Common sliding door faults we fix in Broxburn
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 Broxburn 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.
Is the patio door in your Broxburn house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
- Quoting from photos and a short video means many repairs can be priced without a visit, saving time and the diagnostic visit charge for straightforward jobs.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.
- A well-maintained, repaired door can give years more service, making a repair a sensible first step when the frame and glass are otherwise sound.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Broxburn
Do you repair sliding doors in Broxburn?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Broxburn and across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including nearby Livingston. Send photos or a short video and we will tell you the likely fix and cost before booking a visit.
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.
How do I know if my sliding door rollers need replacing?
Sliding door rollers usually need replacing when the panel becomes hard to push, rumbles or grinds as it moves, sits lower at one end or jumps off the track. Cleaning the track first is worth trying, because grit can cause similar symptoms. If the door is still heavy once the track is clean, the rollers are likely worn or broken.
