Hi !,
new suite on order - we are going to have to remove the 'sliding pane' of
the patio door in order to get it in

where do we start ?

Of course this may not apply to yours but, in the open position it should be
possible to lever the door up off the bottom runner and then move it out and
down, releasing the top. You shouldn't be able do this in the closed
position (clearly, for security reasons). This procedure is fraught with:

a) difficulty - it'll be very heavy and suitable levers are scarce
b) possibility of damage to the bottom edges

some great big sucking handles to go on the glass would also help, if you
can get them
