uPVC patio doors don't fit and fall out

arambol

I have a property in Spain and the wooden windows were replaced 6 years ago with uPVC.

There is one window which is a sliding patio door which I can shake with very little force out of the frame. They are both approximately 0.5cm too small. The company who fitted the window has gone out of business so there is no guarantee. They do open and close but sometimes they come off the runner at the top.

I have been quoted 935 euro to replace with the correct size windows..... (2 sliding panes).

Firstly... does this sound like a fair quote?

Secondly .... is there a way to adjust the frame or raise the height of the runners on the bottom (or top) and keep the existing windows? Would it be cheaper to take the frame out and manufacture and install a smaller frame? I guess it be cheaper than replacing the glass doors?

Appreciate any assistance.

There is normally height adjustment on the bottom wheels - get a photo of the edge of the bottom opening door (the one that slides) and we may be able to diagnose...

Thanks for the suggestion ..... but no joy. I've already checked that and the new uPVC fitted confirmed that there was no/ not enough adjustment.

Maybe a new runner could be fixed over the top of the existing to raise the doors slightly?

Just trying to avoid replacing the glass :-(

some of em are adjustable. otherwise you could fit larger wheels, or insert packing washers to lift the assembly up.
