We picked one up at Lowes, with the blinds built in between the panes and had it delivered. Luckily, our rough opening was fine, and didn't need to be torn up so much. I had it installed in an hour! However, the dance of leveling, shimming, leveling, adjusting, shimming, re-shimming re-leveling, etc. took ALL WEEKEND. I was really close to throwing in the towel, but finally got it in decently. We love it, but I'm not sure I'd want to tackle one of these beasts alone again.John @ AZ DIY Guyhttp://www.azdiyguy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182667906240347144.post-64717010389053770812014-07-15T13:46:42.700-07:002014-07-15T13:46:42.700-07:00We're upset that we couldn't find an outsw...We're upset that we couldn't find an outswing door without a "custom" price. I've kinda known that for a while (been wanting to replace the doors for over two years!), but apparently I didn't tell Mr. Goats about it. Whoops! Both doors open, but we'd have to move the table back if we want to get the inactive door opened. Needless to say, that's probably not going to happen very often. But I totally get it (and that's why it took so long for us to replace our door! "it worked" - until it didn't ;-) ). <br /><br />Is there a way to "turn" the door? Might have to chisel for new hinges and turn the handle around (<i>and</i> route new holes for the locks), but it'd be cheaper/easier than adding a new door, hmm?Gina (Lady Goats)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07466534934088278977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182667906240347144.post-34415286581888852992014-07-15T13:42:39.010-07:002014-07-15T13:42:39.010-07:00It does look great - haha!

It was the ...It does look great - haha! Thanks :-)<br /><br />It was the "shimming" - the instructions said to shim until there is an even gap along the top and between the two doors. We were able to get an even gap on many occasions, but couldn't get either one or both doors to open, even with an even gap. <br /><br />Fortunately, when the contractor got here, he said the same thing we were saying ("It's not doing what it's supposed to be doing!" pretty much sums it up. Meaning, that if we added or removed shims to move the door up or down, it was doing just the opposite). Apparently, it's just trial and error. We weren't patient enough to keep trying and erroring. :-pGina (Lady Goats)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07466534934088278977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182667906240347144.post-78474732251531162732014-07-15T08:49:26.495-07:002014-07-15T08:49:26.495-07:00Looks really nice.

However, the side that opens is hinged on the inside edge, therefore it opens up towards the table and we have to move the chair for it to be totally opened up. Drives me nuts. I would like to replace, but practical husband says, it works.
