How to remove lawyer bookcase glass door

shelving

The lawyer bookcase has glass doors that slide up over the books. I am attempting to remove the door to replace the glass on one of the shelves.

How is the door removed?

Best Answer

Unscrew the rollers on both sides.

Lower the door so it's parallel to the back.

Push one end back into the cabinet until the pin is free of the side slot - or start with the door at the back, and pull one end forward until it's free of the side slot (and then keep pulling forward to remove from the case.)

Replacement should be the reverse of removal.
