What to Do When the Sliding Door Track is Broken
If you find that your sliding door track is broken, there are a few steps you can take to fix it:
1. Check for any damage to the pulley. If the pulley is damaged, it needs to be replaced with a new one. Make sure to remove the old pulley and install the new one correctly. Also, inspect the track for any foreign objects that may be causing the issue. If you find any, simply remove them from the track. Additionally, if the track is deformed, you can try using tools to straighten it out.
2. Lubricate the sliding door during installation and regularly in the future. This is important to reduce the friction and prevent the track and pulley from becoming heavy and noisy over time. Without proper lubrication, the door may fail to open properly or even damage the door handle. Regular lubrication will ensure smooth movement and longevity.
How to Repair a Broken Slideway on a Plastic Steel Sliding Door
Typically, the track under the sliding door is not prone to breakage. However, if you're unable to push the door, it may indicate that the wheel beneath is broken or the wheel adjustment screw is stuck. In such cases, you can remove the door and check it yourself. If the wheel is broken, simply replace it. If the screw is stuck on the wheel, use a hex wrench to loosen it. The wheel can usually be purchased from places that sell sliding doors.
Additional Tips:
1. Keep the track clean on a daily basis and be cautious of heavy objects hitting it. Clean the track regularly using a non-corrosive cleaning fluid.
2. If the mirror or board is damaged, seek help from professional personnel for a replacement.
3. Ensure the anti-jump device is functioning effectively to maintain safety.
4. If you notice a gap between the door body and the wall, have a professional adjust the lower pulley screw to achieve a tight fit.
