How To Take Off A Marvin Door’S Outside Stops?

To replace a Marvin window or patio door, follow these steps:

1. Crank the handle a couple times and push down on the arm to push the window away. The arm can be disconnected anywhere within the first 45 degrees of opening. Crank the arm back to the closed position.
2. Reinstall the stop by sliding it in at the bottom first between the bottom panel drip cap and jamb. Press the exterior flange of the side part stop into place first and then press the interior side of the stop until it snaps along the entire length of the stop.
3. Open the door as far as possible and cut around the perimeter of the doorstop with the tip of a utility knife. Slice along the edges of the doorstop where it joins onto the jambs.
4. Remove covers by starting at the top of the exterior part stop, using a hammer and block to start to disengage the cover from the accessory kerf. On exterior applications, use a reciprocating saw or hammer and chisel to remove the blind stop.
5. Remove superficial surface dirt by washing painted wood exteriors with water and a soft-bristled, long-handled brush (such as those used for washing cars).
6. Order replacement parts for your existing Marvin windows and doors by filling out the Marvin contact form or calling support at 1-888-262-4192.
7. Check for torn or short weather strips on the sill, head, jambs, part stops, and stiles. Use a putty knife to raise the part stop if it has slid.
8. Rotate the sash until the pivot pins clear the jambs and remove the top sash from the frame.
