Sliding Glass Door Repair
Can my sliding glass door be repaired instead of replaced?
In most cases, yes. The majority of sliding door problems come from worn rollers, dirty or damaged tracks, misalignment, worn seals or faulty locks. These parts can usually be repaired or replaced individually.
Why is my sliding door suddenly so hard to push?
The most common causes are worn or broken rollers, debris packed into the track, or a damaged track surface. A door that has dropped out of adjustment can also drag on the frame.
Sliding Door Roller Replacement
How do I know if my rollers need replacing?
If the door is heavy, grinds, scrapes the bottom of the frame or moves unevenly even after the track is cleaned, the rollers are the likely cause.
Can rollers just be adjusted instead of replaced?
Sometimes. If the rollers are in good condition but set too low, an adjustment can help. Worn, cracked or seized wheels need to be replaced.
Sliding Door Track Repair
Can a bent sliding door track be fixed?
Often, yes. Minor dents and bends can usually be straightened or capped. Severe damage may require a replacement rail or a frame repair.
What is a track cap?
A track cap is a replacement running surface that fits over a worn track, giving the rollers a smooth, even path again.
Sliding Door Lock and Handle Repair
Why won't my sliding door lock line up anymore?
Most often the door panel has dropped because the rollers are worn or out of adjustment, so the latch sits too low or too high for the keeper.
Can you replace just the handle?
Yes. If the lock works but the handle is broken, we can usually replace the handle set alone with a compatible one.
Sliding Door Alignment and Adjustment
How do I know if my sliding door is out of alignment?
Look for an uneven gap along the edge, a panel that rubs, a door that won't fully close, or a lock that no longer lines up.
Is alignment the same as roller replacement?
No. Alignment adjusts the position of existing rollers. If the rollers are worn out, they need to be replaced before the door can be properly aligned.
Sliding Door Weatherstripping Replacement
How do I know if my weatherstripping needs replacing?
Look for flattened, cracked or missing seals and pile, and watch for drafts, water, insects or more outdoor noise near the door.
Will new weatherstripping lower my energy bills?
Better seals reduce air leakage, which can help your air conditioning work less. Results vary depending on the door and home.
Sliding Screen Door Repair
Why does my screen door keep falling off the track?
Usually the rollers are worn or set too low, or the frame is bent so it no longer fits the opening properly.
Can you rescreen my sliding screen door?
Yes, rescreening is part of our sliding screen door repair service.
