Tips to Keep Your Sliding Glass Door at its Best in Florida

New hurricane impact sliding glass doors by Guardian Hurricane Protection will provide secure access to outdoor spaces, fresh air and natural light to your living areas.

Clean the Sliding Glass Door Track

 

Sliding glass doors slide horizontally. All too often, these big, troublesome door stubbornly resist opening, and getting outside becomes about as easy as dragging a refrigerator through a sandbox. The most common cause of a sticking sliding glass door is dust or debris in the lower track. Over time the sliding glass door track accumulates dirt and grime. This slows down your door considerably. This channel easily becomes clogged with dirt and leaves because people and pets walk over it whenever they go in or out. Use a toothbrush or wire brush to clean the inside of the sliding glass door track or use a cordless vacuum to clean the sliding-door tracks.

 

Lubricate the Sliding Glass Door Track

 

Cleaning and lubricating sliding-door tracks, it’s also good to lubricate the door lock. The best way to lubricate any lock is to disassemble it and use an aerosol lubricant to flush away dust and coat the moving parts of the lock. Apply a lubricant to both upper and lower tracks to keep the door hardware clean and operating freely. Make sure to wipe up any over-spray that lands on the floor. It will create quite a slippery surface.

 

Adjust Sliding Glass Door Rollers for a Smoother Ride

 

Sometimes, become hard to open even when the track is clean. In these cases, the problem is usually that the rollers at the bottom of the door have started to rub against the track. The rollers at the top can also wear down, lowering the bottom of the door so that it rubs on the track. Inside a standard sliding glass door, there are adjustable rollers that help it slide back and forth on the track. There are holes on your sliding glass door that conceal the adjusting screws to these rollers.

 

Most sliding doors have a mechanism called an adjusting screw located at the bottom of the door ends. Turning this screw raises or lowers the roller. Give the screw a clockwise turn and test to see whether the door slides easier. If the door becomes even harder to open, turn the screw in the opposite direction. After a bit of adjustment, the door should roll easily without rubbing on the bottom track.

 

Sliding glass doors are ideal for areas where floor space is restricted. At the same time, they allow natural light to move through the building.
