Default How to remove this sliding glass door?

Dumb question, but did you slide the operating half to the same side as the stationary half?





It might lift out from that side. There might be an up-stop screwed into the overhead portion of the track on the closed side of the frame, keeping you from lifting the door out on that side.



Yeah, I know what you mean. There's nothing like that. It is just that the lip on the bottom is too tall for the amount of clearance between the top of the slider and the frame. You can actually see the top of the door hitting the frame when you lift it and there's still about another 3/8" of lip to overcome.


It looks like the brackets with the slot will release the door if the
screws are loosened....tried that? Probably then would be able to lift
the door enough so that the bottom clears the track.
