    thanks for the video. This really helped because my frame was hard to loosen up.

    You're a mensch! Finding your video saved me the cost and headache of replacing perfectly good French doors for ones with the blind built in! That's easily $1,100 I don't have to spend now!

    Not sure if you know the answer to this question but my window already has them installed they’ve just completely broken inside I’m sure that there’s glass on both sides of your insert correct? I’m just wondering if it will work on replacing one that’s already there?

    I’ve never seen that… bummer

    I have a similar door and magnet doesn’t work the blinds up and down anymore. How do I fix it? Or do I need to replace the entire glass panel with blinds? Also how would I take this off to even check the magnet?

    What if you have no frame
    To attach to? My front door has this look but only half the panes. Not fool think. You made it look very e
    Day. I’ll have to figure out what to do since there’s no border or frame to attach the glassed in blind. Great demonstration thank you so much.

    where about a sliding door?

    I installed two, one on the door like you installed and also on the other french door window that does not open. Love them except for the one installed on the window that doesn't open developed mold inside. I think this was from the seal being opened. The one like your door shown in the video I also had a storm door that helped keep out moisture for that one and it did not develop the mold issue. I removed it and cleaned, then reinstalled and tightened the screws, and also replace the white rubber covers to also potentially help with moisture getting in, before installing the blinds again.

    My mini blinds window glass has moisture got into. How to Re move them? I think the seals are broken due to the patio doors are west- facing to sun. Do I have to replace the whole window glass panes? If I have to, how to do it. Can you advise me. Thanks

    The new ODL add on frame covers part if the deadbolt. Is there a gap on that side where the ODL frame covers part of the deadbolt? Is that gap visible when you look from that side? Or can you cut the frame where it covers the deadbolt?

    Worth watching!!!

    How do you keep the blinds from shifting out of the track when the door is opened and closing. Ours rattles the blinds out and have to take them down to fix them back in the track so they can function.

    It covers part of the door hardware trim on both the lock and the handle. Not attractive.
