How To : Make sliding glass doors slide better?
The new (used) cage I bought has two sliding glass doors. They are quite difficult to slide in some sections of the track. Is there an old trick to make them slide better...?

Have you tried putting some oil on the track?

Graphite dust. It should help a bit and substrate won't stick to like oil.

I thought of that, but didn't wanna try something that messy until I had some ideas from others who may have tried it before.

Is it plexi or glass? If it's plexi, just pop it out and run a belt sander across the top a couple of times

It's glass.
I'll try the graphite once I can round some up. Thanks BW

You might also take the glass out if you can and carefully tap the track down with a screwdriver and hammer in those 2 places where it's buckled up.

When it comes to handiwork, I'm inexperienced as they come. I'll check it out though and if I can't figure it out I'll have my Bro in law take a look. Thanks guys
