MAUMEE, OHIO – A series of eight short tips-oriented videos, featuring Ohio contractor Steve Roth installing a Therma-Tru patio door, are posted on the company’s popular video site.
The project videos detail Roth’s transformation of a wall with a window in an older home into an opening for a Therma-Tru hinged patio door. Each video includes tips for success and expertise that can be used by contractors on the job site. Steps followed include:
Step 1 – Remove old window
Step 2 – Prepare opening for door
Step 3 – Remove door from packaging
Step 4 – Placing door in opening
Step 5 – Securing the door in the opening
Step 6 – Checking door margins and reveal
Step 7 – Check the door’s operation

“The videos posted at were created especially to make it easier for contractors to learn more about the steps necessary to successfully build an opening and install a hinged patio door in an older home,” says Brad Johnson, vice president of marketing for Therma-Tru Corp. “A contractor can choose to watch all of the videos for ‘start-to-finish’ job knowledge or just one or two of the short videos to gain specific assistance with one aspect of the project.”
