The difference between a close clearance smooth, light applied force and well made sliding door is apparent from a poorly made one and so is the pleasure to the user. The hushed noise of the oiled roller bearings is like a quiet precision orchestra. I recall that in our last rented house, the iron frame door to the clothes washing area was a sliding door. Over the years the bearings got rough and damaged. In this condition, oiling the bearings and track hardly made any difference. A great amount of force was needed to operate this door and a jerky operation resulted. The door could not be left unlocked for security reasons.
