Are you in need of a sliding door repair and live in the City of Casey? Then, you’ve found the right place!
If you are tired of struggling to open your patio door, I have put together some information to help you with any sliding door repair in your City of Casey home.
Sliding door repairs are one of the more common fixes that Cranbourne Home Improvements encounter. Since a sliding door is built with several moving parts and houses tend to settle over time, sliding doors will always need maintenance or repair. Whether it’s sliding glass doors, sliding timber doors, internal sliding doors or cavity sliding doors.(the ones that slide back inside the wall), the information below should have you back in business in no time.
The most common sliding door repair.
Sliding glass doors are heavy, regardless if they are made of timber or aluminium. Therefore, all that weight glides on two rollers atop a metal track. As a result, over time the rollers wear out or break, making the door hard to slide or not slide at all. The wheels of a sliding glass door can be replaced and easy enough for a DIY. You only need some basic tools and a strong back (to lift the door out and then put it back in)
While changing the rollers may seem simple enough, not all sliding doors are created equal. The selection of different sliding door rollers is mind boggling, so be sure to get the right wheels that fit your sliding door.
Some other challenges that might need a sliding door repair are;
- Sliding door won’t close and lock properly – This is caused by a house settling over time. Settling is caused when the wood that your home is built from dries. As the wood dries, it also shrinks and warps slightly. This is totally natural and happens with every timber frame home. Unfortunately, it can deform the frame of the door keeping the door from closing properly. When this occurs, the rollers under the door can normally be adjusted up and down to match the door to the frame. This should also realign the door lock.
- Cavity sliding door doesn’t slide straight or latch properly – This is usually caused by the door brackets being out of line with the door runner or requiring an up or down adjustment. This a very simple fix and can usually be done in less than an hour.
- Wardrobe doors are uneven– Like the cavity sliding door, the issue will be in the adjustment of the rollers. Depending on your type of wardrobe door, the rollers could be either at the top or bottom of the door. Don’t worry, it can be fixed. Just look for the adjusting screws.
