Don’t Replace Your Sliding Door. Restore It for a Fraction of the Cost!
Is your patio door suddenly a workout machine? Hard to open, heavy to slide, or impossible to close without slamming it? Many homeowners think a stiff sliding door means it’s time for a brand-new one. In most cases, that expense is completely unnecessary. The problem almost always comes down to worn rollers.
At Dryer Vent Cleaner, we partner with our sister company Window Repair Man to offer professional patio door repair services. Together, we bring doors back to life so they glide smoothly again.
Why Patio Doors Become Hard to Move
Sliding doors rely on a set of rollers that carry the full weight of the glass. Over time, those rollers:
• Flatten under the weight
• Collect dirt and debris
• Corrode from moisture
• Stop spinning properly due to seizure
When that happens, the door starts dragging on the track and feels extremely heavy. A quick roller replacement fixes the issue and you’ll immediately feel the difference. Most doors slide like new again!
Difficulty Closing or Locking? Still a Roller Issue
If your door won’t close properly, doesn’t align with the latch, or takes effort to lock, the rollers have likely dropped and thrown everything out of line. Once new rollers are installed and the door height is corrected, the lock usually works as designed.
We also offer:
✅ Lock replacement
✅ Additional security hardware
✅ Anti-lift locking bars
✅ Security pins to prevent forced entry
Better safety, smoother operation—no need to replace the entire door.
Worn or Damaged Track? We Can Repair It
Sometimes the rollers wear down so much that the track becomes damaged. You might notice dents, pits, or grooves along the rail. Instead of replacing the entire frame, Window Repair Man can install a stainless-steel track cap, giving the sliding door a brand-new surface to glide on.
Track caps improve:
• Smooth sliding motion
• Longevity of the rollers
• Overall strength and stability of the track
It’s a smart, cost-effective repair option.
Why Repair Instead of Replace?
✔ Avoid spending thousands on a new door
✔ Keep your current style and matching hardware
✔ Faster turnaround than ordering new glass units
✔ Eco-friendly repair instead of landfill waste
✔ Instant improvement in function and security
Most repairs are completed in a single visit.
Signs Your Patio Door Needs Roller Replacement
• Heavy or sticky movement
• Grinding and scraping noises
• Black dust along the track from worn rollers
• Hard to close or lock
• Track visibly damaged or dented
If any of this sounds familiar, you don’t need a new door—just the right repair team.
