When should you replace a sliding patio door?
Signs You May Need to Replace a Sliding Glass Door
- The glass panes trap moisture and fog up.
- You see a gap between your patio doors or the doors and the frame.
- The doors become difficult to open and shut.
- A misalignment with the tracks makes it pop off and get stuck.
How do you lubricate an Andersen sliding patio door?
Apply a dry lubricant spray to the rollers. This dry lubricant spray may be used on any Andersen window or patio door. Do not use lubricants on the track itself; this will cause the rollers to slide, instead of roll.
How do I make my sliding patio door slide easier?
Spread a silicone-based lubricant evenly and thoroughly across the track while working it in by sliding the door back and forth. This can aid in reducing friction along the track and help it to slide easier.
How do you adjust an Andersen sliding glass door?
