Step 1

First, you have to vacuum all of the dirt and dust off your sliding door tracks, then if needed, wipe them clean with a cloth damp with soapy water, and then wipe them dry with a separate dry cloth.

Step 2

Get your White Lithium Grease and aim the precision straw in the top to the center track or rod, then spray a little bit to it, do not overspray, and then carefully open and close the door to let the grease properly lubricate the inner rollers.

Step 3

Do this to the opposite side of the rollers, spray a small amount, then slide the door close and open to allow the grease to get into the rollers. Watch the video tutorial for more details.
