Why Does My Sliding Door Keep Coming Off the Track?
Usually worn rollers, a bent track or a door that's out of adjustment. Don't keep forcing it back on — the glass panel is heavy.
The common causes
A door that keeps jumping off is a safety issue — a sliding panel can weigh well over 100 pounds. If it has come off, stop using it and don't try to lift it alone.
- •Rollers worn flat or broken
- •A dented or bent bottom track
- •Rollers set too low after the house settled
- •Debris built up in the track
What it costs: $99–$375 per panel for standard repairs
On a standard residential sliding glass door, our repairs run $99–$375 per panel depending on the parts and labor involved. The estimate is free and you get the price before any work starts.
Impact doors need an on-site estimate
Impact-rated (hurricane) sliding doors are a different job. The panels are much heavier because of the laminated glass, the rollers and tracks are often brand-specific, and the frames are built to strict Florida code. Two impact doors that look the same can need very different parts and labor.
That's why we don't quote impact doors over the phone. We come out, look at the door, check the brand, the panel weight, the track and the rollers, and then give you an exact price. The on-site estimate is free.
