Repairing the Rollers Even even if the lock and handle are functioning properly, the door might not move as smoothly when the wheels and rollers are dirty or damaged.

Once the track and rollers are free then carefully reinstall the door by using the adjustment screw to extend each roller. Before you do that, make sure you inspect the rollers for damage. If you notice that one of them is higher than the other or is able to move more easily upwards and downwards than it does from side to side, it's time to replace them.
