Common sliding door faults we fix in Newmarket
Here is what usually goes wrong with sliding doors, and what can be done about it:
Before calling out anyone in Newmarket 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 Newmarket house leaking at the bottom after heavy rain? Check the drainage slots in the outer frame are clear before assuming a seal has failed.
- A new lock gearbox or cylinder restores secure locking when a handle turns but the bolts no longer engage, without replacing the whole door.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.
- Repairing or refurbishing a damaged track removes the dips and burrs that make rollers jump, which stops a panel coming off its track.

Rules for sliding door repairs in England
Like-for-like repairs such as new rollers, locks, handles or adjustment are not building work under the Building Regulations in England. If the whole door is replaced, it becomes a controlled fitting and the replacement rules apply.
What we can repair
- Misted unit replacement. A new sealed safety glass unit in place of one that has failed.
- Track repair or refurbishment. Repairing damaged track sections, or fitting a new track cover where the system allows.
- Adjustment and service. Re-aligning panels, cleaning tracks and checking seals and drainage.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Newmarket
Do you repair sliding doors in Newmarket?
Yes. We repair sliding doors in Newmarket and across Suffolk, including nearby Haverhill. 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 you replace misted glass in a sliding door?
Yes, a misted sealed unit in a sliding door can usually be replaced on its own without changing the frame. The new unit is made to the size of the old one in safety glass, as glass in doors must be, and fitted into the existing panel. It is worth checking whether the frame is still sound first.
