Patio doors sticking

[Jilly]

Hi!

I have a rental with patio doors (old aluminium frames) which are difficult to open, you can see they’ve moved slightly in the picture. I’m guessing it’s the rollers. Can these be repaired, or any suggestions please?

You might be able to adjust the runners, look for a hole in the ends of the door that has a screw inside the door this is your adjusting screw for the rollers. 
 

obviously loads of different types. 
if this doesn’t adjust them you might need to take the door out. 
 

You normally lift the door up and out at the bottom to get to the rollers. 
 

there should be anti lift blocks in the track at the top to stop burglars lifting the door, you need to get it in a position so it lifts without hitting the blocks. 
 

when you get it out turn it on its side and look for the rollers, loads of spares available on line.
