Quoting: Hiram's Apprentice bless his little heart. sliders glass doors can be very dangerous to kids and big dogs. |

User ID: 80346963 United States 09/10/2022 09:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I just replaced the latch and wheels on a 40 year old pella door. Latch alone was over $250 for Pella parts. Bottom of the door had rotted out and needed to be replaced as well. Great when they work but having a strange house with 5 doors on the back is overkill.
