Anyone who purchases a new patio door or is a first-time owner of one may have many questions. You probably want to know the best ways to maintain the door so that it will last. Other concerns that come into play are security and warranties. The answers to these questions are below. 

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.

You can check the door by moving it toward the door jamb. You can reattach the plugs after adjusting the door and determining that it works correctly.

What Is the Best Way to Clean a Patio Door?

Our professionals will tell you that the best way to clean a door is to lubricate it occasionally. That way, it ensures the door works like new. This job is for those who have the proper safety equipment and a basic understanding of how to use tools. 

It is crucial to wear appropriate eye protection while cleaning and lubricating a door. Never allow pets and children to be in the area where you are working on the door. 

Before you begin working on the door, first, close the door. Then, a vacuum can adequately clean the visible track. When the way is clean, open the door so that you can work on the other side of the track. Apply a simple household cleaner to the track. You can close the door to do the same on the other side. 

Ensure that you or a professional inspect the track or other areas that may need work. Open and close the door a few times to tell it is working correctly. Replace the track if it is in bad shape. Remember to lubricate the track after you clean it too.

Are Patio Doors Secure?

One of the significant aspects of our patio doors is that there is no need to use a piece of wood to secure the door. Each door has multiple safety features in it.
