Sliding Door Repair & Service - FAQ
General Sliding Door Questions
Sticky tracks, worn-out rollers, broken locks, misaligned frames, and foggy glass panels are the most common issues we fix.
If repairs don’t fix sticking, drafts, or security problems, a full replacement may be more cost-effective. We always provide an honest on-site assessment.
Most repairs can be completed in one to three hours, depending on the issue. More complex jobs, like full replacements, may take longer.
Costs vary by problem and parts, but basic repairs typically range from $100 to $300. We provide upfront, transparent pricing.
Basic cleaning and lubrication are fine for DIY. For track replacement, roller swaps, or glass replacement, professional tools and experience are strongly recommended for safety and proper function.
Track and Roller Questions
This usually means the rollers are worn out or the track is damaged. Dirt and debris buildup is another common cause.
We remove the door, clean and inspect the track, and straighten or replace it as needed. In severe cases, we install a new track.
With normal use, rollers can last five to ten years. Environmental factors like sand and salt air may shorten that lifespan.
Grinding noises, rough or jerky sliding, or a door that keeps coming off the track are clear signs.
We can upgrade old plastic rollers to stainless steel or ball-bearing rollers for smoother operation and longer life.
Lock and Handle Questions
The latch may be misaligned or worn out. We adjust the strike plate or replace the lock as needed.
Standard sliding door locks provide basic security. For improved safety, we recommend adding a security bar or upgrading to a multi-point locking system.
Yes. We carry a wide range of replacement handles to match different door brands and models.
Add a security pin, use a floor-mounted security bar, install a quality lock, and maintain the track and rollers to ensure proper closure.
Glass and Frame Questions
Yes. We can replace damaged glass panels and reseal failed units to restore clarity and energy efficiency.
Small problems like rollers or locks are inexpensive to repair. But severe frame warping or major glass damage often means replacement is more cost-effective long term.
Yes. We can install double-pane, low-E glass to help reduce heat gain and UV exposure in Hollywood’s coastal climate.
Yes, we work with many impact-rated sliding door systems. Some repairs may require original parts or full replacement to maintain storm safety.
Maintenance and Care Questions
Vacuum out loose dirt and debris. Scrub with warm soapy water and a small brush. Use a dry silicone spray to lubricate the track.
At least twice a year is best, especially in coastal areas like Hollywood where salt and sand buildup is common.
A dry silicone spray works best. Avoid grease or oil-based products, which attract dirt.
