🛠️ Our Sliding Door Repair Services in West Chester
We service all major brands and types of sliding glass doors found in the 45069 zip code area.
1. Roller & Wheel Replacement
The #1 reason doors stick is worn-out rollers. Heavy glass doors crush cheap plastic wheels over time.
-
The Fix: We lift the heavy door, remove the damaged rollers, and install high-precision, sealed-bearing steel or nylon rollers that can handle the weight.
2. Track Repair & Alignment
A bent or corroded track acts like a speed bump for your door.
-
The Fix: We install stainless steel track caps over damaged rails to create a smooth, rust-free surface. We also level the door to ensure it latches perfectly.
3. Lock & Handle Repair
Security is a priority. If your latch won’t engage or the handle is loose, your home is vulnerable.
-
The Fix: We repair or replace mortise locks, keepers, and handle sets to ensure your door snaps shut securely.
4. Weatherstripping & Draft Elimination
Feel a cold breeze in your living room? Worn “fuzzy” weather seals (pile weatherstripping) are likely the culprit.
-
The Fix: We replace rotted seals to improve energy efficiency and keep West Chester’s bugs and rain outside.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How much does sliding door repair cost in West Chester, OH?
A: Most repairs generally range between $150 and $400, depending on the severity of the track damage and the type of rollers needed. This is significantly cheaper than a full replacement, which can cost $2,000+.
Q: Can you fix the door without removing it?
A: For a proper repair, specifically roller replacement, the door panel usually must be removed. Our technicians are trained to safely lift heavy glass panels without damaging your floors or frame.
Q: Do you service the entire 45069 area?
A: Yes! We serve all of West Chester Township, including neighborhoods near Lakota West High School, Wetherington, and the Streets of West Chester.
Q: Why is my door hard to open when it gets hot/cold?
A: Ohio weather causes vinyl and aluminum frames to expand and contract. If your door has tight tolerances or dirt buildup, this movement can jam the door. We adjust the rollers to account for these seasonal changes.
Q: How long does a repair take?
A: Most standard repairs (rollers and track caps) are completed in 1 to 2 hours.
