The Commonest Problems with Sliding Doors

Daily wear and tear can have a gradual impact on one of the key features in your home’s structure – the glass sliding door. They offer the smoothest transition from indoors to outdoors, adding a convenience and transparency that really brightens the home. The opening and closing actions should be effortless and all that is normally needed for this is a few simple repairs.

For a truly effortless sliding door action, the wheels must be properly aligned on the tracks. Over time, the rollers can get detached or misaligned from the track by the screws holding the wheels. This is easily resolved with a professional overhaul of the screws and rolling action.

The Sliding Door Rollers

The most common issue that happens with glass sliding doors is when the condition of the rollers is less than excellent. This leads to a jerky, noisy door action. If your door is often getting stuck, moves only with force exerted on it or simply feels sticky, then your rollers have become obstructed with something or need to be replaced.

Another sliding door issue that can hinder a smooth door action is when dirt or debris collect in hard-to-see places. This can lead to the rollers becoming bent, cracked or rusted. A professional appraisal can quickly pinpoint the problem and replace your door rollers with lightning quick speed and efficiency.
