Tilt and Slide Patio Door Repairs

A well-functioning tilt and slide patio door brings fresh air, light and a smooth transition between indoors and outdoors. Modern aluminum doors offer toughness and durability, thermal integrity and a variety of glass options that offer an array of styles.

One of the most frequent problems with sliding doors is the dirty tracks and rollers. Regularly cleaning and lubricating moving parts can help keep your sliding door in good working in good working order.

Track and Roller Replacement

The track and rollers are crucial for sliding doors to function. They are located at the bottom of a door panel made of aluminum and are seated on a track that allows them to move when they open and close. Over time, dirt in the tracks could cause them to get blocked. This could lead to the rollers becoming damaged. Keeping your patio door clean and well-lubricated can prevent these problems.

It is possible to fix your rollers and track, in the event that the track is badly bent. You can ask a friend to help you lift the panel off the track by bending it towards you (Photo 3). It might require some effort to lift the panel as they are heavy. Once the panel is removed place it flat on sawhorses, then examine the rollers. Replace them if they are damaged by a new roller set. You can alter the rollers' height by turning the adjustment screws, which are typically found in slots that are located along the edges of the panel.

If the rollers are in good shape they might require to be cleaned or lubricated. Remove the rollers with a screwdriver and wash them with denatured alcohol. This will remove any dirt or grime that might be causing the resistance. After carefully putting each roller into its slot and then fully retract it using the adjustment screw. Then, lubricate the wheels by spraying them with silicone. This type of lubricant doesn't collect dirt like petroleum-based products and Misty will let your door move smoothly.

After cleaning and reinstalling the rollers, you can test and reinstall the door to make sure that the track is aligned correctly with the rollers. Also, make sure that the doors move smoothly. Contact a local dealer if require assistance. Keep your doors clean and lubricated to prolong their lifespan and reduce the need for repair. We recommend a silicone lubricant since it does not attract dirt like WD-40. It is recommended to grease your tracks and rollers at least once a month.

Replace insect screens

Sliding patio doors are great for maximizing the floor space, allowing airflow and allowing beautiful views. They can however become problematic if the mechanism is not functioning properly or has stopped completely. Fortunately, most issues with sliding screen doors can be easily fixed. Dirty rollers from debris in the track or a wrinkly screen are common culprits but you can repair patio door them by following these simple steps.

If your screen is sagging or wrinkling, you should first place the frame on a flat work surface and slide a 1x4 block underneath each end to put some slight bows in the middle. This will allow you to pull the screen tighter and straighten it.

Choose a screen that's at least 2 inches larger in both directions than the opening of the frame. You'll be able to reduce any excess. Then you can use a spline roll tool to push the rubber spline's end into the channel. After you've done this, it is time to insert the remainder of your spline.

Adjusting the Panel

In contrast to traditional sliding doors that open by turning the handle, tilt and slide patio door mechanisms allow you to keep the doors open to let air circulate while keeping your children, cats or dogs away from your home. Despite the convenience of this system, the doors tend to take more force than anticipated and over time, this leads to more friction, crooked tracks or misalignments which could cause the door to fail. Finding these issues early and making small adjustments can often resolve these issues, reducing the need for costly replacement hardware.

The first step to adjust a tilt-and slide patio door is removing the panel. Place it on an even surface. After removing the panels use a screwdriver and remove the plastic caps from the holes of each adjuster. Once the plastic caps are removed, make use of a long shafted screwdriver to coax the adjuster out of its channel. Once the adjustable roller is removed and placed on a flat surface, then clean it with rubbing alcohol or a stronger alternative such as denatured alcohol. This will eliminate any dirt that causes the roller to become resistant and let it easily retract back into its channel after the process.

When you reinstall the moving panel in its frame and employ a drill to drive in the screws along the flange. The flange must be securely secured to the door's edge while making sure the flaps are properly positioned. After the movable panel has been put in position, apply a blob of silicone-based lubricant to the top track arm connector block as well as the lead Bogie wheel, and the slave Bogie wheel, and then replace the plastic caps on holes.

Repeat the process for the other two panels that can be moved to restore their slide function. Reinstall the flanges made of plastic. Finally, attach the jamb side strip onto its equivalent fixed panel with a plastic adhesive. Once the glue is dry then reattach the handle and check for smooth operation. If you find any issues, adjust the lead Bogie wheel again by removing it from its channel, cleaning and installing it again with a small amount of silicone-based grease.
