How to fix sliding glass patio door - adjust the wheels

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

How to fix a glass sliding patio door that dosnt roll, close or lock properly. The wheels on the glass sliding patio door have an adjustment screw at the bottom of the door which allow you to raise and lower the height of the wheels. This adjustment allows you to level the door which in turn ensures the door is level and therefore allows the door to be balanced and , close flush and lock the way it is suppose to.

    Great job champ. I love it when I find good Aussie help like this. Fixed three sets of doors. I was going nuts trying to adjust the height by mucking about with the screws that actually hold the frame together. You saved me $$$.

    This worked! Thank U soo much! 2 yrs since I bought my place & dealt w/ this issue. Even the inspector didn't catch it! I'm possibly one of the least handy, mechanical, shaky fingered *impatient people! lol. I was thisclose to calling a handyman/technician or whoever who almost no doubt would've gassed me even for something so basic. 50 yr old rough looking/acting sliding door that wouldn't lock or close 100% (about 1/4 opening on the lower part). Simply tightening that lower screw basically resolved the issue entirely (+ it locks now)! THX again :D

    Hi, this can be done with a Philip’s head screw driver. Might be a little more difficult using a screw driver due to the weight of the door. If this is the case, have someone take some of the weight from the door by lifting it up while you adjust the wheels 👍
