Repairing the Rollers

Even if your handle and lock are working properly, your door may not be moving smoothly if the rollers and wheels have been damaged or dirty. Like the hinges, the best method to determine the cause of problems with your rollers is to take them off the door (or ask a friend for help) and examine them. If they're not broken it could be the result of a buildup of dirt or lubricant. If they're damaged, you'll need to replace them. If the wheels are greasy clean them using silicone spray or denatured ethanol, then re-oil.

A helper can support the door as you open it to access the rollers. It is important to have a partner with you for safety and to stop the heavy door from falling over when it gets loose. Once the door has been removed, set it up on sawhorses so it can be supported while you work. Stand on one side while the person on the other side lifts the top of the door upwards and out of the track, working together to free the bottom track and wheel. Once the track and wheels are completely free, carefully install your door by using the adjustment screws to increase the length of each roller.

But before you do this, inspect the rollers carefully for any damage. You should replace them if you observe that the rollers are a little higher or move more easily from side to side rather than upwards and downwards.

If the problem is a build-up of dirt, you could try cleaning them using a stiff brush or a piece of wire, but it's usually better to replace them. Hardware stores usually sell replacements, and staff can help you select the right size. If you're ready to replace them, remember that turning the adjustment screw clockwise will lower the roller, while turning it counterclockwise will raise it. To make sure the new rollers are installed correctly, check that they are parallel with the latch-side jamb. If they're not, take the screwdriver and adjust them until they're.
