Why patio doors become hard to slide
Sliding patio doors rely on rollers running smoothly along a track. Dirt, worn rollers, damaged track surfaces or poor adjustment can make the door heavy to move. The lock may also stop lining up if the sliding panel sits too low or at an angle.
Rollers, tracks and locking hardware
A repair assessment should look at the full sliding system, not only the lock. Cleaning and adjustment may help in some cases; other doors need compatible roller assemblies or hardware. The available repair depends on the age and make of the system.
Common issues we can discuss
- Heavy or uneven sliding action
- Worn rollers and track faults
- Locks that no longer line up
- Draughts at the meeting edges
Improving operation and weather protection
A correctly aligned door should move predictably, close securely and meet its seals. Draughts or rattling can indicate wear at the meeting stile or around the frame. Let us know whether the door is sliding, lifting or folding, as the mechanisms differ.
