2.3 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure the door opening is plumb, level, and square. Measure the width and height to confirm compatibility with your door.

- Attach Hangers to Door: Install the hanger brackets onto the top edge of your door panel according to the template. Ensure they are aligned and securely fastened.
- Hang the Door: Carefully lift the door panel and engage the hanger rollers with the sliding track. Gently test the door's movement along the track.

3. Operating Your Sliding Door
3.1 Basic Operation
To open or close your sliding door, gently push or pull the door panel along the track. The rollers are designed for smooth, quiet operation. Avoid forcing the door if it encounters resistance.
3.2 Adjustments
- Door Height: If the door drags on the floor or has too much clearance, the hanger bolts can be adjusted. Loosen the locking nuts on the hangers, adjust the bolts up or down, and then re-tighten the locking nuts.
- Door Stops: To change the open or closed position, loosen the set screws on the door stops, slide them to the new desired position, and re-tighten.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your HomePro sliding door system.
4.1 Cleaning
- Track: Periodically clean the sliding track with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Accumulated dirt can impede smooth operation.
- Rollers: Wipe the rollers clean. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
4.2 Lubrication
Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the sliding track and roller bearings every 6-12 months, or if you notice increased friction or noise. Do not use oil-based lubricants as they can attract dust.
4.3 Periodic Checks
- Inspect all mounting hardware for tightness. Re-tighten any loose screws.
- Check the door stops to ensure they are securely in place.
- Verify the door moves freely and does not bind or drag.
