[QUOTE="Tzs503gp, post: 777919, member: 19443"] I work in the industry- never oil these type of rails, whether top hung, or bottom rollers. You have described the consequences adequately. The track systems are designed to be non lubricated, and the perceived need to lube is as a result of improper installation, or poor quality, read:Cheap. Improper installation is often the result of poor building quality. In my experience, there is no communication between the builder, and subsequent finishing contractors, due to poor project management. These fairly precise systems are then installed into poorly built apertures, resulting in poor performance. There are products available on the market which one can use to alleviate the results of the above problems. Wurth, Den Braven, Liqui Moly and others sell a PTFE dry lubricant in a spray can, which dries on contact. Dust and dirt suspended in an oily carrier is grinding paste. You're making it worse. Avoid silicone sprays for the same reason. [/QUOTE]
