Is It Possible To Move An External French Door While Standing Up?

Door shipping via carrier involves blanket wrapping and placing them on the door edge rather than laying flat. Patios are a safety improvement, and French doors, bottom freezers, compacts, and built-in refrigerators can only be moved in an upright or prone position. To ensure safe and successful transport, it is essential to take precautions and secure straps and supports to keep the doors upright and stable.

A French door can be transported standing up to prevent glass cracks and breaks, but it is crucial to take certain precautions. One alternative method is to create A frames or use a sawhorse to lean the door against them to keep it vertical and flexing less. Company transport doors are always right side up to prevent racking, especially doors with sidelites.

French-door and bottom-freezer models must remain upright, while compact models must remain upright. Sliding doors are transported from the factory standing up, but it is inconvenient for consumers. A refrigerator should never be transported on its back, as the weight of the fridge can damage internal parts and internal fluids.

In summary, door shipping is crucial for the safety and stability of French doors, bottom freezers, compacts, and built-in refrigerators. It is essential to take precautions and ensure the proper transport of doors to avoid damage to internal parts and fluids.

  • Just a quick point about this article … although I agree your method is solid, it will not work with a short bed pick up truck like the one shown in the begining of your article ( where the door is lying across the truck bed and over the top bedside rail. Your method appears would only work with 8 ft beds .

  • i have to pick one up nearly 3 hours away. Will the door be like a sail or get jostled and bounce any using your method? I was thinking of renting an F-150 for a day. i have ratchet straps, at least two of them. The door is 60X 80. Would that likely fit in an F-150? Thank you for posting this and showing pictures of the setup.
