Regularly cleaning and lubricating moving parts can keep your sliding door in good order.      Track and Roller Replacement    Tracks and rollers are main elements of sliding doors. They are located in the bottom of the aluminum door panel. They sit on a raised track that guides them as they slide open and closed. Over time, dirt may cause the tracks to become blocked and cause the rollers to become damaged. Keep your patio door clean and lubricated to avoid problems like this.    It is possible to fix your track and rollers, unless the track is severely bent. You can ask a friend to help you lift the panel off the bottom track by bending it towards you (Photo 3). This could take some effort because the panels can be quite heavy. After the panel has been removed, lay it flat on sawhorses and examine the rollers. Replace them if damaged with a new roller set. You can adjust the rollers' height by turning the adjustment screws, which are typically found in slots that are located along the edges of the panel.    If the rollers look in good shape they might just require to be cleaned and lubricated. Use a screwdriver for removal of the rollers, then wipe each one with denatured alcohol. This will get rid of any dirt or grime that could be causing resistance. After that, carefully place each roller back into its slot and completely retract it by using the adjustment screw. Lastly, lubricate the rollers using a silicone spray. This type of lubricant won't hold dirt as well as petroleum-based products and will help your door move effortlessly.    After cleaning the rollers and installing them, you can install the door and check it to ensure that the track is properly aligned with the rollers, and that the doors are moving smoothly. Contact a local dealer if you need help. Cleaning your doors and keeping them lubricated can help them last longer and decrease the need for repairs. We recommend a silicone lubricant since it does not draw dirt as WD-40. It is recommended to lubricate your rollers and tracks at least once per month.    Replace insect screens    Sliding patio door are great to maximize floor space, provide airflow, and provide stunning panoramic views. However, they can become difficult if their mechanism ceases functioning or isn't working properly. Fortunately, most issues with sliding screen doors can be easily resolved. Dirty rollers caused by debris in the track or a wrinkly screen are common culprits, but you can usually fix them by following these simple steps.    If your screen is sliding or wrinkled, you could place a 1x4 under each of the frames to create an unnatural bend in the middle. This will allow you to pull the screen tight and straighten it.    Purchase a screen that is at least 2 inches larger in both directions than the frame's opening. This will give you the space to trim any excess. Also make use of a spline roller tool to push the rubber spline's edge into the channel. Once you've completed this, it is time to insert the remainder of your spline.    Adjusting the Panel    The tilt and slide mechanism allows you to open the patio doors wider for ventilation and keeps your pets, children, and other household members safe. Despite the ease of the system, the doors tend to take more force than anticipated and over time, this causes more friction, crooked tracks or misalignments that can cause the door to fail. Recognizing these issues early and making minor adjustments will often solve them, thus reducing the necessity for costly replacement hardware.    The first step to adjust the tilt and slide patio door is to remove the panel and place it on a flat surface. After removing the panels make use of a screwdriver to remove the plastic caps that are in the holes of each adjustment roller. Once they are removed, the adjuster will be pulled out of its channel by using an extended shaft screwdriver. After removing the roller, clean it using denatured or ruby alcohol. This will eliminate any dirt that has caused the roller to resist and let it easily retract back into its channel after the process.    When reinstalling the moveable panel to be reinstalled, align it with its frame and use a drill to drive in the screws along the flange. The flange should be secured tightly to the door edge while making sure that the flaps align correctly. After the movable panel has been put in place, apply a bead of silicone-based lubricant on the top track arm connector block as well as the lead Bogie wheel, and the slave Bogie wheel, and then replace the plastic caps on holes.    Repeat the procedure on each of the two other moving panels to restore their slide function. Then, install the plastic flanges. Finally, glue the jamb side strip onto its equivalent fixed panel using a glue made of plastic. Once the glue is dry, reattach the handle and verify smooth operation. If the issue is not resolved then adjust the lead Bogie by taking it off, cleaning it and replacing it with a silicone-based oil.    Charley Bar Installation    A patio door is a convenient way to let your pets inside and out of your house, but it can also be a convenient entry point for burglars.
