Here are some common sliding door repairs we’ve encountered – and fixed in Palm Springs, Indian Wells, Rancho Mirage, La Quinta and nearby – over the years:
Rollers, installed on either side of your sliding door, make it easy for you to open and close your door. So, if your door happens to get stuck or it becomes more difficult to maneuver, chances are there’s a problem with the rollers. From cracks to bends, damaged rollers have to be replaced. But the problem may be simpler than that. Mud, food, hair or dirt can get stuck in the track or the rollers and obstruct the door’s movement. If a dirty roller is the problem, all it takes is a thorough cleaning.
If the screws holding your rollers become loose or fall out, it will cause your sliding door to jump out of the track, thus moving the whole door out of alignment. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to open or close your door until this problem is fixed. Need fast garage door repair? Call today!
Damage to the bottom track of your sliding doors can cause an array of problems.
Are you noticing waves, divots or dents in your track bead? This is caused by worn out rollers. The fix involves installing a cap over the damaged bead and filling in the divots, creating a smooth, dent-resistant surface.
Is your track bending? From inward (toward the floor) to outward, a bent track will prevent your door from moving all the way on the track or cause it to jump off-track. Fixing a bent track requires pulling or pushing it back into place. But to ensure you don’t damage your door, let our professionals help.
If the track is severely damaged, a sliding door repair might fail to do the trick. In this case, our professionals will help you remove the old track and replace it with a new one. Smart garage door openers start here – Contact us!
Door Pros installs and repairs sliding glass doors, sliding screen doors, and multi-panel sliding systems for Palm Desert homes. Whether you need a patio slider replaced or a new screen door fitted to match your existing frame, our technicians handle every style commonly found across the Coachella Valley.
If your door sticks, wobbles on its track, or lets outside air in around the edges, a repair may be all you need. However, if the frame is warped, the glass seal has failed, or the door has been patched multiple times already, replacement is usually the more cost-effective long-term option.
Yes, when properly selected and installed. Palm Desert temperatures regularly exceed 110 degrees in summer, so the right glass coating and frame material matter. Door Pros recommends low-E glass and thermally broken frames that reduce heat transfer and help keep indoor cooling costs manageable in the desert climate.
In most cases, yes. Door Pros keeps common parts stocked for Palm Desert and surrounding Coachella Valley service calls. If your sliding door is stuck open or jammed shut, call 877-787-3667, and we will do our best to get a technician to your home the same day you call.
A standard sliding door installation typically takes a few hours from start to finish, depending on the size and configuration. If the opening needs resizing or the frame requires custom work, it may take a full day. Our Palm Desert team provides a clear time estimate before any work begins.
