Relevant Background on Sliding Door: "A sliding door is a type of door which opens horizontally by sliding, usually parallel to a wall. Sliding doors can be mounted either on top of a track below or be suspended from a track above and some types 'disappear' in a wall when slid open.[1] There are several types of sliding doors such as pocket doors, Arcadia doors, and bypass doors. Sliding doors are commonly used as shower doors, glass doors, screen doors, wardrobe doors or in vans...Sometimes a top hung system cannot be used, as the weight of the door cannot be supported from above; in this case a bottom rolling system is recommended. A bottom rolling system consists of two rollers (sometimes called a sheave) at the bottom of the door running on a track and two guides at the top running in a guide channel. As all the weight of the door is concentrated on the two bottom wheels, more force is needed to move the door than on a top hung system.; (cite a reference for this assertion).."

Relevant Material on Sliding Door Maintenance: "Sliding glass doors can help you fight the winter blues by letting extra light into your home, but they can also be one more thing to maintain during the winter.... Due to frozen runoff in the tracks or excess condensation on the glass, sliding doors can freeze shut. If you live in an area with ice and snow, insulate sliding doors before the cold weather hits.... Wipe the glass door's tracks with warm water and soap before the temperature drops. Clean dirt and debris from the tracks so nothing obstructs the doors. Apply an insulating lubricant such as WD-40 to the tracks. This helps prevent them from freezing."
