Why repair your sliding door in Dunbar?
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
Is the patio door in your Dunbar house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
Landlords with properties in Dunbar can often keep a sound sliding door working with a roller and lock service rather than a full replacement.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Dunbar
Do you repair sliding doors in Dunbar?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Dunbar and across Edinburgh and the Lothians, including nearby North Berwick. Send photos or a short video and we will tell you the likely fix and cost before booking a visit.
Is it worth repairing an old sliding patio door?
Repairing an old sliding patio door is worth it if the frame and glass are sound and the parts are available, because a few new rollers or a lock can restore it for a fraction of the cost of replacement. If the frame is failing, the door is single glazed or parts are discontinued, replacement usually makes more sense.
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.
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.
