Fixing the Rollers

Even even if the lock and handle are in good working order, the door might not move smoothly when the wheels and rollers are dirty or damaged. Like the hinges, the most effective way to determine the cause of a problem with your rollers is to remove the door (or ask a friend for assistance) and look them over. If they aren't broken, the problem might be an accumulation of grease or dirt. If they're damaged they'll most likely need to be replaced. If the wheels are dirty, clean them using denatured alcohol or silicone spray and oil them again.

To reach the rollers, make sure you have a helper hold the door while you tip it outward. It's important to have a person with you for safety and to prevent the heavy door from falling over if it becomes loose. After the door has been removed, place it on sawhorses so that it can be supported while you work. On one side, stand while your partner on the other side lifts the top of the door upwards and out of the track, working together to clear the track at the bottom and wheel. Once the track and rollers are clear, carefully reinstall the door by using the adjustment screw to lengthen each roller.

But before you do that take a close look at the rollers for any damage. If you find that one is higher than the others or that it is able to move more easily upwards and downwards than it does from side to side, it's time to replace them.

If the problem is the accumulation of dirt, you may try cleaning them with a stiff brush or a piece of wire, but it's usually better to replace them. The majority of hardware stores offer replacements, and their staff can help you select the proper size. If you're ready to replace the rollers remember that turning it clockwise lowers it, while turning it counterclockwise raises. To make sure the new rollers are installed correctly, check that they are parallel to the jamb that is on the latch side. If they're not, take a screwdriver and adjust them until they're.
