Investigate the cleanliness of the tracks.
-
If the tracks are dirty, scrub them with toothbrush to clean out the dust.
-
You can use a rag or a hand vacuum to remove the loosened dust.
-
-
-
Investigate whether the sliding door is along the top tracks.
-
If the door is completely unhooked from the top tracks:
-
Try to lift up on the door.
-
Slightly push the door in toward the closet.
-
Hook in the top rollers back onto the upper tracks.
Add caution to lifting - closet door could be potentially hazardous
What if there are no bottom track . ? Every time I put one side on the track the other side comes off..
-
-
-
If the bottom rollers do not align, follow these steps:
-
Do not force anything.
-
Gently try to lift up on the door and guide its bottom rollers into the bottom tracks.
-
If the door still needs to be realigned, continue to Step 4.
-
If the door is successfully realigned with the bottom tracks, continue to Step 6.
-
-
-
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.
Lubrication isn't the same as misaligned tracks, perhaps your fix should be how to fix a difficult opening closet door

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
How do you clean tracks with vacuum or tooth brush
