Sliding door repairs in Aberdeen: what to know
Before you replace a sliding door, it is worth knowing which faults can be put right:
Is the patio door in your Aberdeen house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
When sending photos of an Aberdeen door for a repair quote, include any label on the frame edge or spacer bar, because it can help identify the system and its parts.
- Replacing worn rollers is often enough to bring back the light, smooth action of a sliding panel that has become heavy and noisy to open.
- A new lock gearbox or cylinder restores secure locking when a handle turns but the bolts no longer engage, without replacing the whole door.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.

Common repairs and upgrades
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
- Track repair or refurbishment. Repairing damaged track sections, or fitting a new track cover where the system allows.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Aberdeen
Is it worth repairing an old sliding door in Aberdeen?
Often, yes. New rollers, a lock gearbox or a track refurbishment cost a fraction of a new door. If the frame is twisted or the door fails on thermal performance, we will say so and price a replacement instead.
Is there a free survey for sliding door repairs?
No, our free survey applies to new doors and replacements only. Repairs are quoted from photos and a short video you send us, or after a diagnostic visit where photos are not enough. If a visit is needed, the diagnostic visit costs £95 inc VAT and is confirmed before we attend, so you know where you stand.
What photos should I send for a repair quote?
Send a photo of the whole door from inside, close-ups of the handle, the lock edge and the bottom track, and any label or marking on the frame or glass spacer. A short video of the door opening and closing is especially helpful. Tell us roughly how old the door is and what it is doing wrong.
Why won't my sliding door lock?
A sliding door that will not lock usually has a failed lock gearbox, a worn or broken keep, or a panel that has dropped so the hooks no longer line up with the frame. Forcing the handle can make it worse. Photos of the handle, the lock edge and the frame where the hooks engage usually show which part has failed.
