Sliding glass doors
Don’t waste time! If your sliding glass doors or any other door in your home is not opening and closing smoothly, do not waste time calling an electrician to come and diagnose the problem. Instead, replace the door and get it working again. Here are six quick and easy facts about doors that won’t work right unless you do something about them:
– Door starts to glide or slide –
The track rails are too low. This means that the sliding glass doors will not open smoothly. This is a simple fix and does not require the services of anyone else. Simply adjust the rails so they are higher and the door will glide smoothly. If you cannot easily move the door up or down, then you need to get new tracks.
– No power at all comes from the outside –
If your power goes out, then the door opens, but it does not close properly. First, check to make sure that the power cord is not broken. If it is, you can simply replace it. If the power never comes on in the first place, then there are a few more things that can be done to fix this problem.
– Keys aren’t accessible – A door that won’t close does not simply mean that the keys are missing. Rather, it means that the door locks have broken. These screws can often be found on the back of the door. To access them, you must remove the door casing so you can access the screws. You may also need to use a flat head screwdriver to pry them loose.
– No door locks – If a door won’t close because it is partially locked, then it is possible that the lock is damaged and cannot be repaired. This usually indicates that someone has forced open the door, perhaps by using tools like a hammer. However, if it is impossible to determine whether the lock was damaged or not, then you are left with another option. You could go ahead and replace the door lock with a new one, thereby solving the problem.
