HOW TO: ADJUST YOUR Gliding PATIO DOOR
To adjust your Andersen® gliding patio door:
1) Remove the caps located on the interior bottom rail of the door
2) Insert a flat blade screwdriver, turning the screwdriver clockwise to raise the panel and counterclockwise to lower the panel (see image)
3) Move one notch at a time, checking the operation of the door panel as you go
4) Close the panel to within one inch of the side jamb and check for a uniform revel from top to bottom
5) Replace caps when adjustment is complete
6) After adjusting the rollers for operation and checking for an even reveal, you may need to adjust the latch receiver. The reachout lock mechanism is designed to pull the operating panel into the weatherstripping for optimal contact
7) Close the operating panel slowly
8) When the pin on the receiver makes contact with the button on the deadlock, slowly turn the inside thumb latch to the lock position. The latch should engage the latch receiver smoothly and pull the panel into the side jamb for a snug fit
