When Mick Jagger is feeling a bit sore and tight and can’t do his signature dance moves while performing with the Stones, he takes some an Advil and keeps going. But strangely enough, when your sliding door has trouble moving, it can be a lot harder to fix. How on Earth is it easier to get a 79-year-old dancing non-stop for 3 hours, than it is to get a sliding door move? We have no idea.
But we do know how to fix this little sliding door problem that you have. In this post, the professionals from We Fix Sliding Doors explain a few tricks of the trade to get your door moving again.
Lubricant
If there’s one thing Aussies rely on to carry out any home repair task, it’s a good ol’ lubricant spray. A sliding door that doesn’t move may be fixed with a touch of lubricant, like WD-40 – something most of us have lying around at home. With the long red tube attached, insert it under your sliding door as far as possible, and then spray while drawing the can back. This gives you the maximum possible coverage of loosening up a jammed roller, or rusty piece of track – if that’s the problem.
Track clean
If you can’t remember the last time you vacuumed your sliding door tracks, then it could certainly be an indicator that your door doesn’t move because of it. All sorts of debris gets caught in your sliding door tracks, and if not vacuumed regularly enough, it can accumulate to the point of jamming your door. It’s best to call a professional though, because they’ll remove your sliding door and give you track a total clean, rather than just half of it.
