That looks good, but how do I get the stupid door out first? I can't seem to get it high enough to clear the tracks and lift it out.

[Goregoon]

@TheJVRMAN Try looking up top, I think newer doors may have a "child proof" type set up there. Anything you see up there that looks adjustable or removable? There also may be a "sweet spot" where the door will ONLY pop out if it's in that spot. Hope this helps.

Would you be able to tell me how to fix the tracks on those type of doors? Or where I can buy the tracks. I have gone to hell and back and still cannot find anyone that sells those tracks.

The problem with the tracks on my doors is that the people that lived here before me ran over them with a 2 wheeler while taking out a refrigerator, smashing the track. I straightened them out as best as I can, but they are so lumpy, they keep ruining the wheels on the door. Thank you.

[Goregoon]

@Leotron6 I'm not sure what to tell you. If you can't straighten the track I'd suggest maybe checking out window & door shops. There are allot around and that's what they do best. I got my parts from a Ma and Pa type window & door shop. Maybe also keeping an eye on places like Craigslist for people giving away patio doors and such.

Sorry I can't be much more help, if I think of something I'll shout back at ya!

Thanks for coming by!

Dude clean your house, damn

@rstacyusa Dude that was my garage/shop and the sliding door is in the mud room.... the mud room's job is to get dirty so the house can sit back and have a beer.

Thanks for stopping by!
