Sliding glass doors are a great way to bring natural light into your home and provide a smooth transition from inside to outside. Although they are generally effortless, they sometimes require simple repairs. The four most common sliding glass door repairs are related to door closers, rollers, glass replacement, and screws. When a door closer is properly installed, the user will experience some resistance when opening the door.
Once the resistance stops, a spring in the door closer causes the arm to close carefully while the door returns to its frame. Most sliding glass door repairs are simple and don't require a lot of money, but some can be complicated and are best fixed by a professional. The rollers of sliding doors need to be in excellent condition for them to move smoothly. If your sliding glass door gets stuck frequently and only moves with a lot of force, the rollers may have become clogged over time. The specialists at Glass Doctor of Spokane are extensively trained in the installation and maintenance of door closers.
If your door closer is protected by a warranty, it could be inadvertently voided if an untrained person attempts to repair it. If the sliding door glass breaks, it's best to hire an experienced professional to replace it, rather than taking on the task on your own. When repairing curves, make sure that you don't apply excessive force, as this could damage the sliding glass door. If the screws loosen or fall out over time, you can realign the sliding glass door by simply tightening the screws or replacing them with new ones.
