Sliding door repair on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane

A cavity sliding door hangs from rollers that run in a track hidden inside the wall. When one comes off its rail, it's usually because a roller has worn, a hanger bolt has worked loose, or the door has been pushed hard against something on the floor. A door left hanging at an angle can bend the track or crack the plaster around the cavity, so it pays to get it fixed early.

Most cavity repairs are done from the doorway. We take off the door stops or head trim, lift the door out, and replace the rollers or adjust the hangers so it sits level and stops drifting. If the track itself has bent or dropped, we may need to open a small section of plasterboard to reach it, then patch and paint it so you can't tell we were there. A cavity door that had come off its rail is one of the jobs customers have left us reviews for.

Wardrobe sliders have their own problems: snapped bottom guides, doors that drift open, and heavy mirrored doors jumping out of the top track. Aluminium patio doors usually grind because the bottom rollers have flattened or the track is packed with grit and sand, which is common in coastal homes from Paradise Point to Burleigh. We replace rollers and guides, clean and realign tracks, and set the doors to meet the frame evenly. Cracked or broken glass is a job for a glazier, and we'll tell you if you need one.
