Why repair your sliding door in Christchurch?
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
Before calling out anyone in Christchurch for a door that will not lock, check whether the panel has dropped: if the hooks no longer meet the keeps, adjustment may be all it needs.
Where an older sliding door in Christchurch has several faults at once, such as misted glass, worn rollers and a failing lock, compare the total repair cost with a replacement before deciding.
- 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.
- Where a repair is not worth doing, for example because parts are unavailable, we say so plainly rather than fitting parts that will not last.
- A new lock gearbox or cylinder restores secure locking when a handle turns but the bolts no longer engage, without replacing the whole door.

Rules for sliding door repairs in England
Repairs are generally outside the Building Regulations in England. Any replacement glass we fit in a door is safety glazing, in line with Approved Document K, and if the door needs replacing rather than repairing, the controlled-fitting rules apply.
Repairs and upgrades to consider
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
- Handle replacement. Replacing broken or loose handles, including key-lockable versions.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Christchurch
How quickly can you fix a sliding door in Christchurch?
We offer a repair date in the BH23 district once you approve the price. Common parts such as rollers and handles can often be fitted on the first visit; specialist parts may need ordering.
Can a sliding door track be repaired?
A damaged sliding door track can often be repaired or refurbished, depending on the door and how badly the track is worn. On some systems a replacement track cover can be fitted over a worn track, and on others a damaged section can be repaired. If the track is part of a frame that is failing more widely, replacement may be the better option.
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.
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.
