Best Wheels / Rollers for your Sliding Door

Repairing Damaged Tracks

As time goes by the track your sliding door runs on can become damaged and not as smooth as it was when new; causing the wheels/rollers to wear or fail, resulting in noisy and rough sliding doors.

Uxbridge Door Repair can repair the track by installing an aluminum or stainless steel cover track, designed to fit perfectly over the worn and damaged track.

The advantage of the track cover is it allows sliding doors to be repaired where otherwise replacement is required. Once a cover track is fitted your door will run/roll smoothly and quietly, just like new. The track cover provides the newly installed wheels/rollers a perfectly smooth surface to run on, prolonging further the life of your sliding door.

If your sliding door is damaged to a point where simply changing the rollers is nothing short of a waste of time, unless the track is replaceable until now the only solution was to replace the door frame.

Door Repair in Uxbridge: Why Rural and Older Homes Are Different

We serve Uxbridge and the surrounding township, from the town itself out to Goodwood, Leaskdale, Udora, Zephyr and Sandford. Doors out here take a different kind of beating than doors in a city subdivision. Houses are more exposed to wind, many have walkout basements or decks on the back, and a good number are older farmhouses or bungalows that have been added onto over the years. That changes what fails and how we fix it.

• Exposure. A patio door facing an open field gets driven rain and snow that a door between two houses never sees. Weatherstrip and sill seals wear faster.
• Movement. Decks on posts, additions on new footings and older foundations all move a little with frost. A door that fit in August can bind in February.
• Mixed construction. Older homes may have doors that are not a standard size, which matters when a part or a new door is needed.

Sliding Door Repair in Uxbridge Through the Year

Sliding patio doors are the most common repair call we get from Uxbridge homeowners. The problems tend to follow the seasons.

Winter: frozen tracks and doors that will not seal

Snow packs into the bottom track and the weep holes freeze. Water then sits in the track and the door freezes shut, or it opens but will not close tight. Forcing a frozen door is how rollers break and handles snap. Keeping the track clear and the weep holes open prevents most of this. If the door has frost or ice forming on the inside along the interlock, the pile weatherstrip has worn out.

Spring: water at the sill

Melt water and spring rain show up as a wet floor or a stained subfloor inside the door. Causes include blocked weep holes, a failed sill seal, or a deck that has settled so it now slopes back toward the house. We check the door and the sill, and will tell you plainly if the problem is the deck or the grade rather than the door.

Summer: heavy, dragging doors

Doors that get used all day in summer show roller wear quickly. Grit from the deck or a gravel driveway grinds the bearings. The fix is new rollers matched to the panel, and a track repair if the rib on the sill is worn. Screen doors also come off their track and bend, and these can usually be straightened or re-rollered.

Fall: the best time to fix it

If the door was hard to use all summer, fall is the time to repair it, before snow and ice make a worn door much worse. A tuned door with new rollers and fresh weatherstrip is far easier to live with through an Uxbridge winter.

Patio Doors in Uxbridge: Repair, Glass or Full Replacement

We look at the whole opening before recommending anything.

Repair

New rollers, track repair, a new lock or handle, new pile weatherstrip and sill sealing. This covers the large majority of patio door calls and is usually far cheaper than replacement. Our sliding door repair page explains the parts in detail.

Glass only

A cracked or fogged glass unit can often be replaced without touching the rest of the door, as long as the frame is sound.

Replacement

When the frame is rotted, the sill is cracked, or the door is an old aluminum unit that has never sealed properly, replacement makes more sense. Some owners take the chance to switch to a swing patio door or a different width. Details are on our door replacement page.

Residential Door Repair in Uxbridge Beyond the Patio Door

Farmhouse and older wood doors

Solid wood front doors on older Uxbridge homes are often worth saving. Typical work includes rebuilding a loose joint at the bottom rail, planing a door that has swollen, refinishing a weathered face and fitting new hardware into old bores. See wood door repair for what can be restored.

Rotted frames and sills

On exposed doors, the bottom of the jamb and the end of the sill rot first. We cut out and splice the damaged section, or replace the frame if the rot has gone further up. Our door frame repair page shows how we decide.

Side, mudroom and garage entry doors

These doors get the most daily traffic on a rural property, often with boots, tools and dogs. Hinges loosen, sweeps tear and latches stop catching. These are quick repairs. For overhead garage doors, see garage door repair.

Door Replacement and Installation in Uxbridge

When a door is past repair, we offer replacement and door installation in Uxbridge with free in-home measurement. Published starting prices on our home page are: front entry door from $999, steel entrance door with glass insert from $1,199, and fiberglass door with glass insert and design from $1,499. On older homes, we measure the rough opening carefully, since the existing door may not be a standard size and the opening may need to be adjusted or shimmed for a new pre-hung unit.

Uxbridge Door Repair FAQ

Do you come out to the rural parts of Uxbridge Township?

Yes. We serve the town and the surrounding area, including hamlets like Goodwood, Leaskdale, Udora and Zephyr. Tell us the address when you call so we can plan the visit.

My patio door freezes shut every winter. Can that be fixed?

Usually. The cause is water sitting in the track because the weep holes are blocked or the sill seal has failed. Cleaning, resealing and new weatherstrip normally solve it.

Can you fit a new door into an older, non-standard opening?

Yes. We measure the rough opening and either order a door to suit or adjust the opening so a standard pre-hung unit fits properly.

Is a sliding door with worn rollers worth repairing?

In most cases, yes. Roller and track repair is far cheaper than a new door and brings back smooth operation if the frame and glass are still sound.
