Best Answer

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.
