1
Open the sliding portion of the door halfway. Holding each side of the door, gently lift. If the door does not give readily, you may have to use a screwdriver as a lever to help push the door up.
-
2
Lift the door until it stops at the top of the door frame. Carefully ease the door toward you. This removes it from the bottom track. When it clears the bottom track, rest the base on the ground.

Lower the door to the ground by resting the base on the ground and stepping backwards slowly. When the door has been placed on the ground, flip it onto one side and remove it from the work area. Dispose of the door as is required by your local zoning laws.
-
4
Wipe both the top and bottom track to remove any debris. This assures that the new door has a clean track to roll on.
-
5
Place the door in front of the track while it is lying flat on the ground. Carefully lift the door to a vertical position. When the door is vertical, lift it into the top track. You will know this is done when you hear the wheels slide into place.
-
6
Move the door so that the bottom portion is positioned over the bottom tracks. Carefully lower the door. Gently roll the door to the right and then to the left several times to make sure that the wheels are in the track. Close the door.

Tips & Warnings
If there is glass in the door and you're not sure you can support the weight, make sure that you have another person to help you. The door itself is not heavy, but with the glass this job can be heavy as well as potentially dangerous because of the potential of the glass breaking.
