# How to Remove Bottom Sliding Glass Doors
Bottom sliding glass doors can be removed with a screwdriver and some lifting muscle. Sliding glass doors or patio doors slide back and forth on a track. The adjustment screw in the bottom back corner of the doors raise the rollers underneath the door up and down on the track. When the screw turns to the left, the rollers lower and this in turn lowers the door. You must get the top of the door out of the door frame before you can lift and remove it from the track. Some sliding doors are designed with an anti-lift device at the top.

Inspect the top of the door for an anti-lift device. This device will be a wedge-shaped piece of metal, wood, or plastic attached inside the upper track of the door frame. It could also be attached to the top of the sliding door. Remove the screw from the device with a Phillips screwdriver and then pull it out of the door frame or out from atop the door.

Lift up on the door and see if the bottom can come out. If not, locate the adjustment screw in the bottom backside corner of the door and turn the screw counterclockwise to lower the door out of the top track of the door frame.
