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.

Four years later - from Canada: Thanks for this. Exactly the info I needed.
My screw wasn't in exactly the same place but thanks to you I figured it out and the door now locks again.
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 $$$.
Thank you for this video. I wasn't aware sliding glass doors could be adjusted. I couldn't figure out what was going wrong, after taking out a full length dog door. Greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much for making this video! I am always looking to improve my skillset as a maintenance man at an apartment complex, and helpful videos like yours are much appreciated.
Excellent job Bill. All your videos are well produced and to the point. Excellent to assist the first-timer or novice.
Thank you, Bill, I was thinking lock all the way but an easy adjustment of the roller did the trick!
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

Thank you for getting to the point immediately and making this video the appropriate length. Your video is better than most in this category because of this. Idk what's the deal with handy men making a video that are too long. They make a 4 minute video 15 minutes long.

Great video. Door closes nicely now. Thank you
Had an issue where there was a gap at the bottom portion of the door for a long time! Thought the floor was uneven or something. Found this video and fixed the problem in 5 min! Thank you!
Thanks for the info. At first I thought I was missing the screw (and the whee!) but after cleaning things up I found the adjuster just like you said. And sure enough initially I couldn't figure out why the closest (frame) screw wasn't doing anything. Cheers!
Thank you it worked🙌🏾I feel so bad and lazy due to the fact my glass door hasn’t been shut completely in a year and a half
Thank you so much. Door works seals and locks easy now.
Awesome, just fixed by sliding back door thanks to this video, thanks
Your videos are so useful! Paid a guy to come fix the lock latch only to have it scrap metal on metal ever since 😬 watched your video, adjusted the height and now smooth as!! You make DYI so simple! Thanks

I didn’t even know you could adjust them! What a great and helpful video. My sliding door only locks if I put a lot of pressure against the lock. I’ll have to have a closer lock and see if it’s uneven.
This helped me so much! Thank you!
This was great thank you!
Great information. This was really helpful for me.. I thought it was a house settling issue with the air gap at the top . Thanks for this
Great video presentation Bill

I just paid a ' handyman ' $75 to fix the lock - he should have said something, but of course he didn't - and now I have to fix the door myself for free after watching this video. Thank you. My fault for assuming!

Great video, straight to the point. With our we got a clunk & the door when closed has a large gap at the top which is now not locking.... we did find a small chip of black plastic in the track, not sire if that came from inside the door.. what could it be? I did try to adjust the screws but they did not seem to shift!!!!
Always the best Bill Keep smashing them out mate!

Thankyou for this my door felt like the wheels were square but when I took the door out of the frame it ran smoothly on the floor.
Super
Wow that's a great video, Just fixed my rolling door height. How you can remove stationary door i am trying to reverse the door opening.
Thank you, door closes better now than when it was first installed. . . . . By a chimp!
Do the rollers on top need to be adjusted?
Hi Thanks for the video. I am turning that screw on mines and it does not change anything... Can I fully remove the screw? Is there any other way to adjust? May be my door is different... It's quite heavy and big
Thank you so much! I would have had to call a handyman, and it would have been bucco bucks to turn a screw. Again thank you!!
Hi Bill, my sliding door doesn't have these screw holes.
nicest
good clip however my adjuster isn't a Phillips or a flat head screw, its an unusual flat adjuster, looks like it needs something with a slot to fit it... any idea what its called ?
I was about to install new rollers, thank god I watched this instead.

I've got an older style door. It's glass and has a wooden frame. I've tried adjusting the screws as per the video but the gap is still uneven. At most, I've only managed to make the gap a little bit smaller. Is it time for a new door?

If its a very old door, it may be time to upgrade. They make very good doors nowadays. Lowes has one for $350, but they range into the thousands for top brands. Good luck on your door.
I don't have adjustment screw at bottom of the door.
What screwdriver to use
Hi there, I see a few people have asked the same question withnk reply, my door doesn't have adjustable rollers, do you know if you can change to adjustable?
@billshowto

That will depend on the style of rollers your door has. Best thing to do is remove the old one and take it to your hardware store to see what your options are 👍
My door doesn't have screws shown in video. How I can lift the doors ?
I need to replace bottom screw he do I do that
My sliders are from 1960. They look great but are so hard to move. 50 lbs just to open them.
I have the same problem but mines feel like there’s no wheels. The panel is just dragging hard to push and won’t lock unless I pull it up. How do I install wheels or check if it’s there ?
When I went to screw the wheels...they just got pushed farther in to the track under the door. Any ideas for what went wrong/is different on my door? And/or any ideas for getting the wheels back in place without taking the door off?

Sounds like a wheel may be broken as windows aren’t usually adjustable
Hey Bill, great video. I'm a Greek wench...lol and my mama's sliding door isn't gliding like it should (hasn't for a year or so) & useless bro is well, useless. I don't have any type of drill, so can I adjust it manually (by hand) with a long screwdriver? Are the screws generally Philips head? I will give it a go tomorrow. Cheers.
@billshowto

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 👍

I’m trying to help an old lady with her 50 year old patio doors. Seems either the frame has become crooked, or the door is . I guess it’s either due to age of the patio door or age of the house. How do I straighten the door if the door is the problem and there aren’t any screws in sight? We’re there patio doors that didn’t have adjustable screws on their wheels?
IT HAPPEN ON MY SLIDING WINDOW I ISE FLASHLIGHT TO SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT, I CHECK THE BOTTOM OF IT AND SEE THE WHEELS I CHECKED THE OTHER ONE THAT HAS PROBLEM AND SEE IT WAS NOT A LINE SO I PICKED IT UP AND MOVE IT TO THE LINE NOW MY SLIDING WINDOW WORKS WELL.
Mine are fully adjusted as high as they go. Still hard as hell to shut
And if your door doesn't have those 2 little slots with screw access... then what??!
Don't use a powered screwdriver. You are more likely to strip the slot of the adjustment screw; THEN, what fun you'll have not being able to turn the screw!
Here i am throwing my door jambs out of plumb to match the slider
didn't work for me unfortunately. the screw didn't raise the wheel up and down. tried replacing the wheel and the frame still slides on the tracks. so I tried removing the entire carrier and that broke into about 6 pieces and was still stuck. ended up needing a new frame and properly designed carriers which do go up and down
IVMS 4200 framework error
Im still having the problem
