One of my patio sliding doors has become hard to open and close, it appears to lift slight before having to be forced back. Anyone have an easy solution to this please. Thanks in anticipation Janet

Hello Mrs King. Haven't seen you for a while.
Near the bottom of the "meeting" face of the sliding door, you can usually find a hole to put a screwdriver through (cross-head probably). Turning it one way or the other will raise or lower the door on the runner.
Once you've raised the door a little, put a little grease on the track (Vaseline will do nicely.)

Hiya Mr Builder At the bottom of the door there are two small circular "covers", I tried to prize the bottom one off and I could have done it but wasn't sure if thats what i wanted and if it wasn't would I be able to get it back on again. Sorry to be a pain and if you haven't got the faintest idea what i am talking about just ignore me!!!! Thanks for your answer anyway xx
Yes of course, it's quite likely the hole will have a little cover over it to stop debris getting in. I think you may have to "go for it"
Yea,thats the way to do it.
Yes .. I expect they are the access plugs to remove.
Try some cutlery! : )

Sorry I've been a while answering. Yes the kitchen knife did the trick and the screwdriver foundthe hole, wasn't sure which way to turn it but whatever i did worked, still a bit stiff but fine now. Thank you all especially Mr Builder who i feel should really send me a bill!!!!!!!!!!! xxx
