What does a sliding door repair service include?

Sliding door repair specialists can help you repair your door whether you need a simple replacement part, or you need to replace the door entirely. Whether you need help fixing the panels of a sliding balcony door or repairing sliding patio doors, Taskers are here to help. Though the method of repair may vary between handymen, here’s what you can expect from a standard maintenance and repair service:

Cleaning out the tracks

The most common cause of a difficult-to-open sliding door is debris in the lower track. The channel can easily become clogged with dirt and disrupt the rollers on the door. The first step of your sliding door track repair service is to clean it out. The repairer will clean out the lower and upper tracks using a stiff brush, toothbrush, and a hand vacuum. After the tracks are thoroughly cleaned, they’ll apply an aerosol lubricant to both the upper and lower tracks.

Roller repair

Need sliding door roller repair? If the door is still difficult to open after the track is clean, your repairer will adjust the rollers at the bottom of the door. Rollers can wear down with time and lower the bottom of the door, causing the door to rub against the track. Most sliding doors have an adjusting screw located at the bottom of the door ends that raises and lowers the roller. The handyman will adjust this screw until the door stops rubbing on the bottom track and it becomes easier to slide open and close.

Roller replacement

If the roller on the sliding door is damaged beyond repair, the handyman may decide the best remedy is to replace it entirely. The stiles of the moving panel are first unscrewed and removed to detach the door. One handyman will lift the door so that the other handyman can slide the bottom rail over. The roller can be unscrewed, removed, and replaced. The door is put back into place, and the rollers are adjusted so the door sits squarely in the frame.

Door replacement

Planning to install new doors? If your whole sliding door needs to be replaced, your handyman will take the same steps to remove the door, as they would if they were replacing the roller. However, instead of replacing the roller, they’ll remove the door entirely, and replace it with a new one. They’ll clean the tracks and adjust the rollers so your new door can operate smoothly.

We have 3 no. aluminum framed sliding doors that are very difficult to open and close. Metal door frame seems to be catching on the metal track creating a lot of friction. Sliding doors are all in good condition but quite old (maybe 50 years old). three doors need to be serviced.

Hi, I’ve recently replaced the handle on our sliding door. However as shown in the photos, the handle sticks out too far and blocks the mesh door on the other side, so we can’t open the sliding door and close the mesh door. I’m looking for someone who can: 1. Replace the handle so the sliding door doesn’t block the mesh door. I’ve bought a different handle from Bunnings but installation looks pretty complicated, it looks like you have to drill a slot into the door. I’ve taken a photo of this handle. You can either use it or supply your own replacement handle 2. Replace the mesh and seals on the mesh door as it’s pretty old and tattered Thanks Jack - Due date: Flexible

We have three tasks we would like done. Replace broken window in garage Replace door in garage (replacement door supplied) Fix sliding door on back of house that is sticking. I suspect the roller needs replacing. I expect we'll need to pay for materials on top of this price. I'm not really familiar of what is a reasonable price so please put in your offers. We're looking for someone we can use for a variety of other tasks around the house in the future. - Due date: Flexible

Colorbond gate: left and right gate are colliding(overlapping), gate can't be closed, don't know how this happened over time. Not sure if this can be fixed or needs replacing. Shed Sliding Door: The sliding door is held by wheels running on rails on the top, but something has come loose on the right end causing the door to drag on the ground and hard to close.
