How to Adjust Sliding Glass Doors Rollers
Adjusting the rollers is simple and helps the door function smoothly. The wheels are behind two plug covers. You can use a putty knife to pry the covers open.
After removing the covers, you can assess Phillips-head screws. The screws control the door’s height. To raise the door, you need to insert a putty knife under the door so that you can lift it. Turn the screw clockwise to lift the door. To lower the door, turn the screw counter-clockwise.
