Deborah G. on Nov 23, 2014If the door just kinda "sticks" when you open or close it, get some graphite spray and spray the tracks (after you clean them out). Works like a charm.Helpful Reply

Diena Cameron on Nov 23, 2014Hi, I have heard that if you clean the bottom track ( that's where the dirt usually builds up ) and if you don't have any grafite spray or wd40, try a bar of soap and rub it on the track a few times and see if that doesn't help before you call someone. I would ask my neighbors or family first, they might know a great, inexpensive handyman. Hope this helps, I have not tried it so I can't swear by it. Good luck ! Let us know if it works :DHelpful Reply

Swan Road Designs on Nov 23, 2014If you don't have any graphite or silicone spray, you can use Endust in a pinch. As others said, first clean the track out thoroughly. Also, if you can get the door completely out, you might check the roller/wheel on the bottom. It may be out of round and in need of being replaced.Helpful Reply
