Is a no-keyed entry glass sliding door easy to open from the outside?
I think that someone is breaking into my home via a sliding glass door. It is not a keyed-entry slider, so the only way to lock or unlock it is from inside. I know that i had a sliding door once before in an apt. i lived in that was easily unlocked by putting pressure on the handle & pushing the latch away from the frame. This door is not as easily manipulated & i am at a loss as to how they could be gaining entry through it. I noticed a couple days ago that a mud wasp nest (in the top corner of the door panels where they join upon closure) has been scraped off from where it had been since i killed the bees 1 1/2 yrs ago. Is it possible they have some type of opener designed for glass doors with no-keyed outside entry? (Like a slim-jim for a car but for glass doors?) Thanks for your help. God Bless.
What's the standard size (length and width) of a sliding glass door to the patio/backyard? thanks.?
If you can trust what ehow.com says: "Standard two-panel sliding glass patio doors come in total widths of 60 inches (5 feet), 72 inches (6 feet) and 96 inches (8 feet). Some makers offer three-panel sliding doors that are 108 inches (9 feet) in total width, and 144 inches (12 feet) in total width. The most common height for sliding glass patio doors is 80 inches (6 feet 8 inches) tall, but some manufacturers offer doors that are 82 inches (6 feet 10 inches) tall and 96 inches (8 feet) tall." All of those dimensions refer to the OUTSIDE DIAMETER of the siding glass door framing, or basically the hole the whole shebang needs to fit into, btw.

What can you put on a sliding glass door to make it slide easier?
Thats strange WD40 always works on mine .. Yeah we have to do it every couple of months, but it works!! What I would do is spray WD40 in the runners clean it completely out with an old rag or something when its clean then soak it with WD40.. You may need to put on WD40 a few days or so but should okay from there on... But those runners must be clean, otherwise the dirt or dust just sticks to the WD40 liquid and clogging the runners up!! By the way dont use grease whatever you do, I work in maintenance and grease is excellent for a lot of lubrication but not for this job, grease just attracts dust and grime clogging it up! It will also get eveywhere its dirty and messy! Stay far away clean runners plenty of WD40
How do i change the rollers in the bottom of a sliding glass door?
-Use a flathead screwdriver to gently pry each roller from its pocket in the bottom of the door. (Rollers are typically held in by friction and the weight of the door.) -Scrape any dirt from the wheels, then clean them with denatured alcohol and a rag. -Lubricate only with silicone spray, which doesn't hold dirt. -To reinstall, align each roller's adjustment screw with its access hole and tap in the assemblies with a hammer, using a wood block to protect the wheels. Once they're seated, retract the rollers as far as possible.

How do I put a sliding glass shower door back on track?
If you look at the top rail of the shower, you will notice there is a channel of metal in there at 2 different heights. The rollers on the top of the shower door ride on this. You put the door in by putting it an angle with the bottom away from the opening. Slowly put it in the channel, until you feels the wheels catch. Let the door down slowly and check it for operation. If you can have somebody help you, it makes it easier. Good Luck!
EASY 10 POINTS~~~ Teachers open the door but you must enter by yourself?
I disagree with the first two posters. I don't believe that it says you should 'pay attention in class', which is a purely modern vice. I believe it refers to the door literally being there, in which you enter. That there are specific things you can choose to learn, but you need to find them. You need to choose the doors themselves, find something you are ambitious in. Too many students today simply fail to care what they are learning, specifically. Sure, many of them deign to pay attention in class... Care about this particular method for solving this particular equation... Indeed... But the learning of this, was, in essence, the default. The analogy "Students think they can be carried through that door" sums up my point nicely. Come to whatever class you are assigned, sit down, get A's, be successful in life. That is not how it works.
Why is it easier to lift a heavy stone under water?
Buoyancy from water. Buoyancy is an upward force on an object immersed in a fluid (i.e., a liquid or a gas), enabling it to float or at least to appear lighter. It was the ancient Greek, Archimedes of Syracuse, who first discovered the law of buoyancy, sometimes called Archimedes's principle: The buoyant force is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid. The weight of the displaced fluid is directly proportional to the volume of the displaced fluid (specifically if the surrounding fluid is of uniform density). Thus, among objects with equal masses, the one with greater volume has greater buoyancy. Suppose a rock's weight is measured as 10 newtons when suspended by a string in a vacuum. Suppose that when the rock is lowered by the string into water, it displaces water of weight 3 newtons. The force it then exerts on the string from which it hangs will be 10 newtons minus the 3 newtons of buoyant force: 10 − 3 = 7 newtons. This is why it's easier to lift a heavy stone under water - the buoyancy force reduces the amount of force you'll need to exert to lift the stone.
Sliding Glass Door Removal?
For the best answers, search on this site https://shorturl.im/awf6a Wrong boys!!!!!! If that was the case hundreds of junkies and homeless people would be camped out in your living room. With the lack of imfomation given, I will assume you have a 2 panel sgd. If one panel is fixed,this panel is on the outside[typically]. It will have to be removed first. They can sometimes be a pain in the butt to remove. Some have fasteners on the jamb side through a flange into the panel. some have bracketsin various locations. Some companies even conceal these brackets. If this is your door configuration,use caution inremoving any of these panels. If the door has any age to it, connections at the stiles and rails tend to deteriorate,allowing them to separate.If you manage to slide the fixed panel out of the jamb, hopfully you can lift it and remove it, Quite often, depending on the condition of the opening you may have to use a couple of flat bars to pry the panel over a rail. Once again use caution. If for some reason you`ve succededin this removal. then you can lift and remove active panel, providing you have enough room to lift it. Are you sure you want to do this?
While sitting parked in your car, a car next to you opens their door carelessly, hitting your car. What do you do?
This happened to me once. I was sitting in a parking lot in front of a store listening to a song finish on the radio. I didn’t even notice the car pull up next to me, but suddenly I hear a loud “whoomp” and my car rocks violently side to side. Startled and not knowing what happened, I look through my passenger window and see a car with its door open that appears to be touching my car. In the driver’s seat is a man in his mid-30’s with eyes wide, staring at me. Like he just realized that my car was not empty after he carelessly (or purposefully?) slammed his door into mine.My blood begins to boil, and I start thinking about what I’m going to say once I step out of my car. I owned a pretty crappy car at that time, so it wasn’t so much the fact that I would have a (another) sizeable dent, but the fact that someone could give a door ding with such force. It literally shook me side to side when it happened. I was trying to figure out what he had against me or my car, or if he just did it for kicks. By the look in his eyes I could tell he knew he was in trouble.I grab my door handle and push it open, and a gust of wind rips the handle out of my hand. My door flies open with such force I thought it might break when it hits the end of its travel. It misses the side of the car parked next to me by less than an inch.Stunned, and thanking my lucky stars I avoided damaging the much more expensive car next to me, I look back at the man who hit my car. He’s still sitting in his car, wide eyed, with his door still open. Quickly transitioning from angry to ashamed, I grab my door, shut it, give him the flat palm gesture and say “don’t worry about it!”I did’t even look at the dent, and just walked into the store.Unrelated, but several years later, I was in my car and the wind took the door out of my wife’s hand. There was nobody in the car she hit, but we left a note under the windshield wiper with my phone number. Later on I got a call and I ended up reporting it to my insurance.So, to answer your question: that’s what I do.
