Sliding door full of water

Post by Joe Wright »

Hello all. So upon shutting my sliding door I heard a lot of water moving about. I took the door panel off and it was dry inside the door but at the very bottom of the door its obviously full of water. I cant see any drainage holes and cant get access to it. Would like to get it dry before it rots.
Any suggestions? I might just make a small hole in the bottom of the door.
Thanks
Joe

I thought doors had drainage holes?
It's not something I've bothered looking into as my doors have already made their own drainage holes.. :shock:

maybe somebody filled the base with wax oil or similar blocking drain holes?

I'm guessing they were blocked when it was resprayed. Guess I'll be making my own.
Thanks
