Example of Sliding Door Requiring too much Force

Getting your sliding door ready for use. Many sliding doors seem hard to move open or closed and in fact – they are! However this condition does not have to be permanent. We measure the amount of force required to move a door open or closed by using a dial scale. The video shows an example of a brand new home with a brand new door. This door took almost 13 lbs of force just to move it along!! Yet, with a little bit of work we were able to reduce the effort on this door to less than 5 lbs!! Even after we added our self closing system to this door, it took less force to operate than before we started.
