Shower Doors Are Difficult to Open

RE: Shower Doors Are Difficult to Open Post By J Walker (Guest Post) (03/01/2006) Clean the doors and runners with vinegar to remove calsium and minral deposits. Then either run parafin wax along the runners both top and bottom several times or use a clean bar of soap. Either should get them moving again. You will need to open and close the doors several times to lubricate the wheels but it should be done at least once a month to keep them working.

I used a candle on the track of a stubborn sliding door and it works great!

If that is clear, then try some WD-40 sprayed right in the track. Work the door back and forth several times and see if that makes any difference. Also, one other thing to check is to make sure the shower door is seated in the track correctly.
