Sliding Door Moves Hard

Tinker around with the roller screws to see if the door glides better when it s at a lower or higher height.

Sliding door moves hard.

Rub a thin layer of dry lubricant to the track. Do not use oily lubricants on the track as this can. Slide the door open and shut to move the lubricant around the track making sliding easier. Because sliding doors don t fold out the way bifold doors do they allow access to only half the width of the opening at a time.

Then lift the door up and out of the track laying it down carefully across two sawhorses. Never leave the glass door unattended. Sliding doors are very heavy very breakable and very expensive this is a two person job. If the sliding door is still sticky after the tracks have been cleaned use powdered graphite or silicone lubricant to ease things along.

Use an aerosol lubricant to lubricate all the door rollers. This adjustment screw will move the roller height up or down and thus your sliding glass door height will go up or down by as much as 1 4 inch or 1 2 cm.
