Grinding or scraping sound
Metal-on-metal noise means the rollers are riding on a pitted or corroded rail instead of a smooth surface.

What is stainless steel track capping?
A track cap is a precision-formed stainless steel rail that fits directly over your damaged aluminum track. The rollers ride on a brand-new, corrosion-proof surface — without removing the door frame, cutting stucco, or replacing the door.

- •Stainless steel won't pit or corrode in salt air
- •Paired with new heavy-duty rollers so the whole system is new where it matters
- •Done in one visit — the door is back in service the same day
Is your track the problem?
Signs your sliding door track needs repair
Bumpy, jerky travel
You feel the door 'thump' over flat spots and dents in the track every time it slides.
Visible pitting or rust
Salt air eats aluminum tracks. Once the surface is pitted, no amount of cleaning or lubricant brings it back.
Rollers wearing out fast
If you've replaced rollers and the door drags again within a year, the track is destroying them.
Bent or dented rail
A bent section lifts the panel off level, wears rollers unevenly and can let the door jump the track.
Door was fine, now it's not
Tracks wear gradually. Most homeowners don't notice until the door needs two hands — or a shoulder — to move.

South Florida sliding door repair FAQs
- What is stainless steel track capping?
- Track capping (also called a track sleeve or track cover) is a precision-formed stainless steel rail that fits over your damaged aluminum track. It gives the rollers a brand-new, corrosion-proof surface to ride on — without removing the door frame or touching the stucco.
- Does my sliding door track need repair or full replacement?
- Almost always repair. A pitted, bumpy or corroded track can be capped with stainless steel for a fraction of the cost of ripping out the frame. Full track replacement is only needed when the sill itself is structurally damaged, which is rare.
- How much does sliding door track repair cost?
- Most track repairs and stainless track caps run $99–$375 per panel, including new rollers when needed. Compare that to $3,000+ for a full door replacement. You get a firm quote on site before any work starts.
- Why do my new rollers keep wearing out?
- Because the track is the real problem. New rollers on a pitted or corroded track get chewed up within a season. Capping the track first is what makes a roller replacement actually last.
- How long does track repair take?
- Most track repairs and caps are completed in a single visit, usually one to two hours per door. The door is back in service the same day.
- Will a track cap work on my door?
- Stainless caps fit the vast majority of residential sliding glass doors in South Florida, including older aluminum-frame sliders common in Broward and Palm Beach homes. We confirm the fit on site before starting.
