Sorta OT: Replacing windows & sliding doors in MD

I will be needing to replace 2 banks of sliders and am looking for
info as to the best place to order sliding glass doors, french doors,
and (eventually) replacement windows in the MD/DC area.

Each "set" of sliders consists of a 3' fixed panel with a set of
sliders. There's a pair of such sets on 2 floors that desperately
need replacing as they date back to the early 60s and don't exactly
lock very well (at all in some cases so I will be relying on a pole in
the track).

I've installed sliders in new construction, but any thoughts on
additional issues with yanking out the existing stuff and installing
new? I don't see it as an overwhelming challenge (remove door from
frame; install frame; reinstall door into frame), but what am I
forgetting?

Thanx
