What are the issues that can affect the operation of Sliding Door

Alignment Issue
If you operate a sliding door with excessive force, it can come off the track. Usually, on such occasions, the adjustment screws at the top and bottom of the track come out. This will leave the sliding door non-functional.

Flimsy Track
With regular use, sliding doors can collect dirt, mud, hair, dust, and rust in their tracks and grooves. The collected debris will increase the friction between the track and rollerblades, causing operational failure.

Impaired Rollers
Often, low quality or worn out roller blades cause operational dysfunction of sliding doors. If the roller blades are broken or chipped, they won’t glide on the track. Besides, if left unchecked, the impaired rollers can damage the track as well.

Faulty Locking System
For security purposes, sliding doors are equipped with locking systems. However, in case the door comes off the track, collapses, or is aligned poorly, it can cause a fault in the locking system. Consequently, the locking mechanism will fail, compromising the safety and security of the building occupants.

Door Stuck In Track
Over the years, the sliding function can become rusty due to regular wear-and-tear. When sliding doors fail to open or close smoothly, it means there is friction between the track and the rollerblades. If it remains stuck, it may lead to a bent track or misalignment causing further issues. Moreover, stuck doors are menacing, especially when installed in the patio or balcony.
