Yes, 756766! WD40 was originally developed as a cleaner, I think by the military but they soon realized it worked as a lubricant, also. But I do the same thing these days, I buy the PB Blaster, Garage Door lubricant and their other silicone lubricants. beachtroll, I really appreciated the video because the bottom room of my house is often flooded by the river we live next to. And I had given up on how to make the sliding glass door open easier.

After watching the video and following the directions my sliding glass door slides as if it was new. I bought 10lb picture hanging wire, doubled it and twisted the wire. I had a close call as it broke as I was pulling it out of the bottom of the slider. Lucky for me that it broke leaving me enough wire outside of the slider to pull it out. I would suggest using a 20lb or more wire. Thank you for taking the time to post this video. It saved me big bucks as I was contemplating a new sliding glass door. FYI...the handle on the door had broke off due to the stress of closing and shutting the door when it was very hard to open and shut. The handle breaking off is what caused me to research how to clean slider. I replaced the handle, cleaned the slider and am good to go.

Thanks! My door has been dragging and the wheels didn't sound good. Iv'e watched other videos and was getting prepared to take the door off, clean the wheels and possibly replace them. I watched your video and saw how dirt gets underneath in the wheels. I followed your directions and now the door actually opens and closes with one finger. It is completely silent when moving. So many videos are overkill. I'm sure that you know all about taking the door out and changing the wheels, but you just showed what should definitely be done first and you were spot on! Thanks for straight forward none overkill video. You saved me time and money. I think that I will do my daughters door next. Thanks again.

Instead of using the crimped wire to clean out the roller dirt how about spraying the roller with WD40 then blast it with air and have the other side blocked with a rag ? I've been using silicone for years and the track still needs cleaning twice per year . Thanks for the tips.

Going to try this. Another "how to fix your sliding door" video on YT walks you through removing the screen door, removing the fixed half of the sliding door unit, and then removing the sliding section. In other words, "take the whole thing apart." And then unscrewing one side of the door frame, then using a rubber mallet to move the loosened frame piece up and out of the way of the lower frame piece, then using a hammer and screwdriver to pop out the old wheels, my god the video may as well have been "how to build a rocket" with all the steps involved Your video looks a lot simpler and probably is the fix that will help the vast majority of us. THANK YOU! . .

@@beachtroll8344 I USED THIS APPROACH TODAY AND FIXED THE DOOR! My gosh what a relief, didn't cost me a penny. Here locally there are people who advertise services to fix a sticking sliding glass door - they are not cheap! It took about 25 minutes. There was a lot of dirt build-up on the track and around the wheels. I added lots of lubricant after the track was cleaned spotless and my goodness, it opens and closes as smooth as a new door. The only twist was, the frame of the door at the base was bent inward in one small spot that improperly narrowed the track for the door frame to slide past - I just used a pair of 'channel-lock' pliers - the smooth type without serrated (grooved) teeth - and slightly bent the track outward, away from the door frame. This was not the main problem with the door - it was just a bit of friction that I discovered after the door started moving freely again. I added lubricant to 4 spots: 1) the cleaned track 2) the wheels 3) the lower inside wall of the metal track (by 'inside' I mean the track wall on the interior room-side of the door track) 4) the lower outside wall of the metal track (the track wall on the house exterior, the backyard side of the door track) I did (3) and (4) so that when the door slides, there is a layer of lubricant between the door frame and the lower track walls. I was going to add lubricant to the upper track walls but it did not need it. I feel I got lucky finding your video and using your technique -THANK YOU! .

If you want to greatly improve your videos, you need to make sure your light source is coming from the same side of what you are shooting as the camera. You don't need expensive lights. A flashlight would work great and if you have a light bar built into your flashlight, use that. I know that you are competing with the outside sun, but you will be surprised at how much difference a good flashlight or even a "head-strap-light" will make. Looking forward to seeing more.

I have an older home built in 1977. The sliding glass door and all the window are original to the home. When the door sticks or won't slide at all I usually use a vacuum to remove the dirt from the tracks. I do this every couple of weeks due to our going in and out and tracking dirt that eventually causes the sticking problem. I never needed to use WD-40 until today when removing all the dirt from the track didn't work this time as it usually has. The door slides nearly effortlessly. Lets hope the WD40 doesn't attract more dirt.

I tried this and it made a world of difference, however, it's not gliding real easy. Think the rollers need replacing but for the life of me I cannot get the door out. Either the backside clears but the front doesn't and vise versa. Any suggestions?

If you have silicone, I would put some on the glide bar that the wheels slide on (apply some when the door is open and closed).... If it works it’s easier than removing the door...Good luck!

I didn't see any roller access, but I could hear the rollers down there somewhere. Commonly, adjusting the roller height is a necessary fix. I agree with cleaning along the track and wiping away the oil. I do not agree with applying another coat and leaving it, as the oil acts as a great collector and retainer of dirt which will not vacuum out. Then you're stuck with this cumbersome process again.

Good points you make. A silicone spray would work best. Thanks for you comment!

3:55 If you had a helper who vacuumed the entire time as you pushed the wire along the tracking, both ways. This could potentially remove any debris not caught on the wire.

Great video! The only thing I would suggest is not to use WD 40 as it actually gathers dirt and grime. You can buy an aluminum lube spray can from Lowes made for this and as a plus it prevents rust and salt penetration if you live near salt water.

What about the roller on top?

I use the smaller end of a chopstick to remove the dirt instead of a toothpick. It doesn't break as easily.

I liked your video. It will help. However my current problem with sliding glass doors is that I have wheels off the track and can't seem to get them back on. I think the door is somehow locked down on the track and so I can't raise the door back up enough to place door wheel back onto the track. How do I release the lockdown and then redo it when the wheels are on the track again?

@@beachtroll8344 Thanks! My door was constructed somewhat differently but the tip about changing the distance between the bottom of the doors and the wheels worked on mine and I was barely able to get it back on track. But more importantly, by raising the door afterwards it will be hard for the wheels to ever get off the track again.
