What causes patio door problems in Richmond homes
A sliding patio door rides on small rollers hidden in the bottom of the panel. Over time the wheels flatten or crack, and the door starts to drag, scrape or jump. The usual fix is a sliding door roller replacement, often with a clean and adjustment of the track.
When a door drops on worn rollers, the latch no longer lines up with the keeper, so it will not lock. We adjust the rollers first and then the latch. If the lock itself is worn, that is a patio door lock repair. A door that rattles in the wind usually needs new weather stripping.
We see these jobs everywhere in Richmond: townhomes around Bridgeport in the north, and family homes in the London/Princess and BC Packers areas that the City maps in its Steveston Area Plan. Balcony and patio doors in all of them get heavy use.
Sliding patio door repair in Richmond before replacement
A new patio door is a big expense, and most sliding doors do not need one. New rollers, a straightened track and fresh weather stripping can make an old door glide again. We only suggest replacement when the frame has rotted or the glass unit has failed; for glass, see sliding door glass replacement.
Patio doors often go on the same visit as a garage door. If yours needs attention too, ask us to look at both, or start with garage door repair. Screens that keep coming off are covered under sliding screen door repair.

Patio door repair questions in Richmond
What Richmond homeowners ask about sliding doors. Not sure what you need? Send us a photo.
Why is my sliding patio door so hard to open?
Usually the rollers are worn or the track is full of grit. Vacuum the track first; if it still drags, the rollers need replacing.
Can you fix a patio door that will not lock?
Yes. Most of the time the door has dropped and the latch no longer meets the keeper. Adjusting the rollers and the keeper sorts it.
Do you replace sliding door handles?
Yes. See sliding door handle replacement.
Can I adjust the rollers myself?
On many doors there are adjustment screws at the bottom corners. If the door is heavy or the screws will not turn, it is safer to call us.
