You know it’s time to service your car when it starts making noises that prompt you to turn the radio up louder, drowning out those alarming sounds. Ahhh, that’s better!
But what about sliding doors? How do you know when your sliding door needs work?
Well, pretty simple, your sliding door will have gotten worse and worse over the past few weeks until it grinds to a halt and decides not to budge.
Then what?
Here, we explain what to expect when your sliding door stops sliding and knowing that it’s time for a sliding door track replacement:
Identifying problems with your sliding door
First, let’s go through the possible signs that it’s time for a sliding door track replacement:
- Door won’t move like it’s supposed to
No matter how much elbow grease you put into it, your sliding door won’t move freely like it should.
- Door is making awful noises
Screeching, scratching and squealing like a pig? Unless you live in a barnyard, we’re confident those aren’t normal sounds. Sliding doors make awful noises when the track is worn out.
- Door doesn’t close and lock isn’t working properly
Nothing more frustrating than a door that doesn’t close properly. Nothing more nerve-wracking than a door that doesn’t lock properly. When your door lock is playing silly buggers, it could actually be a problem with the track.
