Step 1: Find the screw on the bottom of the door. Adjust the rollers to the highest setting to lift the rollers off track.
Probably not. The rollers are adjusted to the LOWEST setting. That gives the most clearance to lift the door off the track. Set it to 'highest' and the rollers will likely hang up on the track when you try to lift the door OFF the track.
What is this point of view based on? Having done it half a dozen times.
