Vacuum or hose out the area where the door slides. Depending on the door, you could have a little wheel under each side on a runner, or you could have a hard plastic pad. If you have the little wheels, you need to get on your hands and knees and spray a little WD40 on each wheel assy to clean them off and lubricate them. You can get bar soap (not liquid soap) and rub the soap on the bump in the middle of the track where the door moves. This will lubricate the track and make it slide easier. It is also safe for kids and pets. If door gets harder again, use your soap again. Those little bars of soap from motels work great for this.

If you are going for a sliding door, I highly recommend going for a window. And for that matter I prefer the sliding door over the regular door. It provides a much nicer view, and is lovely on a nice summer day.

Sliding patio doors can be purchased in several places. From the home supply stores, the specialty stores and the second hand store. The second hand stores may even give you a discount if you handover your French doors as trade.
The best thing you could do is purchase a new sliding screen from your local Lowe's or Home Depot. If those aren't an option, a local window and door center will have exactly what you need.
