Sliding Door Light Switch
1. Dogs keep scratching at sliding door, how can we make them stop?
My dog did this too, although ours was not a glass door. He would get it all muddy. I would open the door and tell him no scratching. and then close it again. I never let him in unless he WASNT doing it, and after a few days he stopped. maybe put a bell out there and teach them to nose that to get in? It takes time, sometimes, but dogs are smart and will catch on. Hope this helps
2. Wasps and bees hanging around sliding door?
You can buy a fake wasps nest and hang it up. The live wasps will think another swarm has taken up residence, and they will leave your patio and set up house somewhere else. If there's an existing nest that you can see, you may have to get a product that will kill them. Not sure where you buy the fake nest - but try Walmart or a hardware store. Or even look on the internet.
3. Glass sliding door will not unlock in the closed position, How do you release the door lock?
Push the door in toward the latch side as far as you can which will ease the tension on the latch and then tap the door around the latch with the back of a screwdriver or something light like that. The vibration should get the hook to release where it is currently stuck, do this carefully so you do not crack the glass. Once out you should spray the parts with WD-40 or some other lubricant and confirm the mechanism is loose before re-locking the door.
4. How wide can a sliding door be open, before it becomes a security risk?
I have an aluminum dog door frame that fits from top to bottom and has channels so the door can be locked. One of these could be modified with hardware wire mesh instead of plexiglass
5. How to decorate my bedroom japanese style?
Japanese style does not usually include red. I am sitting in a traditional Japanese room right now and it has beige tatami flooring with green brocade trim. The walls are beige stucco and the window and sliding door have paper screen covers. It has long hanging scroll panels and a wooden ceiling. I would suggest a more simple color palette with a lot of beige and maybe green. Paper screens, lanterns, and a reed mat over wood flooring would be authentic. If you go with red, black, and white that is more Korean or Chinese
6. Is it safe to sleep in the basement by myself if there is a large glass sliding door?
Neither. If somebody needs in badly sufficient, have faith me, they are going to get in. we are speaking extra often than not glass the two way you slice it. positioned funds into an alarm if in any respect plausible. the different answer is to have a secure practices door put in over the patio/French door, yet this might sufficiently "grotesque it up" and imprecise the view
7. How do I install a 9 ft wide sliding door?
first things first... locate a door that will fit in the rough opening that already exists unless you have carpenty skills and know how to reframe the opening. chances are you will need to remove some siding and sheetrock to install your new door. if you go with an anderson door, you wil have to assemble it prior to installation... some models come preassembled tho... your new door should come with a nailing fin or a moulding that goes on the outside... there is a large variety of manufacturers for windows and doors so the designs vary as well... if you would like to e-mail me when you find the make and model of the door you are going to use... i can be of further assistance... for locating a door you want try places like window rama, alside, allied building products, bradco, h.verby,strober, home depot, lowes, or any building supply yard
8. What height to hang curtain rod when sliding door next to window?
Actually - either way is fine as long as it looks right to you - - The rod all the way across may look a bit odd - the separate rod scenario would appear much better -
