Let's Get Started
Check if Adjustments are Necessary
Confirm if adjustments are needed:
Open the operating patio door panel slightly, leaving a narrow gap between the panel and door frame. See the image to the right.
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, seeGliding Patio Door Hardware Adjustment and Replacement Guide.
