Issues with slide out larder door


Recommended Posts

We have a slide out larder door in the kitchen that’s been getting progressively worse.

 

when you open it and push it close, it doesn’t go in all the way (see photos). You have to apply a lot of sustained force to close the door.

 

I’ve looked at the door and can’t identify the issue. The only thing that looks odd are the two sliders at the bottom of the door because they don’t line up. One is in further and the other is out further and I can’t align them. It makes sense for them to be aligned but not sure if that’s the issue.

 

Any suggestions, as always, would be immensely welcome.

Have you got another one that works for comparison?

 

Has it been overloaded for a time? IMO these seem to be temperamental.

 

Once you sort it, if you do, I would consider using a PTFE lubricant (Halfords - saves replacing slightly sticky reel seat belts for example, and saved me a couple of hundred) on the runners.

It has been full and has had some heavyish items in it like tins and olive oils. Nothing overly crazy though, assuming that it's been built to handle this.

 

I think I'll have to disassemble it and see what's wrong. I may identified issue and contacted the supplier to see if they can support my diagnosis. 

 

Will keep you posted on the progress.
