Sliding Glass Door Rollers - Page 4

Removing Door Rollers

Step 6.  Determine if the corner frame screw goes through the roller tab.  If it does, it is okay to remove the frame screw at this time (a little oil may help.) Some rollers have flared tabs to lock them in place.  If necessary, bend these inward to release roller. Some rollers only load in from the side of the bottom rail. The frame screws on both sides must be removed Carefully pull off the bottom rail to expose the end. Remove the old roller ( you may need to pry out the housing if there are locking tabs on the side).

Use extreme caution in removing the bottom rail as older doors do not generally have tempered glass, and excessive force could cause the glass to break. Old dry glazing putty also poses a real problem. Call a local glass professional if your rail will not remove fairly easily. 

Step 8.  Install replacement roller and
door frame screw if needed.  Reverse
any steps taken to reinstall the door.
It will be necessary to check the door
for "square".  Adjust the rollers up or
down to align the door with the wall
jamb.  In addition, the door must be
aligned to insure proper latching.
Once aligned, reinstall the fixed panel
if necessary, and all frame screws in
the proper mounting brackets. 

Step 7.  With a slotted screwdriver,
pry the roller loose and remove.
