Sliding Glass Door Repair Done Right

Sliding glass doors are one of the most used features in any South Florida home. They connect your living space to the patio, pool, and backyard. They let in natural light and fresh air. And because they get opened and closed dozens of times a day, they take more wear and tear than almost any other part of your home.

Over time, that constant use takes a toll. The rollers flatten and corrode. The track fills with dirt, sand, and debris. The lock starts to feel loose. The door begins to drag, stick, or bounce off the frame instead of closing smoothly. These problems do not fix themselves, and they always get worse if ignored.

At All Star Sliding Doors, sliding glass door repair is what we do best. Our technicians have repaired thousands of sliding doors across Broward County, and we bring that experience to every job. We do not guess at the problem or try a quick fix that will fail in a few weeks. We inspect the entire door system, identify every issue, and make the repairs that will last.

Common Problems

Signs Your Sliding Door Needs Repair

If any of these issues sound familiar, your sliding glass door is telling you it needs professional attention. The sooner you address the problem, the less expensive the repair will be.

🚫

Door Sticks or Drags

You have to push with both hands, lift the door, or rock it back and forth just to get it open. This is almost always caused by worn rollers, a dirty track, or both. The door panel may also be sitting unevenly in the frame, putting extra pressure on the bottom rail.

🔈

Grinding or Scraping Sounds

Metal-on-metal scraping when you slide the door means the rollers have worn through their bearings or the track has developed rough spots from corrosion. Continuing to force the door open in this condition causes further damage to both the rollers and the track.

🔒

Door Will Not Lock or Seal

When the door does not close flush against the frame, the lock cannot engage properly. You may notice a gap at the bottom, a draft coming through, or rain leaking in during storms. This usually points to alignment issues, worn weatherstripping, or a shifted door frame.

Thorough Inspection

What We Check on Every Service Call

We never take a shortcut on diagnostics. When our technician arrives at your home, they inspect the complete sliding door system from top to bottom. That means checking every component that affects how your door operates, not just the part that seems to be causing the most obvious problem.

Here is what gets inspected on every sliding glass door repair call:

  • Rollers and wheels - We check for flat spots, corrosion, debris buildup, and bearing failure. Worn rollers are replaced with premium-grade components.
  • Track condition - We inspect for bends, dents, corrosion, and debris accumulation. Tracks are cleaned or replaced depending on their condition.
  • Door alignment - We verify that the door panel sits level in the frame and adjusts the height screws as needed for a proper fit.
  • Lock and handle mechanism - We test the lock engagement, check the latch alignment, and inspect the handle for cracks or looseness.
  • Weatherstripping and seals - We look for worn, torn, or compressed weatherstripping that allows air and water to pass through.
  • Glass panel condition - We check for cracks, chips, seal failure (foggy glass), and overall panel integrity.
  • Frame and threshold - We examine the door frame for warping, shifting, or damage that could affect operation.

Built for South Florida

Why Sliding Doors Fail Faster in Broward County

South Florida is one of the toughest environments in the country for sliding glass doors. The combination of heat, humidity, salt air, and heavy rain creates conditions that accelerate wear on every component of your door system.

Homes near the coast in Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Deerfield Beach deal with salt air corrosion that eats through standard steel rollers and hardware in just a few years. Even homes further inland in Pembroke Pines, Sunrise, and Weston face humidity levels that cause metal tracks to oxidize, seals to deteriorate, and mold to grow in the track channels.

That is exactly why we stock stainless steel and polymer-coated hardware specifically designed for coastal and tropical environments. Standard parts from a hardware store will not hold up in Broward County. The rollers, tracks, and locks we install are rated for salt exposure, high humidity, and heavy use. They cost a little more upfront, but they last significantly longer and perform better than off-the-shelf alternatives.

We also educate our customers on simple maintenance habits that extend the life of their repairs. A quick track wipe-down once a month and a silicone spray on the rollers twice a year can prevent most common problems from developing in the first place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sliding Glass Door Repair FAQs

How much does sliding glass door repair cost in Broward County?

The cost depends on the specific issue and parts needed. Simple roller replacements typically start around $150 to $250 per door, while more complex repairs involving track replacement or glass work may cost more. We provide free on-site estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins. There are never hidden fees or surprise charges.

How long does a sliding glass door repair take?

Most repairs are completed in one to two hours during a single visit. Our technicians carry a full inventory of parts on their service vehicles, so there is rarely a need to order parts or schedule a return trip. More complex repairs involving glass replacement or multiple components may take a bit longer, but we will give you a time estimate before we start.

Can you repair my sliding door the same day I call?

Yes. We offer same-day service across Broward County. With four locations in Hallandale Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Pembroke Pines, and Sunrise, we can often have a technician at your door within hours of your call. Same-day availability depends on current scheduling, so calling early in the day gives you the best chance.

Do you repair all brands of sliding glass doors?

Yes. Our technicians are trained to work on all major sliding door brands and styles, including PGT, CGI, Fleetwood, Milgard, Andersen, Pella, and many others. We service standard aluminum-frame sliders, vinyl doors, and impact-rated systems. No matter what brand or style of sliding door you have, we can repair it.
