DIY Patio Door Repair: What You Can Fix vs. When to Call a Pro
A sticking patio door is a pain. As a West Palm Beach homeowner, you might be tempted to 'fix patio door' yourself. But when is it a simple DIY, and when do you need a professional 'sliding glass patio door repair' service? Here's a breakdown.
Easy DIY Fix: A Dirty Track
This is the best place to start. Use a stiff brush and a vacuum to clean all the sand, pet hair, and debris from the track. You can then wipe it down with a mild solvent. Sometimes, this is all you need to 'fix sliding glass door' issues.
Call a Pro: Roller Replacement
This is not a simple DIY. First, the glass door panel is extremely heavy and dangerous to remove without two people and the right tools. Second, finding the exact roller match is very difficult. A pro 'sliding patio door repair' technician will have the right parts on their truck.
Call a Pro: Alignment and Track Repair
If your door is crooked or the track is bent, a pro is needed. We have to properly align the door so it locks correctly. If the track is damaged, we'll install a new stainless steel cap. These are precision jobs that are best left to an expert.
