How to Adjust the Operating Panel's Rollers on an Andersen® Gliding Patio Door

If the operating panel moves stiffly, it may be dragging slightly because the door is out of alignment. The operating door panels can be adjusted up or down in the unit frame to resolve the concern. To adjust the operating patio door panel, follow the video or written instructions below to adjust the patio door's rollers.


This Article Will Help You:

  • Check for adjustments.
  • Adjust the operating panel.

Tools and Supplies Needed

  • See installation guides or YouTube® video for tools.

Let's Get Started

Check if Adjustments are Necessary

Confirm if adjustments are needed:

  1. Open the operating patio door panel slightly, leaving a narrow gap between the panel and door frame. See the image to the right.
  2. View the gap from top to bottom.
    • If the gap is not equal from the top to the bottom of the frame down, the operating patio door panel requires adjustment.

 

Adjust the Operating Panel 

Follow the instructions to adjust the rollers on gliding patio doors in the YouTube® video or see written installation guides below.

After adjusting the rollers, the latch receiver may also need to be adjusted. The reachout lock mechanism is designed to pull the operating panel into the weatherstripping for a tight seal. If the gliding patio door requires latch receiver adjustment, see Gliding Patio Door Hardware Adjustment and Replacement Guide.
