Patio Door Won't Shut
Hello, Don. I'm not sure what the issue might be here. Looking at your handle and mortise hardware, everything looks to be in good condition.
Can you explain the issue in a little more detail? About how close does it come to closing? Does it close, but just doesn't seal, or are we talking about a gap of inches (or more)?
My first thought is that it's a problem with the track and rollers. Your next step should be to closely examine those to see if there's any obvious damage. If you're lucky, it's just a matter of the rollers being clogged up with dirt and debris, which means giving them a good cleaning will fix the issue entirely. Otherwise we may have to replace one or the other, or even both.
Thanks, Don
Ah, thanks for clarifying. I can see that being an issue. In that case, you may just need to adjust the rollers; there should be a screw on the bottom corners of the door that, when turned, raise and lower the door. That should hopefully allow you to compensate for that 1/4" or so.
