Sliding glass door problem. Won’t lock.

Track must be sagging.
Upper right where door meets is 5/16ths away from frame while bottom is apparently flush.
Do I have to bend the bottom teack up in the middle?
We tried easing the wheels on the door. Back up and front down, Still a lil pizza wedge at tip.

Did you try to wedge the center of the track up?

Should be some screw in the bottom of the door on the rail or on the outside bottom edges. Right lifts left lowers. Be careful those screws strip and the it will suck. If you can lift the door to take weight off the roller that will help.

It is glued to the floor.
Eta.
We adjusted the doors to what we think is right but door is not tilting.

How old is that door? Could you have some settling in the foundation. Looks like you are raised foundation. But it could be several things.
Whose product is that? I sell Marvin and it looks to be a higher end door but I’m on cell phone so I can’t see great. Any warranty. Even if not call manufacturer. They can get you closer to a solution. Sometimes those rollers just go bad. That’s s big door on two little rollers that you probably use quite often.

Put a level on the side of the door when its open and see if the issue is only when you are actually shutting it.

Until you get it fixed, you can lay a mop handle, cut to fit, in your sliding track. Will keep the honest burglars out, Until the glass breakers come along. My brother in law used this system for 15 years.

This.
Make sure everything is still plumb, door and frame.
Rollers have probably given up. Heavy door, much use, rollers wear out. Check both top and bottom.
