Repair or replace: sliding doors in Kenilworth
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 Kenilworth home has started to drag, clean the bottom track thoroughly before booking anything, as grit alone can cause the problem.
Before calling out anyone in Kenilworth 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.
- Where a repair is not worth doing, for example because parts are unavailable, we say so plainly rather than fitting parts that will not last.
- A well-maintained, repaired door can give years more service, making a repair a sensible first step when the frame and glass are otherwise sound.
- Adjusting a dropped or misaligned panel can cure draughts, rattles and a door that will not close fully against its seals.

From photos to fixed door in Kenilworth
Send photos or a short video of the fault and we tell you the likely repair and cost before anyone visits. We then book a repair visit in the CV8 district at a time that suits you; most repairs are completed in a single visit, unless parts need ordering or a new glass unit must be made.
Do you need approval in Kenilworth?
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.
Common repairs and upgrades
- Lock and gearbox replacement. A new mechanism when the handle turns but the door will not lock.
- Adjustment and service. Re-aligning panels, cleaning tracks and checking seals and drainage.
- Roller replacement. New rollers for each sliding panel, restoring a smooth, quiet action.
Questions about sliding door repairs in Kenilworth
How quickly can you fix a sliding door in Kenilworth?
We offer a repair date in the CV8 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.
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.
Is there a free survey for sliding door repairs?
No, our free survey applies to new doors and replacements only. Repairs are quoted from photos and a short video you send us, or after a diagnostic visit where photos are not enough. If a visit is needed, the diagnostic visit costs £95 inc VAT and is confirmed before we attend, so you know where you stand.
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.
