Home remedies for sticky sliding doors.

While this can be a costly solution it will help with your sticking doors. One of the most common issues with sliding doors is a dirty track where dust pet hair and other debris can accumulate over time. A silicone based product will help the door glide without attracting dirt and grime like standard oil lubricants will. Once you wipe down the tracks clean them with denatured alcohol.

If it s a matter of the door edge hitting the door frame use your philips screwdriver and tighten the screws on either the top middle or bottom hinge. To fix this remove your door from the tracks clean out the rollers and spray them with a lubricant such as wd 40. One of the functions of the ac is to remove excess moisture from the air and decrease the humidity level in your home. Once the patio door track is nice and clean lubricate the track with a silicone based lubricant spraying and rolling the door back and forth to work in the lubricant.

Sliding doors move along the tracks using a set of rollers. Silicone spray along the top track helps keep things gliding smoothly. Vacuum this area using the crevice tool and scrubbing gently with a stiff brush to remove any caked on material. Tighten the screws that go into the door and the screws that go into the door frame.

Clean up the track. Lubrication also keeps those door rollers rolling. If you re looking for an alternative more natural lubricant try rubbing clear paraffin wax along the track instead. As the humidity in your home is lowered the wood door will shrink in size.
