How to fix a hard to open sliding door!

Post by JTalley »

This might seem like a simple enough fix, but for us beginners it's a major problem. It took me ages to find this out, so I figured I'd post the solution here. When the door is nearly impossible to open, but it's greased up, take some paper towels and clean the tracks, particularly the one in the middle. The n use white grease or lithium grease to oil it up again. Good as new!
