🔧 DIY Tips
Fixing it yourself? Here's what usually works:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Screwdriver (various)
- Vacuum cleaner
- Silicone spray
- Replacement rollers (if needed)
- Allen keys (some systems)
📐 Key steps
- Vacuum debris from track
- Check rollers for wear or damage
- Test door height adjustment
- Clean track thoroughly
- Lubricate rollers (silicone, not WD40)
- Adjust door height if rubbing
- Check guides at top and bottom
- Test smooth operation
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Using WD40 (attracts dust)
- Ignoring worn rollers
- Forcing misaligned doors
- Not cleaning track first
💡 Pro trick: Most sliding doors have height adjustment screws at the bottom. A few turns can lift a door that's dragging on the carpet or rubbing on the frame. Look for allen key or screwdriver holes.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do sliding doors come off track?
Usually worn rollers, bent track, or the door has dropped. Heavy use and age cause wear. Often a simple fix once we identify the problem.
Can worn rollers be replaced?
Usually yes. Most sliding door systems use standard or easily-sourced rollers. We'll check compatibility and replace if needed.
My doors are rubbing - can that be fixed?
Yes - usually an adjustment issue. The doors may have dropped or the track is bent. We adjust height, realign, and ensure smooth operation.
The mirror door feels heavy - is that a problem?
Mirror doors are heavy, which puts more stress on rollers. If it's hard to move, the rollers likely need replacing or the track cleaning.
