Patio Sliding Door help please!

[Rotor]

Hi Just wondering if anyone has any experience of removing the fixed non sliding glazed side of the door. I need some new furniture and it wont fit through the normal opening side, and therefore need to take out the fixed side, If I can? Any idea what this would involve or if even possibe with out wrecking the whole patio door?
Thanks inadvance P.

yep feared it would be a bit involved, I'll call some locals out for a qoute, thinking about it, If I 'blow' the unit(s) the cost could go soaring anyhow.

Yep no problem removing the slidding door on the runners its the fixxed side I need out, to allow full access! removing just the slidding door gives not much more or the same as a standard door way.

OK seems after taking a good look at, Remove sliding door. Then remove rubber strips, remove glass, Remove bolted in midle vertical bar section. Its the removing the glass that now worries me. I thought originally I could take out fixed side complete, ie Glass and frame. I would think the odds are stacked up against me to remove a large double glazed unit and lean or lay it down with out twisting or cracking the corners, so because of this.....`I'm out'
In come the glaziers

OK I'll have a beter look in the day light in the morning, trouble is I would love some Bi-fold doors, but we have a matching Sliding door at right angles to this one for the kitchen so ££££, and all I wanted/she wants is new furniture for Xmas, which will prob. not even arrive in time now
things you do to keep them happy.
