Common sliding door faults we fix in Teddington
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
Where an older sliding door in Teddington 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.
Before calling out anyone in Teddington 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.

What we can repair
- Adjustment and service. Re-aligning panels, cleaning tracks and checking seals and drainage.
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Teddington
How quickly can you fix a sliding door in Teddington?
We offer a repair date in the TW11 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.
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.
