Rollers, track or door?
Is it the rollers, the track, or the door itself?
Eight quick questions about what the door is doing, then the likely causes ranked, one thing that is safe to try, and the cases where the right move is to stop and get a technician.
Start →Roller finder
Which rollers does my sliding door need?
Panel size, glass and frame give an estimated door weight, then single or tandem, steel or nylon, and exactly what to measure on the old roller before anyone orders parts.
Start →Glass weight and lifting
How heavy is my sliding door panel?
Panel size and glass type give the weight, how many people it takes to lift it safely, and what that means for the rollers underneath.
Start →Track wear checker
Clean it, cap it, or replace the track?
Tick what you can see on the track — pitting, gouges, flat spots, grey dust, a lifted lip — and get a verdict: clean, cap with a stainless cover, or replace, and whether the rollers are chewing it.
Start →Roller adjustment guide
Which screw do I turn, and which way?
Say which side rubs and where the gap is, and the guide points at the right adjustment screw, the usual turn direction, quarter-turn steps, and the signs that mean stop.
Start →Off track or just stuck?
Has the panel come off, or is it stuck?
A lift test, the gap at the bottom, the sound it makes and whether it leans tell off-track from a roller, debris or a bent track — and when to stop touching it.
Start →Draft and leak locator
Where is the air or water getting in?
Where it comes in and when — rain, wind, cold, the sprinkler — point at the seal or drainage part at fault: pile weatherstrip, the interlock, weep holes, the sill pan or the caulk.
Start →Lock identifier
What kind of lock does my sliding door have?
Hook or latch, mortise or surface, screw spacing, keyed or not, handle style — the lock family to ask for, and what to measure and photograph.
Start →Screen mesh picker
Which screen mesh should I use?
Pets, no-see-ums, sun, visibility, kids — the mesh type that suits, how much to buy for your panel, and which spline fits the groove.
Start →Door lifespan checker
How much life is left in my sliding door?
Install year, climate, frame and how it has been looked after give a remaining-life range for the rollers, seals, glass and frame — in years, not money — and what to inspect this year.
Start →Seasonal prep checklist
What should I do to my sliding door each season?
Your climate and door type give a printable list by season: clean the track, dry lubricant on the rollers, weep holes, interlock and weatherstrip, anti-lift blocks, roller height.
Start →Panel configuration
What do I call my sliding door layout?
How many panels and which ones slide — OX, XO, OXO, OXXO, OXXXO and pocket doors, drawn out, so you can describe the door accurately, plus how to measure the opening.
