Why repair your sliding door in Galashiels?
Most sliding door problems come down to a handful of worn parts, and a repair is often far cheaper than a new door:
If a sliding door at your Galashiels home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
Is the patio door in your Galashiels house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
- Misted sealed units can usually be replaced individually with new safety glass units, restoring the view and the insulation of that panel.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.
- 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.

Questions about sliding door repairs in Galashiels
Do you repair sliding doors in Galashiels?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Galashiels and across the Scottish Borders, including nearby Selkirk. 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.
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.
