Learn how to get your sliding door back in the track and sliding
Thank you for this video; You saved me $700.. I contractor told me my door is not working because I have a settlement in the house, above my door, and he needs to fix that problem.
After I watched your video, I followed the instructions and now it works as a new.
Actually one of the wills was stuck; I cleaned it and then put a lot of W40. The will started moving, and then spinning like new!
Thank very very much!, Eva Dimitrova
Thank you so much! I have an Anderson sliding door but didn't know it until watching this. I took the door off, replaced the rollers, and put on a track cover. More than you showed here but you got me started and now my door opens with a finger. I'm a 70 year old female fixer. Thank you for saying it was an Anderson door because it let me identify it for my local parts supplier.
Anderson sent me new rollers for free! Gonna install them soon and your vid is a huge help. Thanks bro!
UPDATE: I cleaned everything and replaced rollers, which didn't seem worn. Put door back on track and it slid smoothly. Screwed the retaining strip back on top and the door was sticking horribly again! Realized this is the actual problem. The retaining strip was mounted too tightly in the center area. For now, ive removed the 3 screws in that area, and it slides MUCH easier.
You helper is probably one of the best I’ve seen in a while
You are a star my man. Been having trouble with a sliding door for a couple years. Just followed your directions and it works like new. Thanks so much.
I Anderson sliding glass door has not worked right for 20+ years and then I saw your video and now it works great! Thanks so much!!!!!
As Dennis said below yours was the first video and i'm excited to see if it will work. Hubby will take down and I will clean. I subcribed and thank you DoubleWide6!! You are easy to listen to, clear and calm. Love ya man!!
My girlfriend's mother has this exact same Anderson door and it is ridiculously difficult to move. Thanks for the upload! We will get to work.
Thanks for the video. A big help. Just one thing I hope you don't mind me mentioning. I have those exact sliders and you are correct, that is one heavy door. I would suggest locking the door like you would when it's closed, then removing the strip that holds it in up top. Especially when using a mini-helper. If that door starts to tilt toward your mini helper, there won't be any stopping it.
Thanks DW6 and DW6 Jr. I have the same issue and am ready to go in!
Thanks for the video. I am going to give it a try. The shade on the door got jammed I and it tilted the door slightly. I straightened it up but it is difficult to slide. I figured that the wheels are off the track. You and your helper are a great team. I'll have to get a neighbor to help. Might cost me a six pack but it will be worth it. I'll comment later on how it works out. Thanks again. HP
Thank you! My husband & I found your tutorial very helpful & your helper very amusing! ❤️
thanks doublewide6,ur video helped me fix my patio door
So helpful! Going to try this out on the weekend.
Very helpful video, thank you for producing it.
Good video! I’m actually having the same issues with our slider. Thanks!
OMG!! Thank you so much!! The door got stuck partway open and this fixed it! (NOTE TO SELF: Never buy a four-foot wide sliding door again; keep it to three feet wide). But this fixed it!!
Thanks for the video. I'm hoping it will help me with my super-stuck, ancient, sliding door.
Thank you so much. The video was easy to follow. completely fixed my problem with my door.
Thanks! Gonna dive into it tomorrow and good to see how you did it before I begin.
Good stuff......your vid works. Thank you Double wide
Thanks Doublewide just what I needed.
Many thanks for your helpful video! I was able to take down our Andersen sliding door that has been sticking, clean the rollers and the tracks, and reinstall it. The only thing I couldn't do was adjust the roller height because the adjustment slots are misaligned and/or stripped. Still, it slides much easier now!
worked like a charm - thank you !
Thank you for the thorough explanation. I tried lubricant and cleaning without taking the door out. Didn’t work. Was on my way to figure out the tool used to raise door and you said Allen wrench and that gave me the complete picture. Now maybe I can open the door without ruining my back. Good video and helper is cute, but lacks concentration 😂 much like adult helpers.
Thanks for posting this!
Thanks for the video...it was helpful.
thank you. great video, very instructive.. excellent!
Nice and clean Job. But the best part your HELPER did !!!!
just fixed our door because of this vid, thanks!
Cute Lil helper! Good vid Tx!
Holy crap. This was most helpful! Who knew? Answer: you did. Thank you!
Excellent video! 😆
Am excited to try this. I too tried lubing it and didn't help now its a beast to try to slide and its our main entrance, so not good. My door doesn't have a removable panel so may have to search on how to remove it, otherwise helpful info thanks!
