Sliding door

[Dan72]

My sliding door does not pop open. Have to pull on the louvered window to get it to release. Im assuming something is missing??

Anyone ideas?? I know nowt about these

Could be that the spring loaded part(rearmost centre mount) needslubing n working free.Its the u shaped bracket the roler attaches to that is spring loaded i think.Start with wd40 then regularly oil. also oil upper,lower and centre runners(nothing to do with your problem but makes your door glide rather than slide :wink: .
If oiling the u shape doesnt fix it you will have to pull the inner panel off to see if there are any probs inside.

My old man was a locksmith and said to never put oil in locks, it attracts dirt and grit and ruins the barrel eventually, always use graphite powder. If you have none, just rub a pencil all over your key a few times.
