Should I replace my jamming sliding door or get it repaired?

We find that most sliding doors can be repaired. In fact, most sliding door repairs are so successful that our clients wonder why they did not get the sliding door repaired much earlier. However when excessive rot or corrosion are present replacement may sometimes be the only option.

How long do sliding door repairs take?

The average time for a sliding door repair is about two to three hours.

A typical sliding door repair is, to first remove the side panel, then remove the door followed by the removal of the bottom rail of the door. The worn carriages and rollers can then be removed.

Clean up the bottom rail and then fit the correct new door rollers and door carriages.

The door is then refitted to the track and adjusted to be square in the frame and align with the lock. Put back the fixed panel. We usually use new fasteners where appropriate.

Should I get my sliding door repairs done by an expert or do it myself?

For good results on fixing anything, an expert is much more likely to give you the result you want as opposed to DIY or Handyman services.

You should use an expert to carry out all your repairs no matter what they are.

In the end, it will cost you less, and you will not have the hassles or time inconvenience. You are better off doing the things you love.

Door repairs are no different.

DIY and the local handyman is very often the cause of a lot of the problems associated with the door repair in the first place because they have no training.

Always remember that an expert is best suited to do the repair because he/she has training and experience, and is part of the network of repairs to do that particular fix.

I know the rollers are worn out in my sliding door, but the track is in really bad condition. It is worn flat in some parts, and there are metal chips and filings around the track. Are you able to repair this sliding door and track?

Yes, we can fix your sliding door because we carry many different sliding door tracks and one will be suitable for your sliding door repair.

The frame at the top of the door seems to have dropped down a bit, and the door is scrapping, and we can’t open it because it’s rubbing all the time can this be fixed with a door repair?

If the lentil has dropped a little over the sliding door, we may need to trim the top or bottom of the door to give enough clearance so that the door does not scrape.

My door is old, it’s about 40 years old, and I really would like a sliding door repair that works, can I get this sliding door repaired or do we have to buy a new door?

Even if your door is old, we can repair any type or age of sliding doors.

The front Sliding door of our house won’t close properly, and the lock won’t line up properly. We had a handyman do a sliding door repair, but it did not last. After a few weeks, the side of the door started to come away from the glass when I opened it. Can this be fixed?

This is a very common problem. When the handyman did your sliding door repair he snapped the head off the fastener at the bottom of the door and was not able to remove the body of the fastener so that when he put it back together he was not able to screw the side onto the bottom plate so when you pull on the side of the door to close it comes away from the glass. We can fix this for you because we can remove that broken fastener.

Our sliding door is so noisy, my neighbours upstairs complained about the noise, and they said I needed a sliding door repair. Can you fix this so that it slides quietly because I don’t want to upset my neighbour?

Some sliding door rollers that have tires are worn out completely, and the inner ball bearing is running on the sliding door track which causes the noise. We can replace the rollers and carriages and use durable nylon tires on the door rollers. This will make the sliding door run quietly.

I called a local builder to do a sliding door repair, and he said that he could not fix it because he would not be able to get the door out. Since you are an expert would you be able to repair it?

Sliding door repairs can be difficult in some circumstances when it is difficult to remove the door. However, I do not recall a time when we were not able to remove the sliding door.

We have a restaurant in Bondi with six big sliding doors, and when we go to lock up the doors at night we have a big problem closing & locking the door would you have the sliding door rollers for these doors.

The door rollers will be at the top or bottom of the door. Either way, we can do a sliding door repair to your restaurant.

I have a cavity sliding door between the kitchen & the dining room, and it is impossible to move I think the top roller is broken can that be replaced?

Most cavity sliding door repairs involve the adjustment or replacement of the top rollers, but sometimes the track may be damaged or pitted and therefore require replacement.

Our sliding stacker doors work better now than they did when they were installed 10 years ago! Thanks to Stephen and Jessie for prompt and very professional service repair. We've already had one repair and the door had broken again. This time it's been fixed properly, with stainless steel wheels instead of plastic. Slides like a dream. Would recommend. :)

Adsafe Doors was a professional sliding door repairer who focused on sliding door track and roller. Stephen knew how to fix up a typical ageing door with good rollers (4 rollers to spread the load of the sliding door instead of 2 rollers) and steel track. I could use the door with just one finger after the repair. Thanks.

