my sliding glass door shakes when being shut even at the slowest pace, and there are some fraction when the door is near the full close status. And I need to manually lift the door to able to align with the lock to able to lock it properly.
i had a screen door tech to attend the problem of sliding door can’t close a smoothly a year ago, and he just simply adjust the wheel and the door is back to normal, however , the wobbling and the alignment issue has come back again.
Can’t remove the door due to the existence of the bottom vinyl in the way even raising both roller up.
Any advices?
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @helloeatty. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about roller doors.
It sounds like the rollers at the bottom of the sliding door have worn down significantly. The adjustment done a year ago likely helped by raising the door slightly to clear the track, but with continued use, the rollers may have worn further, causing the wobbling and alignment issues to return.
You could try adjusting the rollers again by turning the screws near the bottom corners of the door. This might temporarily improve the alignment and reduce the shaking. However, if the rollers are too worn, replacing them would be the best long-term solution.
To replace the rollers, the door will need to be removed from the track. A key point to keep in mind is that glass panels can shatter easily, so extra care is needed when handling them. It’s best to have at least two people involved in removing the door to prevent any accidents. If you're unsure about handling this yourself, seeking professional assistance is recommended to ensure the job is done safely and correctly. A professional will also be able to ensure that the rollers are properly replaced and the door operates smoothly for years to come.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
