Why does my sliding door keep sticking to the tracks?
Sliding doors move along the tracks using a set of rollers. These rollers can become damaged, dirty or broken as the years go by and cause your door to stick. Most of the time, the problem stems from dirty and dried up rollers. To fix this, remove your door from the tracks, clean out the rollers and spray them with a lubricant, such as WD-40.
