# Sliding Glass Door Repair > A sliding glass door that drags, jumps the track or won't lock is riding on two worn rollers the size of a coin — not a dead door. **Rollers rebuilt from $475, track and lock tuned, glass swapped from $198 — most doors gliding one-handed in a single visit.** **Free estimate · 4.9 · 473+ reviews** ## Which Part of a Sliding Glass Door Fails — the Door, or the Two Wheels Under It? A patio slider is a 150-lb panel riding on two steel or nylon rollers the size of a quarter. Grit in the track, pollen, pool-deck damp and a decade of deck traffic grind them flat — and the whole door feels finished. It isn't. The tempered glass, the frame and the panel stay yours; the glide gets rebuilt. Locks, latches, weatherstripping and fogged glass ride along on the same visit. - Heavy-duty rollers fitted and adjusted — from $475 ($535 with new wheels) - Track cleaned, straightened or replaced — $475 - Sliding door lock $175 · latch $115 · weatherstripping $175 - Foggy or broken slider glass — [tempered units from $198](/patio-door-glass-replacement-cost/) ## They Quoted a New Slider at $2,500–$4,500 — Did You Just Need Two Wheels? Door companies sell doors, so a dragging slider becomes a replacement conversation. The honest math: new rollers and a tuned track from $475, one visit, and the door your house came with glides like the day it was hung. Discontinued brand? Rollers are matched by wheel diameter, housing and load — not by the sticker on the frame. If a panel is truly finished, we'll say so in writing before anyone spends real money. - Roller rebuild from $475 — against $2,500+ for a new door - Any brand, including discontinued panels - Written quote before work starts — no surprises - Re-checked under load and locked before we leave ## How Sliding Glass Door Repair Works Door off, glide rebuilt, door on — checked under load. - **Call or Send a Video** — Describe the drag or send a clip — we arrive knowing the roller type to bring. - **Door Off, Wheels Out** — The panel lifts out; flat rollers and track damage show themselves immediately. - **Rollers & Track Rebuilt** — Heavy-duty rollers seated, track cleaned and straightened, lock and latch adjusted. - **Rehung & Load-Tested** — The door goes back on, glides one-handed, locks without lifting — 5-year warranty. ## How Much Does Sliding Glass Door Repair Cost?

Do we need a new door to satisfy the buyer?** A: No. Inspectors flag the symptom; the cause is worn rollers. From $475 and one visit the write-up clears without touching your closing date — and it costs less than the credit the buyer would ask for. **Q: My sliding door jumped the track and won't close. We can't leave the house open tonight — how fast can this happen?** A: That's a same-day securing call. We get the panel back on its track and locking first, then rebuild the rollers so it doesn't happen again. You sleep behind a locked door tonight. **Q: Three companies said nobody repairs these doors and quoted $3,000+ for a replacement. Is repair even a thing?** A: It's our whole business. Companies that sell doors see every problem as a door sale. Rollers from $475 — your glass, your frame, and about $2,500 staying in your pocket. **Q: Our slider is an original from the '90s and the brand is long gone. Can you even get rollers for it?** A: Yes — rollers are matched by wheel diameter, housing and load, not by the logo. Discontinued sliders are most of what we see; the truck carries the common patterns and the rest we source. Repair from $475 either way. **Q: The glass in our slider is foggy between the panes. Same visit?** A: Yes. A fogged sealed unit swaps out for a new tempered unit from $198 while the door is off for rollers — one trip, one written sheet. The patio door glass cost page has the size breakdown. **Q: Where do you work?** A: Charlotte, Greensboro and Raleigh with their metros — pick your city below.
