How do I repair a sliding glass patio door? It is very hard to open and close. I tried to replace the rollers, but I couldn't get the door out of the frame.
Are the current rollers trying to run on the track? Are they worn out looking? Usually you release the rollers and pull up and out to remove it from the frame.
The current rollers are running on the track. I can't tell if they are worn because I can't lift the door high enough to look under it. I adjusted the rollers all the way up to provide slack, but still can't lift it high enough to clear the frame to remove it.
When you lifted the door did the lower rollers come off the track? If not you may need to depress them to get the door off. Sometimes when lifting the door they drop down and stay on the track.
Look at the top of the door, are there stop tabs that prevent lifting the door.
Have u tried spraying rollers with WD40? This may work if rollers are dirty.
After spraying tap door frame in area of rollers to help penetrate.

I vacuumed the track , cleaned and then lubricated.I helps, but only temporarily.
I tried to adjust the rollers to give clearance to lift the door out, but the screw is stripped. Is there another way to get the door out like removing the stationary glass door?If so, how do I do it?
Isn't the stationary door mounted to the outside?
If stationary is mounted to outside, must be removed to take out slider/movable door.
