Replace Sliding Door Rollers

I have 2 sliding doors that are hard to slide and making scratching sound. I know I need to replace the rollers, lubricate or remove any dusts inside the rollers.

Sliding Door #1 – Remove Dust & Hair, Lubricate and Grease

When I opened the first sliding door and remove the rollers from the frame, the rollers are still good, the only things it got dusts and hair. After cleaning the dust and hairs, my contractor lubricated it with WD-40 and put grease around the bearings.

Besides, the contractor puts grease on the sliding door rail.

After put back the roller, the sliding doors become smooth again. Solve problem #1.

Sliding Door #2 – Replace Old Rollers

For sliding door #2, the rollers didn’t really smooth anymore. So I decided to replace it with new one where the rollers bearing is concealed. This is better to avoid the rollers getting rough easily due to dust or hair.

Why I don’t Use my Usual Sliding Door Repairman

I don’t use the usual contractor because I found their price is too expensive. I have to change 5 panes that might costs me nearly RM1,000.
