Sliding door repair refers to the process of fixing or maintaining a sliding door in order to keep it operating smoothly and efficiently. This can include tasks such as adjusting the door or its track, replacing worn or damaged parts, lubricating the moving parts, or cleaning the door and its components. In some cases, sliding door repair may involve more extensive work, such as replacing the door or its track, or installing a new sliding door system. Sliding door repair can be performed by a professional door repair technician. It is important to regularly maintain and repair a sliding door in order to prevent it from becoming stuck or difficult to open and close.
Roller Replacement or Repair
Our San Antonio technicians are the best in the industry when it comes to repairing sliding doors.
San Antonio Sliding Door Repair offers a large selection of precision bearing rollers in our supply and utility vans to fit any door.
Our service package includes two technicians coming to your property to assess the repair, provide you with a quote, then we replace the rollers, properly align panels for proper weather seal and lock alignment, lubricate the locking mechanism and weather stripping, and do a thorough cleaning of the door tracks with a vacuum and cleaning product to break down built-up grease and grime.
If we see that the bottom track is damaged and repairable there are a couple of stainless steel veneer options we have available for you to choose from. Please note that often times tracks are beyond repair. We do our best to fix what you have, but if the door has had a long period of deferred maintenance, it will likely need a new track.
Track Repair or Replacement
Rollers have a 1/4 round/radius/C shape that rides on the ball, and some tracks have a smaller ball than they should. This causes the rollers to wear down the track quicker than normal.
Rollers are made of Steel and Stainless Steel. These are hard metals compared to the aluminum that most tracks are made of. When a heavy sliding glass door with steel or stainless steel wheels underneath is rolling back and forth over a soft metal with a lot of weight, it can wear down the aluminum over time. A stainless steel veneer track not only ensures smooth, easy, and quiet doors. This type of track also prevents de-railing.
sliIf the track ball and track stem (where the rollers slide on) has any damage to it such as dents, waves, divots, valleys, or gouges because of old worn out rollers, we can install a stainless steel veneer cap over top of the damaged ball. This will provide a corrected surface that ensures a proper fit to new rollers.
If the divots, dents or valleys on the track are too deep and damaged, then a track replacement would be necessary to avoid future issues and to fix the problem.
Often times on a vinyl sliding door that is made of PVC/Plastic, we see the track cracked, split, and damaged near the ball and stem. If this is the case, we would need to replace it to prevent, your sliding door from going into the crack every time, having continuous issues, and regularly de-railing.
Track Replacement
Track replacements are necessary when we cannot repair the track because of excess damage.
If your track has corrosion because of improper installation, it’s time for a new track. The issue with your door will continue to worsen and cause more problems for you.
San Antonio Sliding Door techs start the process by coming out to your home to identify the proper track and asses what should be done to give you the best solution.
Once we identify your track and the parts needed, we can order everything, schedule an installation appointment, and come back to complete the installation.
The track replacement install process starts with removing the screen door, any fixed and operable panels, and then removing your old track carefully so no damage is done to your floor.
Once your old track is removed, our techs will install a three part weatherproofing flashing that ensures that the track will never leak, corrode, and will not bond to your foundation.
Once that part of the install is complete, we then replace the rollers with a new set. This is necessary. You want new rollers on a new track so that the old ones do not do what they did to your old track to your newly installed track.
HELPFUL CUSTOMER TIP: You can provide pictures to our office by email or text of the track and length if you want to expedite the process. This gives us a better idea of what is needed and what we are looking at for the project.
MORE ABOUT OUR TRACKS
Our tracks are made of 302 non magnetic stainless steel alloy. Our competitors and other internet suppliers usually sell 201 magnetic auto bright stainless steel tracks. This type of track will not only rust, but over time, will split in half because of the weak wall-thickness and lack of nickel content.
You get what you pay for in the long run and we want to save you the time, hassle, frustration, and most of all your money.
In our business, we have seen a lot of amiture repair attempts by handymen, DIY’ers, and contractors who are unfamiliar with door repairs like these. We highly advise against doing this. It ends up costing you more in the long run and can cause more damage to your track, rollers, and sliding door.
