• Door not sliding smoothly: Check the track for any obstructions. Ensure rollers are clean and lubricated. Verify that the track is level and securely mounted.
• Door not closing properly: Inspect hinges for damage or misalignment. Ensure the bottom pivot plate is correctly installed and the door is plumb.
• Excessive noise during operation: Lubricate rollers and hinges. Check for loose hardware and tighten as necessary.