From the first enquiry phone call to my waving the Adsafe team off after completion of the job I felt confident and happy that I’d chosen the right company to fix my ageing door. Stephen and Jess did a wonderful job, and I’m happy I can use the door with just one finger. Thank you!!

From the first over phone discussion to the job completion Steve and Jess did a fantastic job. Our 50 year old difficult to open sliding door operates now better than a new door. I would recommended Adsafe Doors to repair your sliding doors.

Stephen and Jessie performed a miracle here. A heavy sliding glass door which had dropped so low it scraped along the floor causing an ear-piercing screech. Now it glides silently along its track at the touch of one finger! Professional duo with a lovely friendly rapport, I can't recommend these two highly enough. Thank you both so much, I feel extremely lucky to have found you.

Contacted this company originally via their online site - they did not respond. I called them a week or so later - spoke to Stephen. He gave me a quote over the phone - no issues and we discussed what may or may not need to be done. He called me on a Sunday - confirmed possible works - gave him an address - we booked job in. Job was planned for tomorrow ( Nov 2023). Stephen called me just now - " sorry - my guys dont want to travel that far to your suburb" - we cannot do the job now for that reason. I'm an hour from North Parramatta - their company address. So this comany - good or bad - cannot respond to their own website traffic without a prompt - then after confirming the job - cancel the day before - because an hour is too far to travel. We live in Sydney - everywhere is an hour. I'll let you draw your own conclusion. I wish I could give no stars. 2/2 - I can get to Parramatta most times in an hour - its a pain - but its do able. Google maps says to your address to mine 1hr 8min. My review is accurate and you called me & accepted the work. Dont accept the work if you cannot do it or dont want to travel to do it. Its no prob anyway - I replaced the rollers myself for less than $50 - and the doors work fine again.

Had sliding door runners that had self destructed due to sandy backyard. Door was extremely difficult to move. Contacted Stephen to describe the problem out at Kingsford. Quote and convenient date and time organised. Stephen rang that morning, was running a little early, no problem. Had enough time to secure my 2 dogs. Requested him when accessing our property to semi secure the side gate so our dogs couldn't escape. Stephen explained the process, replaced the original poor quality minimal door runners, with what looked like heavy duty multiple runners. Door is now opening and closing with minimal effort. Cleaned up worksite, including vacuuming the aluminium shards off the ground, from adapting and correcting the door running guide. Really happy with Stephen's and helper pleasant demeanour. Very happy to recommend. Allan

We had a very hard to close sliding door that had been in situ for 12 years. It took a huge heave to open the door and we thought would have to replace the entire door and track. We called Steve and within a few days he came out to fix our door. Once Steve had finished we could open the sliding door with our little finger - the result was truly remarkable! We couldn't recommend the Adsafe Doors service highly enough.Thanks Steve !

Steven and partner came today and fixed a glass sliding door that had become difficult to open. Explained what they would need to do, and put in double rollers as opposed to the single rollers already in the door. Laid a new track - door opens without effort now - perfect. And Steven kindly fixed the noise issue with the crimsafe door as well.

Needed both hands to open & close our 30 year old doors, the glass & flyscreen sliding doors we very hard to operate. After comparing costs for replacing doors and frame or calling in the repair experts decided to go with the experts in Steve. Called and told him the problem, Steve gave a quote over the phone and arranged to attended site in a few days. Steve and his apprentice worked their magic in under 2 hours, I fair dinkum cannot believe the difference they have done. Boths doors can be slid the whole lenght of opening by one finger, it's even better than when the door was brand new. You will not be disappointed with this company and would highly recommend.

