When a sliding glass door gets heavy, stuck, noisy, or starts scraping the track, it usually means something inside the system is worn out. Most of the time it’s the rollers. Sometimes it’s the track, the lock, the handle, or the alignment. The good news is this can often be repaired without replacing the whole door.
