Tilt and slide door repairs Sheffield

We specialise in servicing and repairing tilt, slide doors, and tilt and turn windows.  We have been servicing and repairing these doors for over 25 years. In the 1980s-1990s, they were a trendy fit to the rear of many homes in Sheffield. They were often replacing old wooden and aluminium sliding patio doors. They were great; you could leave them on tilt to vent rooms, and they were still relatively secure. But time has passed, and they have seen better days.  If you need tilt and slide door repairs, Sheffield, continue reading for more information.

Standard tilt and slide door issues

Drive gear fail

A common problem with tilt-and-slide doors is when the drive gear fails. This is controlled by the handle and operates the locking points that run around the edge of the door. You will know this has happened when the handle turns freely or is stuck and does not open the door. Before you consider buying a new patio door contact us.

We can open the door and replace the faulty parts with new ones that work properly—all at an affordable price. The door will also receive a full service as part of the quote.

Worn-out top gliders

You may find that the door comes away at the top. This usually means the top “gliders” have worn out. You often won’t get any warning about this until you slide the door open one day, and the door falls inwards.

This can be quite dangerous for you or your family to be around. If you can, close the door safely and ring us immediately to fix the problem. The gliders are easily replaced, and the ones we use are of high quality and will last for many years.

Misaligned runners

Over time, the running gear on the bottom of the door called the “bottom bogey”, can fall out of alignment. In this case, it’s time for a complete comprehensive service of the bottom bogey.  Sometimes, the springs that help to close the door break.  Once more, we can replace the faulty parts with new ones to ensure your door slides smoothly.
