- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire
Is it worth repairing an old sliding door in Stirling, Falkirk and Clackmannanshire?
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.
How can I stop my sliding door needing repairs?
Keeping the track clean is the most effective way to keep a sliding door running well, because grit wears rollers and damages the track surface. Vacuum the track regularly, wipe it with a damp cloth, keep drainage slots clear and avoid slamming panels into their stops. Our maintenance guide has a simple routine.
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.
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.
