Before: rusted, seized sliding patio door rollers packed with debris — Before

After: new stainless tandem roller assembly seated in a clean sliding door track — After

Example 1 — Seized Patio Door Rollers

Illustrative example · Miami-Dade service area

The problem: An 8-ft patio door took two hands and a shoulder to move. The original steel rollers had rusted solid and were dragging in the track.
The repair: Panel lifted out, tandem stainless rollers installed, height calibrated on both stiles. Door now glides with one finger.

Before: dented and corroded aluminum sliding door floor track full of grit — Before

After: straight stainless steel track cap installed under a clean sliding glass door — After

Example 2 — Bent & Corroded Bottom Track

Illustrative example · Broward service area

The problem: A dented, pitted aluminum track kept chewing through replacement rollers and let the panel jump off its guide.
The repair: Track straightened, deep-cleaned and finished with a stainless cap-over so new rollers ride on a hard, smooth surface.

Before: sliding patio screen door with a large torn hole in the mesh — Before

After: rescreened sliding patio doors with taut dark mesh in a straight frame — After

Example 3 — Torn Sliding Screen Door

Illustrative example · Miami-Dade service area

The problem: Mesh was torn through at pet height and the screen frame corner had pulled apart, so the door would not stay in the track.
The repair: Frame re-squared and re-cornered, then rescreened with heavy pet-resistant mesh and fresh screen rollers.

Before: cracked and rust-stained sliding door latch on a corroded white frame — Before

After: new keyed sliding door lock and handle hardware on a clean white frame — After

Example 4 — Failed Lock & Handle Set

Illustrative example · Broward service area

The problem: Salt-air corrosion had cracked the handle and frozen the mortise lock — the door closed but could not be secured.
The repair: New keyed lock, mortise cylinder and matching handle set installed, with the keeper re-shimmed for full latch engagement.

Before: brittle peeling weather stripping falling out of a sliding door frame — Before

After: new flexible weather stripping and brush sweep sealing a sliding door frame — After

Example 5 — Brittle Weather Seals

Illustrative example · Miami-Dade service area

The problem: Daylight showed through the interlock and wind-driven rain reached the tile during storms. Weatherstripping had gone brittle and fallen out.
The repair: Jamb, interlock and sweep seals replaced with flexible marine-grade stripping, then the panel was re-pitched for even contact.
