    • Investigate the cleanliness of the tracks.

    • If the tracks are dirty, scrub them with toothbrush to clean out the dust.

    • You can use a rag or a hand vacuum to remove the loosened dust.

    I like the bolding of "clean out dust"

    • Investigate whether the sliding door is along the top tracks.

    • If the door is completely unhooked from the top tracks:

    • Try to lift up on the door.

    • Slightly push the door in toward the closet.

    • Hook in the top rollers back onto the upper tracks.

    Add caution to lifting - closet door could be potentially hazardous

    • If the bottom rollers do not align, follow these steps:

    • CAUTION: The doors may be heavy. Ask somebody for assistance.

    • Do not force anything.

    • Gently try to lift up on the door and guide its bottom rollers into the bottom tracks.

    • If the door still needs to be realigned, continue to Step 4.

    • If the door is successfully realigned with the bottom tracks, continue to Step 6.

    • Lift the top rollers up, then above and onto the top tracks.

    • This is what gives the door enough space to fit back into the bottom tracks.

    • If this doesn't work, see Step 5.

    • Another sliding door behind may be creating a space constraint.

    • Grab the sliding door that is behind it.

    • Lift it up so that the rollers at the bottom disconnect with the track.

    • Keep the top rollers connected.

    • Put down the door so that the bottom rollers are behind the track, closer to the closet.

    • Grab the door in front.

    • Attach it to both the top and bottom tracks.

    • Grab the door behind and do the same.

    • The doors should be located properly on their tracks.

    • Try to slide the doors along the tracks.

    • If they don't slide well, you may need to lubricate the tracks:

    • Grab a lubricant: olive oil, fish oil, mineral oil, or petroleum jelly.

    • Apply a small amount of the lubricant to the edge of the rag.

    • Fit the edge of the rag into the tracks.

    • Spread the rag throughout the tracks to spread the lubricant.

    • Slide the closet door along the tracks to spread the lubricant further.

    Lubrication isn't the same as misaligned tracks, perhaps your fix should be how to fix a difficult opening closet door

Hi, so this was sorta useful for me but I still have another question. My door slides along the floor and doesn't have a bottom track. Any tips as to how I'd go about fixing it? Thanks
