Tor-Rated Sliding Glass Door Repair Clearwater, FL

When there is a cracked panel, it presents two problems, one with the Florida Building Code and the second with safety. After the broken glass is removed, we will then inspect the frame of the door and install a code-compliant replacement glass, an impact-resistant, coastal, Clearwater-rated panel that will withstand wind speeds in excess of 140 mph and prevent any air and/or water from entering the building through the door during storms. Typically, a single-panel job will be completed in one visit; however, if a complete replacement is necessary, the sliding patio door will open horizontally and contain a minimum of one panel.

Worn rollers are the top cause of sticking sliders in Clearwater. Salt air corrodes the bearings; dirt and debris from Gulf storms jam the housing. Adjusting the roller screws can temporarily lift or lower the door, but once bearings are shot, replacement is the only fix. We carry PGT WinGuard-compatible wheels and standard residential sizes—a standard two-panel door done in under 90 minutes.

Vacuuming the track and applying WD-40 provides maintenance for small amounts of buildup; however, after an excessive amount of time, if a worn roller continues grinding on the aluminum rail, it will cause structural damage. Resurfacing or replacing damaged areas of the track with a stainless steel cap allows for new rollers to ride on a clean surface. Tracks can be resurfaced or completely replaced depending on the level of wear.

A door that cannot securely lock shut is a major security concern. Heat and frame movement cause the strike plate to become misaligned with the way the lock catches the strike plate. Our technicians will re-shim hardware and/or replace worn-out cartridges and test under load conditions to ensure a secure lock. We can repair your locks for enhanced security and give you peace of mind by ensuring that your door latches correctly every time.

Residents of Clearwater enjoy utilizing their lanais at all times of the year, which means that they use and abuse their lanai screen doors also. The high volume of Florida insects, the salt air from the Gulf, and the constant foot traffic cause the mesh to deteriorate rapidly. We replace torn screens, bent frames, roller replacements, and any screen door/frame that has come off its track. We also offer pet-resistant mesh to customers that have to replace their screens a minimum of once every season.

Just like patio door hardware, shower door components suffer the same corrosion — Pinellas County hard water leaves mineral deposits on the glass over time, hinges seize up, and rollers stop working properly.  We offer installation and repairs for all types of semi-framed and framed doors. During our installation we can replace any panels, adjust the hardware, and reseal so that they are clean, flush, and watertight.
