I have a screen door that comes out of its track so I'm familiar with the rollers and how they can cause problems, but that's just a light screen door. I'm interested in finding out how to remove the heavy glass door safely and easily so I can get a look at the rollers. And are they universal to purchase?

It depends on the manufacturer. Look it up on the internet and see if there are instructions for removing the sliding door and replacing the rollers. If you don't know who the manufacturer is, look at the hardware ( handle etc.) for the name.

Its a PITA. If the problem is door movement, then purchase the following product and spray it on the tracks.
