FAQ
Questions about Sliding Door & Window Track Cleaning
Why does my patio door drag even though nothing looks broken?
Years of dust, grit and residue compact into the track and grind against the rollers. A professional track cleaning and tune-up removes the debris, services the rollers and restores the smooth glide - often without any parts replacement.
Can I just use WD-40 on my sliding door track?
Please don't - WD-40 attracts dust and turns the track into grinding paste. We clean the track properly and apply a dry silicone lubricant that keeps the rollers moving without collecting grit.
How often should sliding tracks be cleaned?
For patio doors and sliding windows in regular use, an annual cleaning and tune-up keeps the rollers from wearing prematurely. Doors near gardens, construction or busy roads collect debris faster and benefit from twice-yearly service.
What if cleaning doesn't fix the dragging?
Then the rollers are worn, and we will tell you on the spot. Roller replacement is a straightforward repair we can usually do in the same visit, and it still costs far less than replacing the door.
