There are usually blocks screwed to the top rail to prevent the doors
being lifted out. You might have to remove any limit stops and covers
first to gain access - maybe even handles, etc.

f.y.i - no blocks, but had to remove a 'footplate' from the bottom of the
door to remove a (rather flimsy) L shaped bracket which prevented the door
being lifted out

f.y.i. - suite still doesn't fit, how are you on removing windows ?

Think I'd do some measuring first. ;-)

If they're modern windows, they'll have all sorts of gunge sealing them
in, so probably a real pain to remove and replace without damage.

Can't the suite be taken apart?
