Patio/Sliding Glass Door Repair
Sliding Glass Door Roller Replacement
Our trained technicians and mobile service makes repairing your sliding doors and windows quick and easy. Our extensive mobile hardware inventory of manufacturer’s replacement parts allows us to complete most repairs with only one trip to your home. We have a large selection of rollers on hand to fit almost any door.
Our roller replacement package includes cleaning the track, replacement of the sliding glass door rollers, realigning the panels, and adjusting locks so that the door rolls smoothly and locks securely. We'll even clean the glass. In many cases the bottom track has become damaged; we have solutions for that, too.
When bottom tracks become damaged or dented it's usually due to prolonged use with worn out rollers. It can also be the result of using the wrong type of roller on the rolling panel. We can fix this by installing a stainless steel track cap over top of the damaged bead, proving a smooth, dent-free, damage-resistant surface for the rollers to roll on. Think of it as putting a crown on a damaged tooth.
If the track bead (the part of the bottom track that the rollers roll on) is damaged beyond repair, replacement of the entire bottom track is one of the only options. When we do a complete track replacement, we remove the door panels from the opening, extract the old track, install the new replacement track, seal it and replace the rollers. We will also apply a waterproofing material in the corners and under the newly installed track.
No track replacement is complete without installing the protective stainless steel track cap mentioned above, to ensure your track is never damaged again.
Waterproofing with a Sill Pan
If your existing sliding door track is leaking causing damage to interior flooring or drywall, we can install a new bottom track with a thin metal sill pan. Also known as THE FLOYD PAN, named after the original sliding door repair guru who started putting sill pans under leaky tracks back in 1985. The pan is glued down with a waterproofing material, and then the track is glued to the pan. The sill pan will capture water and direct it outside where it belongs. Problem solved.
Broken patio door glass? Foggy Glass?
Slides Rite Sliding Door Repair is your best source for all of your residential glass replacement needs. We keep standard size glass in stock and can respond quickly.
If the side rails are pulling away from the glass it may be due to excessive force while opening and closing the sliding glass door. This is caused by worn out rollers. The door is no longer rolling and the wheels may be completely frozen solid. Dragging a sliding door back and forth with rollers that aren't working properly will in time damage the bottom track and can cause the rails to pull away from the glass. For this type of problem we will remove the panel from the opening, disassemble the frame from the glass, replace or reattach rubber glazing, then reassemble the frame and reinstall door.
Sliding door roller replacement will also be necessary to keep the rails from pulling away from the glass again.
When the header above the opening has settled down in the middle (header sag) and the doors are binding and not moving freely, there are two options. 1) a new door, or 2) a glass cut-down. Basically, we need to make the panels shorter. We will rebuild the panels with the new shorter glass, freeing up the panel to roll as it was intended. This is also a good time to change the rollers and install the protective sill cap.

We offer many types of sliding glass door handles and lock replacements, security bolts and various security options. We also offer aftermarket pulls that will allow you to slide your patio door with ease.
