	Step 4. It won't come out!!! The rollers may have been adjusted so far that they lock the door on the track. You will need to adjust the rollers back up into the frame using a Phillips screwdriver and turning the adjustment screw counterclockwise. The adjustment screws are located at the very bottom corner of the door, through a small hole or "U"-shaped punch.
	WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE EXPOSED SCREWS ON THE DOOR SURFACE, THESE HOLD THE GLASS FRAME TOGETHER! ADJUST ONLY THE SCREWS THROUGH THE HOLE OR SLOT!
	The door should start to drop as the screw is backed off. You may need to bounce the door to release accumulated rust and dirt, letting the rollers slip up into the frame.
	Step 5. It's still in there! In some cases, the addition of raised hardwood or tile floors prevents removal of the sliding door. This requires removal of the door from the outside. You will need to first remove the fixed glass panel.
		Step 5A. Remove the threshold, if necessary, to move the fixed door within the frame. Simply prying up with a flathead screwdriver should be sufficient to remove the threshold on most doors.
	Step 5B. Some fixed doors may require that you remove retaining screws on the inside of the stationary door. These will be located at the bottom, middle and top of the door.
	Step 5C. Slide the fixed door towards the center of the doorway. (This may require extra effort depending on the age of the door.) With the help of another person, lift the door from the track and set aside. The sliding door can now be removed and positioned on edge to allow access to the rollers.
		This would be a great time to clean the bottom track wall jambs. If you purchased a replacement track bead, snap it over the damaged roller track now.
