Common Problems We Fix

Stuck or Jammed

Door won't budge? We fix jammed doors fast—usually debris, worn wheels, or track damage.

Off Track

Door come off the runner? We realign and secure it back on track for smooth gliding.

Won't Close Properly

Door not closing or locking? We adjust rollers, tracks, and locks for a secure seal.

Hard to Slide

Requires excessive force? Worn wheels, dirty tracks, or misalignment—we fix them all.

Noisy or Grinding

Grinding or squeaking sounds? Usually worn rollers or damaged tracks—we restore quiet operation.

Worn Wheels

Wheels and rollers wear out over time. We replace them with quality parts.

Sliding Door Replacement, Locks & Handles

When the fix is bigger than wheels and tracks, we do that too.

Sliding Door Replacement

Some doors are past repair: a bent or corroded frame, glass that has failed, or a system so old that parts are no longer made. When that is the case we replace the whole sliding door, not just the parts.

  • Aluminium sliding door replacement, made to the size of your existing opening
  • Glass sliding door replacement with toughened safety glass
  • Single doors, double sliders and full patio stacking sets
  • Old steel or wooden sliding doors replaced with aluminium
  • We remove the old door and fit the new one, usually in one visit

We tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense, and quote both when it is close. See our made-to-order sliding doors

Locks, Handles & Latches

A sliding door that will not lock is a security problem, not just an annoyance. We repair and replace:

  • Sliding door lock replacement: hook locks, mortice locks and key-operated locks
  • Aluminium door lock repair and re-alignment so the hook and keep line up again
  • Sliding door handles, latches and catches
  • Folding and stacking door locks and flush bolts
  • Pivot and hinged aluminium door locks, handles and closers

Most lock and handle jobs are finished on the first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, we replace both! "Wheels" and "rollers" are often used interchangeably—sliding door wheels are the round components that roll along the track, while roller assemblies include the wheel and its housing. We carry a range of replacement wheels and rollers to fit most aluminium sliding door brands.

Absolutely. Doors come off the track due to worn guides, damaged runners, or bent tracks. We'll realign your door, replace any damaged track or runner sections, and adjust the rollers so the door glides smoothly and securely.

Yes, we service pivot doors including pivot hinge adjustment, floor spring repairs, and alignment for both glass and aluminium pivot doors. If your pivot door is sagging, sticking, or not closing properly, we can diagnose and fix the issue.

We offer same-day repairs for most common issues like stuck doors, worn wheels, and track problems. After assessing your door, we'll provide a quote and often complete the repair on the spot. For parts that need ordering, we'll give you a clear timeline.

We service all areas across Johannesburg and greater Gauteng, including residential homes, commercial buildings, and shopfronts. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.

Yes. If the frame is bent or corroded, the glass has failed, or parts for an old system are no longer available, we replace the complete sliding door with a new aluminium door made to the size of your existing opening. We tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement is the better option, and quote both when it is close.

Yes. We replace and repair sliding door locks (hook locks, mortice locks and key-operated locks), handles, latches and catches, and we re-align locks so the hook and keep line up again. We also do locks and flush bolts on folding and stacking doors, and locks, handles and closers on pivot and hinged aluminium doors. Most lock and handle jobs are finished on the first visit.

It depends on the type of door and the wheels it takes, so we assess the door on site and give you a firm quote before any work starts. There is no obligation. Because worn wheels are the most common sliding door fault, we carry the usual sizes with us and most wheel replacements are done on the same visit.

Yes. We replace rollers, hinges, guides and tracks on folding (bi-fold) doors and stacking doors, and re-align the panels so they fold and stack smoothly again.
