Sliding door adjustment screw hard to move: What to Check and What to Do Next

Sliding door hard to move: What to Check and What to Do Next
Do not force a hard-to-move sliding door or try to lift the glass panel. From the floor and with the panel in its normal position, inspect the visible sill track for debris or damage, compare the panel's top and bottom gaps with the frame, and look for a tilted panel, rubbing marks, or frame movement.
