually under the opposite impression, but maybe this changes from door to door.

I'm guessing that this is just a 2 pane door, or does it have 3/4?

2 panes, yeah. hopefully i won't even need to take it out anyway. i'll be able to get in there and measure in a few days.

...and watch out moving nice couches in.

I've been under-manned a couple times and end up tearing the [censored] couch when it snags on something in a doorway, like a latch or lock mechanism. I would consider one man per end to be insufficient, but again...


...that's what she said.



Goodbye, sweet couch. Hello, fugly slip cover.
Learn from my mistakes, son.

been there, done that. you ever happen to notice the long torn part under the front cushions on the green leather couch in my living room? yep, that was from a nail sticking up from the threshold. but hey, at least the chair has one to match!

anyway, this time i'm paying rotman's $100 not to f it up; my only job is to make sure the opening is big enough. but then again they suckered me into leather protection, so even if it does get torn, it's on them anyway!

Don't feel bad, you'll need the leather protection for the house christening that will surely ensue over the next few weeks...*shudder* imo
