Gliding patio door operating door panels can be adjusted up or down in the unit frame. Proper panel adjustments ensure optimal door performance.

 

To confirm if adjustments are needed:

 

  1. Open the operating patio door panel slightly. Leave a narrow gap between it and the side jamb
  1. View the gap from top to bottom. It should be equal. If not, this indicates that the operating patio door panel requires adjustment
  1. To adjust the operating patio door panel, follow the instructions provided in the YouTube® video and the written instructions below. Written instructions are also available in the installation guides below
