Cleaning

- Frosted Glass: Clean with a standard glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth.
- Hardware: Wipe metal components with a dry cloth to remove dust.
Hardware Check
- Periodically inspect all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Tighten if necessary.
- Check the top track and rollers for any debris that might impede smooth operation. Clean as needed.
- If the door becomes stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can be applied to the track and pivot points.
