Default Auto slide
The are many youtube videos on the installation of the autoslide system. No problem installing the system for a homeowner but getting power up to the unit is a problem for a homeowner (unless you have a 120 duplex outlet way up high next to the top of the sliding door).

So if I was installing an autoslide and didn't want an extension cord running up the wall for power, i would get an electrician to install a wall outlet near the unit, then install the autoslide myself.

Also I wouldn't want this thing powered on at night nor while on vacation so I would have to remember to turn on the red light every night. Then I didn't read what type of protective means the autoslide has when activated against a locked door?
