Stuck Door? You May Need a 'Sliding Glass Door Track Repair Near Me'

A close-up of a sliding door track, a common 'sliding glass door track repair' job in West Palm Beach.

When your sliding door is hard to move, you might blame the rollers. But often, the real problem is the track they run on. If you're searching for 'sliding glass door track repair near me' in West Palm Beach, here's what you need to know about this common 'sliding patio door repair'.

How Do Tracks Get Damaged?

In West Palm Beach, aluminum tracks corrode from salt air. They also get dented, bent, and caked with sand. When old rollers rust and seize, they grind against the soft aluminum track, creating a 'V' shape that makes it impossible for new rollers to work.

The Solution: A Stainless Steel Track Cap

A full track replacement is almost never needed. The most effective 'sliding glass door track repair' is to install a stainless steel track cap. We clean and reshape the damaged track, then install a new, smooth, durable cap over it. It's like a brand new track, but stronger.

Why You Should Also Replace Your Rollers

A damaged track is almost always caused by bad rollers. We always replace the rollers at the same time we repair the track. Putting new rollers on a damaged track (or a new track cap under old rollers) will just cause the problem to return quickly.
