| Our house was built in 1990. We have a 96X80 (standard) slider that needs to be replaced. It's very difficult to open and cannot open all the way. Makes a lot noise when its opened. We are on the hillside and our house has settled some on that side. Wondering if a new slider would be ok or should we consider a french door? Also want to take advantage of the energy rebate. |

| Slider will be fine if the opening is properly leveled prior to installation. As an operator type, French doors are usually more problematic. |

| In that size opening you would most definitely need a replacement unit as new const. would not fit in that rough opening. |

| You may be able to remove some interior trim and re-plumb and square the existing door instead of replacing it. |

| Thank you. Hoping to get a new slider. Calling the local door company and getting an estimate. |
