Sliding Door Tips & Guides
Honest advice from Orlando’s 5.0-star sliding glass door repair team.
Need a repair, not a how-to?
Jump straight to the fix
The guides below are here to help you understand what your door is doing. If you already know the symptom and just want it fixed, these pages go straight to the point — what causes it, what it costs, and how long it takes.
The door is stuck or hard to open
It sticks, drags, needs two hands, or will not move at all. Usually worn rollers — and almost always repairable.
The lock will not catch, or you are locked out
Latches that miss, seized locks, and handles that turn without engaging. Replacement and realignment.
Water is pooling in the track
Blocked weep holes leave standing water sitting around the rollers, which is what makes them fail early.
Drafts, bugs or gaps around the door
Failed weatherstripping and seals — the fix that caulk is usually standing in for.
It jams in one spot along the track
A gouged, bent or corroded bottom rail. Tracks are restored or capped rather than replaced.
Something else is broken
Broken sliding doors of every kind — rollers, tracks, locks, frames and glass. Start here.
