Sliding Door Installation and Repair

Sometimes, we face issues with the sliding doors of our houses and offices. In our sliding door replacement or installation experience, we have seen some major problems with sliding doors.

1. Sliding doors get stuck – Over time, they accumulate dirt, dust, or debris that prevents them from smoothly sliding open and closed. The wheels or tracks holding the door become misaligned or damaged.
2. Noisy doors – Old sliding doors often become noisy from wear and tear on the wheels or tracks. The squeaking and grinding sounds mean parts need lubrication or replacement. 
3. Doors don’t lock properly—The locking mechanism on sliding doors fails to latch securely or gets stuck in the closed position. If the door doesn’t lock to keep intruders out, it is a security issue.
4. Glass breaks or cracks – The glass panels used in sliding doors are susceptible to breaking if impacted by objects. The glass can develop hairline cracks over many open/close cycles from everyday stress and use.
5. Drafts and leaks—The seals and weatherstripping around sliding doors deteriorate over time. It allows air, allergens, and insects to enter or exit around the edges of the door, causing discomfort and raising energy bills.
