This sliding door repair FAQ answers common questions about rollers, tracks, locks, pocket doors and window repairs. Smooth Sliders serves homes and businesses in Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties.
What types of doors and windows do you service?
Our services include sliding glass door repair and installation, patio doors, pocket doors, closet and bi-fold doors, barn doors, sliding screens and windows. We also assess impact door and window hardware. Tell us the type of door or window and the problem when you call so we can discuss the appropriate service.
How do I know if my sliding door needs repair?
Common signs include a panel that drags, grinding rollers, a damaged track, uneven closing, a loose handle or a lock that does not latch. Visible glass damage and moisture between panes also need assessment. Avoid forcing a jammed door. Stop using a panel that feels unstable or has cracked glass and arrange an inspection.
Does a difficult-to-open door need new rollers?
Worn rollers are one possible cause. Track debris, damaged rails and misalignment can cause similar symptoms. We inspect the door before recommending compatible replacement rollers, track work or adjustments. The condition of the frame and glass also affects the repair options.
Do you offer same-day repairs?
Same-day appointments may be available depending on scheduling, your location and the parts required. Call 954-818-9607 to check availability. Some repairs need parts that must be ordered or additional work after the initial inspection.
How much does sliding door repair cost?
The cost depends on the door type, damaged components, access and the work required. Smooth Sliders offers free estimates. Describe the symptoms by phone or use our contact page to request an estimate. We explain the recommended repair before proceeding.
Can you repair pocket doors?
Yes. Pocket doors may need roller, track, guide, latch or alignment repairs. Access to hardware inside the wall can affect the work required. The pocket dimensions depend on the door and hardware system, so an inspection and measurements are needed for installation decisions. Learn more about our pocket door repair and installation services.
Do you repair sliding screen doors?
We assess screen mesh, rollers, tracks and frames to determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate. Compatible screen options depend on the existing door system. Ask about our sliding screen door service when requesting an estimate.
Can you help with impact windows and doors?
We assess impact doors and windows for hardware, movement and locking problems. Repair and replacement options depend on the product and its condition. Tell us the manufacturer or model if you know it, and describe any visible damage so we can discuss the next steps.
Do you have a guarantee for parts and labor?
Smooth Sliders offers a 90-day guarantee on parts and labor. Ask us about the coverage for your specific job when reviewing the estimate. If a problem arises within that period, contact us to discuss it.
How should I clean patio door glass and tracks?
Follow the door or window manufacturer’s cleaning instructions, especially for coated glass and impact products. Use a soft cloth and a suitable non-abrasive cleaner. Remove loose track debris carefully; avoid products or tools that can damage seals, finishes or hardware.
Can I drill into a door to hang blinds or decorations?
Check the manufacturer’s instructions before altering a door or window. Drilling can damage components, affect seals or interfere with operation. Ask about compatible mounting options before making changes, particularly on impact products.
What is included in a new door installation?
The components and scope vary by the selected door system and site conditions. Review the estimate for the frame, panels, tracks, hardware and installation work included. Ask about any additional materials or finishing work before proceeding.
