    • Another sliding door behind may be creating a space constraint.

    • Keep the top rollers connected.

    • Put down the door so that the bottom rollers are behind the track, closer to the closet.

    • The doors should be located properly on their tracks.

    • Try to slide the doors along the tracks.

    • If they don't slide well, you may need to lubricate the tracks:

    • Grab a lubricant: olive oil, fish oil, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly.

    • Apply a small amount of the lubricant to the edge of the rag.

    • Fit the edge of the rag into the tracks.

    • Spread the rag throughout the tracks to spread the lubricant.

    • Slide the closet door along the tracks to spread the lubricant further.

Conclusión

Thank you for considering this guide. To maintain properly working sliding closet doors, periodically clean and lubricate the tracks as described in this guide.

Hi, so this was sorta useful for me but I still have another question. My door slides along the floor and doesn't have a bottom track. Any tips as to how I'd go about fixing it? Thanks
