The center of our 8 foot sliding glass door bends out about 3/8 inch more than the two ends causing the door to wedge against trim that keeps the door from falling out when the door is closed making it difficult to open the door. How do I get the center of the door frame into place so the door will slide easy?

Thanks for responding so quickly. The door is made of vinyl. It is a standard 8' Anderson sliding glass door. I believe it was put in 20 years ago. It has always been kind of difficult to open and close but has really gotten bad in the last few months. I'm afraid I don't have any way of posting a picture. There is a screw right at the spot where the door slightly warps that secures the door to the header. I'm not sure if there is a screw at the same spot on the floor. I was going to try to remove the screw(s) a see if I could pry the door frame over a bit and then rescrew it.

Hi Steve

Is the problem at top from left to right or from top of door to bottom at jamb side? If it is at top left to right, u will have to remove stationary door to remove screws into header.
This will let u aline the header. Use a string set same distance out from header at each end of opening. When setting center screw have the measurement to string same as ends. Hope this helps.

Good luck

Thanks Chuck. It's a big help. I believe the problem is only at the top at the center and not at the jamb. I guess I'll see with I get the doors off. I was wondering if I was going to have to remove the stationary door to get at the header screws. Using a string to help center the frame is a good idea to.

Thanks again,

Steve
