Sliding doors provide an elegant alternative to hinged doors and can help save space in the home. However, as with anything that moves smoothly, they require regular maintenance to maintain optimal performance.

Maintaining Tracks & Rollers

Sliding door tracks and rollers can quickly wear down due to pet hair, children’s crumbs, season temperature extremes, or dirt blown in from outside. Over time this wear and tear can scuff and scratch the track causing noise or difficulty opening or closing. Regular maintenance often solves these minor issues immediately.

Regular Cleaning

Rust and grime buildup on sliding door tracks is usually the source of sliding door issues, which can be mitigated through regular cleaning and lubrication with WD-40 Specialist Long-Lasting Grease Spray. This solution helps displace moisture while protecting metal components against corrosion while providing thick lubrication to reduce friction and promote smooth movement.

You Can Do It at Home

Clean your sliding door frames and tracks regularly by mixing hot water, a diluted soap solution, and a damp cloth. It’s important to revarnish wooden structures every few years to maintain appearance and functionality.

Sliding doors provide an effective means of adding fresh air to your home. Unlike regular windows, sliding doors allow large quantities of air to circulate freely throughout your property and significantly improve its smell, feel, and quality – especially beneficial during warm summer.