Beautiful, thanks...
good description to clean and maintain the door
Good job.👍👍👍👍
The “sand” your hearing is actually desiccant beads in the glass spacer between the glass. This is put in the spacer in the event of a seal failure to help prevent condensation in between the glass.
Real good video. I really appreciate it.
Helpful! thank u
my door was different but when your helper came to the picture I had to finish watching. He is a trip.
lates
Got to Thank You searched online, first video and it worked!!!!! Thanks again
Dennis Hernandez Thanks Happy new Year!
doublewide6 Happy New Year to you as well bud
This is great thanks
New sub. Great job
Cute helper.
Mocha N Thanks!
Thank you, so much!
Thank you!!!!
Thank you
The mini helper is so cute...
Thanks for the video, helpful. The only thing that grabbed my attention was is it possible the the oil your putting on the track is actually collecting/grabbing the dirt and dust. My proclivity would be to use only silicon spray. My experience is that it grabs less ‘junk’.
Adorable helper LOL!
Your little helper is just like my little helper :)
Thanks, bro.
Thx exactly what I needed
Hi doublewide6 - great video. I noticed we have the same sliding door and I'm having a problem with water leaking in around the edges of the track (during wind driven rain). I was wondering if you could help me out - do you happen to have any caulk on the outside along the edges of the track? I noticed these tracks/sills don't have any weep holes so where does that water go?. Have you ever had any water issues with your sliding door?
My grandfather also thought me the soap trick. Works like a charm!
very nice
Hey double6 nice vid but looks like the other wheel may need adjusting it looks like it recessed in the frame.
Thank you for your instructions It help a lot. How can a get junior to help me.
Regards
Rolando
Thanks... My door sounds like it's Rollin on marbles but it's also 42. Years old.
Jr. And his IM DADS BEST HELPER HAPPY DANCE
Thanks - were having the same issue with ours ‘ binding up
Thank you for this! Love your helper! If you’re “double wide”, I think that might make me “triple wide”!😆
Thanks for the video, we will try to see if these tips will help us fix our slider. Love your helper, he's a cutie pie.
WIsh me luck!!! Looks like you are in my house..same deck, same door, same grill cover:)
Great video wish I had seen this before I lost the entire clad or whatever it was........ Yea same thing with Anderson! Jerks..... I am 66 and not able to do this ... lost the cladding on an entire panel..... any ideas about new cladding? coming up on winter and all I see is wood...... Thank you for doing this it really gives me ideas..... Now to work on the front "forever door" that did not last forever the latch is broken and I gotta say the people at Anderson are rude.......
How did you remove strip at top? How do you identify what type door it is?
That sound isn’t sand in the door. It is the desiccant in the stainless steel spacer used to make the insulated glass. It is completely normal.
🤙 thank you. Helpful information
All the details, next step` replace the roller assemblies and give that helper a raise or monster truck tickets.
hi, do you know how to replace the glass door on this unit (inside house) side?
On inside of door unscrew the top shim plate about 7 screws (5 foot long 1/2 inch thick), and the door will lift up and out towards the inside on the house.
I'll send you a pic of the door, it's different from yours. It looks like it's a solid mould
My sliding door has no header that can be removed.
HOW did you get the door out?? You skipped that part! We are trying to get ours out and there is not hole on the side of the door just like yours.
Porque no es en español si el título está en español
Why don't you just go ahead and replace the wheels, the bearings are bad
Use WD-40 SILICONE because it’s better than just the regular wd-40... otherwise u will have to keep spraying it
I made it by myself. I used woodprix woodworking plans for that.
You should go to WoodPrix if you'd like to make it yourself guys.
Seems like the same problem i'm having.
the problem im having is that the door doesnt have rollers at all!!!
I'm scared cut someone can break in our house
Those roller bearings sounded chattery & loud. Shd've replaced.
where can you get new bearings?
Someone PLEASE come help me fix my GF door and make it look like I did it !! I need man points !!
This is just a blinding glimpse of the obvious. And not worth the effort. "doublewide6" doesn't even know the trucks literally fall right out if you take out the adjusting screw. They you can soak them in cleaner and get the bearings perfectly clean and relubed correctly. But the problem is this fix lasts about four weeks and they are junk again. I am sure "doublewide6" is totally dissatisfied with his fix but didn't update the posting. Andersen has a problem with these bearings and they need to address it. They are too weak for the weight of the door.
nope

woodprix sucks and so do woodprix spammers
Let me guess, you also make 10K per month working part time from home. The more you spam, the more I AVOID your website.
