Sliding doors are a practical, stylish choice that are now found in many Singaporean homes, but when the rollers wear out, they can become an annoying hassle as the doors would jam, stick, and squeak. Not only is this disruptive to our daily lives, but it can also cause further damage to the tracks if the rollers are not fixed and realigned. That’s where we come in.

Aluminium Sliding Doors
Aluminium sliding doors are known for their strength, light weight, and modern appeal. Naturally resistant to rust and corrosion, they’re ideal for Singapore’s humid climate, offering long-lasting durability with minimal maintenance. Our aluminium sliding doors come in sleek designs and powder-coated finishes for a luxury, contemporary look. They’re lightweight yet sturdy, making them easy to operate without straining the rollers or frames. With our skilled installation and premium materials, you can expect smooth, quiet gliding and lasting performance.
Wardrobe Sliding Doors
Wardrobe sliding doors are the ultimate space-savers, making them great for bedrooms with limited space. Instead of swinging outwards, they slide smoothly along tracks, giving you easy access to your wardrobe without taking up extra space. At Pro Handyman, our wardrobe sliding doors are customizable in materials, colours, and finishes, from sleek laminates to mirrored panels that brighten and enlarge. With our wardrobe doors and sturdy rollers, you get the perfect combination of practicality, modern design, and long-lasting performance.
Whether you are using wardrobe sliding doors or aluminium sliding doors, their smooth operation depends on one crucial thing: the rollers. If the rollers wear out, get misaligned, or break, it’ll lead to annoying issues like jamming, sticking, and squeaking. Worse, your door might refuse to open at all!
That’s when you’ll need sliding door repair and maintenance. At Pro Handyman, we make repairs simple and stress-free. Our all-inclusive sliding door replacement and repair service excels at dealing with those pesky malfunctioning rollers, and we’ll easily replace them with durable, high-quality parts to keep your doors functioning for decades to come.
Wear and Tear from Daily Use
The rollers of sliding doors go through a lot with constant use, and over time, they will eventually wear down. Friction applied multiple times a day can cause doors to lose their smooth glide, making them stiff, noisy, or sticky. As the rollers deteriorate, they can also crack or flatten, affecting the balance and alignment of your door. While regularly inspecting and maintaining your doors can prolong their lifespan, you might eventually need a full replacement.
Dirt and Debris in the Track
Dust, hair, and other particles can collect in the sliding door tracks, giving the rollers more friction and putting extra pressure. This buildup can cause the rollers to grind against the debris, making them wear out faster and causing squeaks or jams. If left uncleaned, dirt can also damage the roller surface. Once the rollers are damaged, it is only a matter of time before they wear out unevenly and cause your door to start jamming.
Damage from Moisture or Rust
Humidity can wreak havoc on moving parts, and Singapore’s extreme climate can cause sliding door rollers to be vulnerable to rust and corrosion, especially if they are metallic. Moisture can seep into the bearings and cause stiffness, squeaks, or a complete jam of the roller. This not only affects the door movement, but it can also damage your track further and result in costly repairs. Always replace rusty rollers with high-quality, moisture-resistant parts.
Poor Installation or Low-Quality Rollers
Poor quality rollers will not last long in any climate, much less one that can be as harsh as Singapore’s. If the original rollers were made from inferior materials, or are poorly installed, they’ll wear out way faster. Misaligned rollers can strain your door frame, and cheap plastics might crack under pressure, resulting in costly repairs or a complete replacement of your door system. Be sure to use only top-quality materials and have the system installed by a trusted professional.
Clean The Tracks Regularly
Dirt, dust, and debris can clog the track and wear down your rollers. Regularly vacuum or wipe the tracks with a damp cloth to keep them clear. For stubborn grime, use a mild cleaner, but avoid harsh chemicals that can damage the material. Clean tracks reduce friction, helping your rollers glide smoothly and last longer.
Lubricate Rollers Occasionally
Rollers need a little help to keep moving effortlessly. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the rollers and track every few months. Avoid oil-based lubricants, as they attract dust and dirt. A small spray is enough to reduce squeaks, prevent stiffness, and ensure your door slides quietly and with minimal effort, extending the life of the rollers.
Check Alignment Regularly
If your sliding door feels stiff or comes off its track, the rollers may be misaligned. Regularly check the door’s alignment and adjust the roller screws if necessary. A properly aligned door glides smoothly without straining the rollers or track. Keeping alignment in check also prevents uneven wear, helping your sliding door system last longer.
Inspect and Replace When Needed
Even with good care, rollers eventually wear out. Inspect them for cracks, flattening, or rust during routine cleaning. If you notice persistent squeaks, stiffness, or jamming, it’s best to replace the rollers before they damage the track. If you nip the problem in the bud early, you might be able to avoid costly repairs in the near future.
