Hollywood may run more original mid-century sliding doors than any city in Broward — the Lakes, the Hills and Boulevard Heights are full of 1950s–70s panels still rolling on their first hardware. Those doors are gold: frames extruded heavier than anything at today's big-box price, waiting only for matched rollers, a stainless cap over the pitted track and a lock that finally catches. We restore Hollywood's originals daily, service the Broadwalk's salt-worn balcony doors with association logistics included, and bring same-day priority to any door that won't secure for the night.
Signs your sliding door needs repair
- The door takes two hands (or a shoulder) to open or close
- It grinds, scrapes, or screeches along the track
- The door jumps, wobbles, or catches at the same spot every time
- You can see daylight, or feel warm air leaking, around the closed panel
- The latch no longer lines up, so the door won't lock securely
What a repair visit includes
- Full diagnosis of rollers, track, alignment, lock and weatherstripping — not just the symptom you called about
- Removal of the panel and replacement of worn rollers where needed
- Track cleaning, dressing, or stainless-steel capping for pitted rails
- Realignment and height adjustment so the panel sits square and latches cleanly
- Lubrication with the correct silicone products — never grease, which traps sand
