Why do shoelaces snap when you need them the most? Why does toast fall butter-side down? And why do footy teams always break your heart?
Sadly, we don’t have the answers to these questions. But we can answer why sliding doors get stuck.
There’s a range of things that could lead to a sliding door becoming stuck. From simple to more complicated, here’s what could cause your sliding door to become stuck, with fixes outlined by We Fix Sliding Doors:
Unlubricated rollers
If your rollers aren’t lubricated, they can easily get jammed up, causing your sliding door to get stuck. We Fix Sliding Doors often encounter sliding doors with unlubricated rollers – all they need being a good spray of roller lubricant. This gives them more spin, allowing them to roll on for days.
Dirty, clogged track
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. From pebbles to Lego blocks, the team at We Fix Sliding Door has seen it all when it comes to track debris causing a stuck sliding door. 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.
It’s best to call our professional team for a track clean if this is the case, We remove your sliding door and give your track a total clean, removing any debris that’s blocking the way.
Busted rollers
Busted rollers are another reason why sliding doors get stuck. Most sliding doors have cheap acrylic rollers which wear out or break down over time. Replacing the rollers is a simple enough task for your sliding door repair team. The door is removed, the old rollers are taken off and replaced with a brand new set of high quality ones.
Warped tracks
If your sliding door tracks aren’t perfectly straight, then your door can become stuck pretty easily. Bent or warped tracks may seem like a huge job to fix, but not for the guys at We Fix Sliding Doors. We place a new, stainless steel Miracle Track Cover over your old tracks so that your door slides better than ever. For a matter of a few hundred bucks, you get a brand new track, saving you thousands on a door and track replacement.
