Diagnose it

What’s wrong with your door

Find your problem here and you’ll know whether it’s a repair or a replacement before we even show up.

  • Drags or sticks. Heavy to slide, or it grinds along the track. Usually the rollers.
  • Jumps the track. The door pops out of the bottom channel. Rollers or a bent track.
  • Won’t lock. The latch misses or won’t catch. Hardware or an out-of-square door.
  • Foggy glass. Haze between the panes. A failed seal on a dual-pane door.
  • Broken pane. Cracked or shattered glass in the door itself.

Most of these are repairs. Send a photo of the door and the track and we’ll tell you which.

Most common fix

Roller and track repair

A dragging patio door is almost always the rollers. They wear flat, seize up, or the track they ride in gets packed with grit and bent.

We replace the rollers, clean or replace the track, and get the door gliding again. It’s the most common sliding-door job we do, and the one people don’t believe is fixable until they slide the door with one finger afterward. Roller replacement depends on the door and the roller system, which we identify from a photo. We carry the common roller and track systems and finish most jobs in one visit; when a part has to be ordered, vendor delivery sets the date, which we confirm at measure.

Glass only

Glass replacement in a sliding door

The glass in a patio door has to be tempered by code, because it’s a big pane where people walk. So we don’t cut it to size in the field. We order the tempered unit made to your door.

If the glass is cracked, or a dual-pane panel has fogged from a failed seal, we replace the glass and leave the frame and rollers in place where they’re sound. Cheaper than a whole new door. Ordered glass typically arrives in 3 to 5 business days.

Security

Locks, handles and security

A patio door is a common way into a house, so the lock matters. We replace worn latches, add or repair the handle, and fit the security hardware that keeps the door from being lifted out of its track. See Door Hardware Repair.

When repair isn’t enough

Full door replacement

When the frame is corroded, the door is bent, or the repair cost climbs past a new unit, replacement is the honest call. We measure, order the door and set it, and haul the old one away. We’ll show you the repair number and the replacement number so you can choose.

Outdoor doors

Patio and pool doors

Sliding doors onto a patio or pool deck take sun, wind and chlorine, and they wear faster for it. We service and replace patio and pool-side sliding glass, including the wider multi-panel doors. See Patio & Pool Glass and our multi- and bi-folding doors.

While we’re out

Screen doors

The sliding screen alongside the glass door tears, jumps its track and sags in the desert sun. We re-mesh or rebuild it while we’re out. See Screen Door Repair Las Vegas.

FAQ

Sliding glass door FAQ

Can you fix a door that won’t slide?
Yes. That’s our most common sliding-door repair. A door that drags, sticks or grinds is almost always worn rollers or a packed, bent track. We replace the rollers, clean or replace the track, and the door slides with one finger again. Send a photo of the track and we’ll tell you what it needs. We’re licensed, Nevada C-8 unlimited #0004490A, and rated 4.9 stars across 400+ Google reviews.
How much does it cost to replace the rollers?
It depends on the door and the roller system, which we identify from a photo. Rollers are a repair, not a replacement, so it’s a fraction of the cost of a new door. We give you the number before we start.
Can you replace just the glass in a patio door?
Yes. If the frame and rollers are sound and only the glass is cracked or fogged, we replace the glass unit and leave the rest. Patio-door glass is tempered by code, so we order it made to your door rather than cut it on site, usually 3 to 5 business days.
Do you work on multi-slide and pocket doors?
Yes, including the wider multi-panel patio doors. Those are heavier and the rollers and tracks take more load, so send a photo of the full door and the track and we’ll tell you what the repair or replacement takes.
Is it worth repairing, or should I replace the whole door?
Repair it when the frame is sound and the fault is rollers, track, glass or hardware. That’s most doors, and it’s far cheaper. Replace it when the frame is corroded or bent, or when the repair would cost more than a new door. We show you both numbers and let you decide.
