    Thank you for this information. The sliding door has been a problem since I bought my house in April 2022. Some days I can open the door only a few inches to squeeze through. Thankfully, I'm slim. I've had 2 carpenters to check it. Neither knew what is wrong. One took the glass doors out of the frame, then reinstalled them. No change. I can't fix it myself, but, thanks to you, I can tell someone who can fix it.

      Thanks for watching, WD40 will work however won’t be as good as lithium grease.
      Even lithium grease though is a temporary fix as we mentioned in the video. The best thing to do is lubricate the rollers with lithium grease so it buys you time to purchase new replacement rollers.
      You can pick a day that works best for you as get those old worn out rollers replaced. Below is our step-by-step video on replacing rollers.

    • @DIYwithMichaelBorders
      @DIYwithMichaelBorders  2 місяці тому +3

      Thanks for watching, any update? This can happen if the lower rollers are offset significantly.
      Another cause is damaged or warped door…or warped frame that the door rests and operates in.
      Another cause is if the door was recently removed and reinstalled…it’s possible that the door is not installed properly inside frame where the rollers are properly placed on the slide track.

      @@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks for the reply! The bottom of the door and the track it sits on seem fine. What I noticed is that the sliding panel seems to have a bit of movement on the top & it seems to lean towards the fixed panel. Not sure if that makes sense. I wondered if there’s supposed to be something at the top keeping it at a certain offset from the overall frame. Someone told me this can happen due to the house settling over time and I can see that, but the question is if there’s anything at all to solve the issue, aside from replacing the door.

      Thanks for the follow up, this is helpful information. Two things come to mind from here.
      1. You may be spot on when you say that the upper portion of frame is possibly missing a piece that helps secure/align sliding door so it doesn’t make contact with stationary door. This will depend on your specific setup/install/and brand of unit.
      2. The door is sitting a bit to low and because of this, it’s not fully being assisted and guided by the upper portion of frame that the door sneaks into. Basically the upper portion of door has more room to lean back and forth as it travels.
      This can be fixed by adjusting the lower rollers out/down, which in return will raise the door higher into the upper framed slot/guide.
      If the rollers are not adjustable due to their age/condition, they will need to be replaced.

Another detail is that this door is at a condo that was built in 1971 & to be honest not sure if it’s original but I’d be surprised if it was ever replaced.
