Most sliding doors manage to get knocked off kilter at one point or another.
Tilt and slide doors falling.
Loosen the screws located on the edges of the door near the top and bottom rails.
To realign your door in the tracks at the top and bottom of the frame remove the door from the track and reinsert it.
If the link arms and gliders of a tilt and slide patio door fail then the door can start to fall down.
The screen will stretch enough to allow you to make this minor adjustment.
Then sharply angle the bottom of the door outward and lift the door from the track.
Slide the rails out to make the door longer then tighten the screws.
Lift a bottom supported door such as an sliding glass patio door straight up to clear the bottom track.
Make sure the rollers at the top are aligned first then walk the bottom of the door.
Tilt and slide door repairing.
To remove a bottom supported sliding door lift and then tilt the bottom out of the track.
Do this with a helper.
Lengthen the door if it is slightly too small for the frame.

Most sliding doors have a mechanism called an adjusting screw located at the bottom of the door ends.
If the door becomes even harder to open turn the screw in the opposite direction.
Give the screw a clockwise turn and test to see whether the door slides easier.
