Subject:Sliding Door Sticks on Westy!
From:Sam Moore
Date:Thu, 23 Oct 1997 14:36:49 -0400

Now that the weather is getting cool "not freezing yet" my sliding door
is sticking and I can only open it from the inside.  I stand by the door,
lift the lever, and push out on the door, and it opens.
I have talc the door gaskets, I have used grease on all the moving parts,
I have put WD 40 on anything that moves around the door.

Note, this phenomenon is entirely temperature dependent.  It works
normally above 60f.

Does any one have any suggestions, other than wait for spring, or move
south.

Thanks,

Sam Moore