Contacted Adsafe Doors to repair sliding glass door. Was quoted $800 over the phone. I asked a few questions about the price, how long does it take and cost of parts. He refused stated that it was a phone quote and he does not supply that information. He then was very rude when I questioned why he could not supply an invoice stating the labour and parts cost. I said any repair work, you are usually given a cost for labour and parts. He denied that this ever happens, continued to be rude. He could not guarantee that the door would be fixed, he would not come out and look at the door for a service fee. Something I was willing to pay. He continued to be rude. I have since had my door repaired including everything that Adsafe were going to do for $500. New rollers (not made in China) which is what Adsafe said was all I could get if I employed someone else or went to Bunnings. Track machined and new one installed. All that Adsafe said they would do for $300 less. As a customer I expect that if spending $800 I am entitled to know my door will work properly, that I am given an invoice with parts and labour costs and that my questions are answered in a polite manner. Very poor customer service and not honest with their quotes. Update on Adsafe Doors. Received a further reply today after so many weeks. Just to be clear, Adsafe will only quote you prices over the phone. They do not come out to even look at your doors. They have a one price $800 that fits all jobs. I can only comment on my experience with this company. My sliding doors were repaired for $500 compared to the $800 Adsafe were going to charge. If you need sliding doors fixed save yourself money and ring the Sliding Door Doctor. Excellent service, prompt, friendly and very professional. My doors slide beautifully. I would not ring anyone else but the Sliding Door Doctor. Save yourself $300.

Fabulous customer service and arrived on time. Our sliding door was noisy and hard to open. The rollers at the bottom of the door were no longer working. They were quite tricky to remove and replace but for Stephen and Jess it was all in a days work. Extremely professional and would highly recommend this company. Thank you Mark and Jo - Kellyville

Wanting to thank Steve and team for the excellent service I received for my heavy, broken sliding door. The communication was great, they arrived on time and replaced the door frame tracks, realigned the door itself and fixed the locking mechanism in 1.5hrs. Amazing! Highly recommend this business and would definitely be calling on them again if we had any other problems. Thankyou.

Bit more expensive than what I was expecting. But the door is now better than what it was new. So silent and smooth. Feels like a much more expensive door than what it is. So very happy with the outcome. Would recommend to anyone. Job was done very quickly and professionally.

Should be 10 stars. Brilliant service from Stephen and Jessie. Our stacker door was not rolling very well. Stephen and Jessie fixed it so well that it is like a brand new door. Their customer service is fantastic. It is great to see an honest and reliable company. When you have sliding door concerns Adsafe is the company to call.

Our 25 year old glass sliding door had collapsed in its tracks and required urgent surgery. A phone call to Stephen at Adsafe Doors soon had help on its way. Over the phone Stephen gave an accurate estimate and set up an appointment. Stephen and Jessie arrived right on time and got to work straight away. Quickly and expertly the door was removed, a new track was laid and new rollers installed. The door was then replaced on the tracks, fine adjustments carefully performed and the locking mechanism aligned. Then to complete the job Jessie conducted a complete clean up and no mess was left . Now the old door slides like a new one and the lock works perfectly. We have no hesitation in recommending this experienced team of workers.

I have this old aluminium sliding glass door. After years of repairs and never lasted long. Today I called around 4 companies, no-one was helpful. One company stated minimum $4,200 + per job or above if I accept they would send a person to come and measure. I finally got to Stephen on my 5th call, he took the time to understand my situation and given me options to considered. He suggested instead of replacing the whole door and glass unit, let's see if he could fix it instead. Stephen came as he promised and he fixed my door beautifully with absolute pride in his work. The best of it - the cost only a fraction of what others company have quoted me. THANK YOU Stephen and Jessie.

Our sliding door at home had been broken for months and got so bad, it worked better completely off of it's sliding tracks. But after getting in contact with Adsafe Doors, Stephen and Jessie were to the rescue by the following afternoon. They were both incredibly friendly, efficient and had the door back on and working very quickly. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of sliding door repairs :)

I had a sliding door that refused to slide and a sliding security door that constantly came off its track. Stephen from Adsafe came out, fixed both doors and charged less than the original quote! I now have two doors that slide easily and a security door that provides security! Not only was the work completed quickly and professionally, but Stephen also rang to advise me that he was going to be a little later than the agreed time, due to traffic. Thanks for the excellent job and professional service.

We are so pleased with the repair done by Stephen to our sliding door. It would barely move before (and wouldn't lock) and was hanging lopsided, to now sliding perfectly. So pleased with this service. It is better than ever. The whole service from the first phone call where Stephen recommended ways to secure our place until he could repair the door to cleaning up properly before leaving was exceptional. We highly recommend Adsafe.
