Sliding door mechanism. Can this be replaced/serviced
Hi I've noticed my sliding door isn't working as it used to and seems to be catching and rubbing the metal at the bottom when closing and opening the door. Can I fix/ replace anything to sort this problem out. Any help would be much appreciated thanks

Yes you will find it just needs the bottom door runner replaced as the plastic bearings usually go. You can buy them I believe but the arm is only a few quid and a quick job to swap over, even doing it yourself, I have swapped a few and makes a big difference, find them on ebay
cheers

As I can't access the more technical areas of the forum yet, I wonder what's the proper maintenance
for a working door? What kind of grease and applied where? I don't have the manual...
