It shouldn't be that hard to take out of the track. What I don't know is how hard it will be to "flip it around."
Things to think about would be is the lock going to end up on the outside? The handles could be backward. What it sounds like is the doors may be backwards and the sliding door may be in the wrong track. If that is the case, it isn't a big deal. The doors often have screws on the bottom side edges that allow the wheels to raise or lower. You will need to retract them completely and tighten the screws again to hold them there. Next you should be able to lift the door and tilt it out of the track at the bottom and the top will follow. Do the same with the other door. You may be able to reverse the stationary door and the sliding door without having to do anything else. Just reinstall them with the stationary door on the outside and the slider inside. Set the wheels again so they are tight and you'll be done.

The sliding glass door on the back of my house is in backwards. It was this way when we bought the house and I do not know why anyone thought it was a good idea. Anyway, the track where you can normally put something down to block the door from opening is on the outside and you can just lift it right out from outside. I have a really high fence and a big dog, so I am not worried about someone breaking in that way, but it also puts the door in a bad place for the flow of traffic. How hard might it be to just take the door out of the frame and flip it around? Jennifer [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
