Sliding Door Tip

Thursday, December 1st, 2011

Sliding glass doors are heavy, but they should glide easily in their tracks with just a push of your hand. If you struggle with a door that gets stuck in its tracks or gets off track—getting it back on track can be easier than you think.

Sliding door repair can be a matter of a few simple adjustments, some basic maintenance and possibly replacing track wheels.

A problematic door could also be due to underlying structural problems with faulty framing or a rotting door sill, which would require greater expertise. But if your sliding door is not too old, work on making the roller wheels more functional. You can usually solve sliding door problems by replacing worn out roller track wheels, or simply adjusting and cleaning existing ones.

You may be able to get your door rolling again by simple cleaning, however once you take the door off and you find a serious problem beyond cleaning,  you are committed to go out and get the parts to fix it. We usually have the parts in the van to fix your door on the spot and will do it right the first time.

 

Are your doors sticking, dragging? Won’t lock?  Won’t close? Won’t open?  Won’t keep the bugs out?
