Troubleshooting
Door is stiff or difficult to slide
Check for obstructions on the track or wheels. Ensure the door is properly aligned and not rubbing against the frame. Verify the door guide is correctly installed and not binding. Clean the track and wheels.
Door is noisy during operation
Inspect the nylon wheels for wear or damage. Ensure the track is clean and free of debris. Check that all fixings are tight.
Door wobbles or swings excessively
Ensure the bottom door guide is correctly installed and properly aligned with the door's routed channel. Check that the door itself is within the specified thickness range.

Verify that the track has been adequately supported by the soffit or wall brackets, especially for longer spans or heavier doors. Add more support if necessary.
