The most common tilt and slide door problems

• Drive gear
• Gliders
• Bottom bogey

The drive gear fails, which is operated by rotating the handle. This, in turn, operates the locking points around the edge of the door, which is what holds the door shut. If this fails, the door will remain locked but secure or open and not secure!

The gliders on the top of the door wear out. These help to hold the sliding door in position when it is opened and closed. You usually first know about this when the door falls from the top.

At the bottom, the door slides back and forth on a bottom bogey. This can be a problem with the closing if it gets out of alignment and breaks if not cared for.
