Tilt and Slide Patio Door Repairs

A tilt and slide patio door that are well-designed and functional brings fresh air and light into the home and permits easy movement from indoors to outdoors. Modern aluminium doors offer strength and durability as well as thermal integrity, and a range of glass options that offer a wide variety of aesthetics.

Dirty tracks and rollers are the most common reason for sliding door issues. Cleaning and Lubricating these moving parts regularly can keep your door functioning correctly.

Track and Roller Replacement

The track and rollers are essential for sliding doors to function. They are located at the bottom of a door made of aluminum and are seated on a raised track which guides them when they open and close. Over time, dirt can cause the tracks to get blocked and cause the rollers to be damaged. Keep your patio door clean and lubricated to avoid these issues.

Unless your track is severely bent, it is usually possible to repair the track and rollers without completely taking the door off. Get a helper and tilt the panel toward you to lift it off of the track at the bottom (Photo 3). It could take some effort to lift the panel since they are quite heavy. After removing the panel, lay it flat on sawhorses and inspect the rollers. If they're damaged replace them with a new roller assembly. You can adjust the rollers' height by turning the adjustment screws which are usually located in slots on the edges of the panel.

If the rollers appear to be in good shape they might just need to be cleaned and lubricated. Use a screwdriver to remove the rollers and wipe down each one with denatured alcohol. This will remove any dirt or grime that might be causing the resistance. After that, carefully place each roller back into its slot and fully retract it using the adjustment screw. And lastly, spray the rollers with silicone spray. This type of lubricant doesn't hold dirt like petroleum-based ones and will make your door glide smoothly.

After cleaning the rollers and installing them, you can reinstall the door and check it to ensure that the track is in alignment with the rollers and the doors are moving smoothly. If you experience any other problems, contact a local door dealer for assistance. Keep your doors clean and lubricated to prolong their lifespan and decrease the need to repair. We recommend a lubricant made of silicone since it does not attract dirt like WD-40. It is recommended to apply lubrication to your rollers and tracks at least once a month.

Insect Screen Replacement

Sliding patio door are great to maximize floor space, allow airflow and let in stunning panoramic views. However, they can be troublesome if the mechanism stops functioning or isn't working properly. The majority of sliding screen door issues are easy to fix. Dirty rollers caused by debris in the track or a wrinkly screen are typical causes but you can repair them by following these easy steps.

If your screen is looking sagging or wrinkled, you can put a 1x4 on each end of the frame to create an incline in the middle. This will help make the screen more rigid and straighten it.

Be sure to buy a replacement screen that is just a few inches larger than the frame opening in both directions. This will give you enough room to trim any excess. Finally make use of a spline roller tool to push the rubber spline's edge into the channel. Once you have done this, it is time to roll in the rest of your spline.

Adjusting the Panel

The tilt and slide mechanism allows you to open the patio doors more for ventilation while keeping your pets, children, and other household members away. Despite the convenience of the system, the doors tend to take more force than they are expected to and over time, this leads to more friction, crooked tracks or misalignments that can cause the door to fail. A quick detection and minor adjustments are often able to solve these problems, reducing the cost of replacing hardware.

The first step in adjusting a tilt and slide patio door is to take off the panel and set it on a flat work surface. After removing the panels make use of a screwdriver to remove the plastic caps from the holes of each adjuster. Once these are removed, the adjuster will be pulled out of its channel by using a long shaft screwdriver. Once the adjustable roller is removed from its channel, place it on a flat surface and clean it with rubbing alcohol or a stronger version such as denatured alcohol. This will eliminate any dirt that has caused the roller to resist and allow it to retract back into its channel after the process.

When you are reinstalling a moveable panel, align it with the frame and use the drill to drive the screws along the flange. Secure the flange tightly to the door's edge while making sure that the flaps are oriented correctly. Once the movable panels are in place apply silicone-based lubricant onto the top track block for the arm connector, the lead Bogie wheels and the slave Bogie wheels and replace the plastic hole cap.

Repeat the procedure for each of the other two panels that can be moved to restore their slide functionality. Install the flanges made of plastic. With a plastic adhesive, attach the jamb-side strip to the fixed panel. Attach the handle when the glue has dried, and check the smoothness of the process. If the issue persists then adjust the lead Bogie by taking it off cleaning it, then installing it with a silicone-based grease.
