Patio glass replacement should pay attention to doors that are made out of aluminum and some vinyl doors as well. Near the bottom of the door, they have 2 screws on either side to hold it in place. Just below the two screws you will find that there is an open hole for the purpose of adjusting the screw, to raise and lower the roller. You will find that a wooden door will have 2 of these rollers instead of one, quite often because they have a lot more weight, and they need it in order to support the extra mass. Through plastic caps covering holes in the front of the bottom of the door the screws are accessible for the purpose of making necessary adjustments.
Be certain to closely inspect the screws and adjust accordingly when doing patio glass replacement, before you decide to pull the door out and replace the rollers. Use a large flat bladed screwdriver under the door on each side in order to alleviate the weight of the door from the roller and then proceed by turning the adjustable screw with the appropriate type of screwdriver. This could possibly solve the problem! Then your mission is accomplished if this simple step accomplishes the task of allowing the door to slide easily back and forth.
Although at times, the above operation of patio glass replacement is all that is needed to fix the problem, sometimes you are not quite so lucky. Then you may need to lift the entire door off and out of its track and remove the large screws holding the door bottom on and pull the door bottom off if the adjustment screw will not turn, or if they are missing. It is highly recommended to get a helping hand in order to lift the door out, and avoid injuring yourself! To be honest, two people are really needed for safety reasons in order to handle even the smallest sized patio doors.
