Sliding Door Moves Hard

Why is my sliding glass door hard to open.

Sliding door moves hard.

If the door becomes even harder to open turn the screw in the opposite direction. Turning this screw raises or lowers the roller. First slide open the door completely and remove the head stop. Move the door back and forth like you did in step 1 to help the door glide over the oiled areas.

Slide the door open and shut to move the lubricant around the track making sliding easier. Never leave the glass door unattended. Inwardly bent tracks will pinch rollers and stop. Give the screw a clockwise turn and test to see whether the door slides easier.

Sliding doors are very heavy very breakable and very expensive this is a two person job. Then lift the door up and out of the track laying it down carefully across two sawhorses. Bent metal impedes the movement of a sliding glass door. Rollers are components at the bottom of sliding doors that allow them to slide easily along their.

This will actually help to move around the lubricant into the harder to reach middle area where the door is constantly sliding and experiencing the friction that makes it stick. Do not use oily lubricants on the track as this can make.
