Etobicoke is roughly a 15-minute run from our Mississauga shop — less if a technician is already in the area — so a truck is usually on site the same day.
Emergency board-up, security and make-safe first — permanent repair scheduled after.
Broken patio door glass in Etobicoke
A cracked or shattered pane is the patio door call we get most. The frame, rollers and lock are usually fine, so only the glass unit is replaced — in the door you already have.
Made safe first
After a break-in we come out overnight — to The Kingsway, Mimico or anywhere else in Etobicoke — clear the glass and board up the opening so the house can be locked. A crack that still holds waits for a daytime visit.Measured for a new unit
Patio door glass is tempered, usually a double-glazed sealed unit. The new one is made to your panel's size, with Low-E and gas fill if the original had them.Fitted into your existing panel
One visit to measure, one to fit. With the panel out, we check the rollers and weatherstrip too.Don't slide a cracked panel: tempered glass can break all at once. Keep it closed and call us.
Aluminum or vinyl — what the frame changes about a patio door repair in Etobicoke
Most sliding patio doors in Etobicoke houses have either an aluminum frame or a vinyl one. The parts that wear out are the same kind of part on both. The frame decides how those parts are adjusted, which of them wear out first, and at what point the door is no longer worth repairing.
Fix a dragging or sticking patio door in Etobicoke
After a break-in, or if the door will not lock or the glass is broken, call 800-522-6825 — the line is answered 24 hours and we come out overnight to board it up. For a door that drags, grinds, jumps the track, drafts or has fogged between the panes, tell us what it is doing, whether the frame is aluminum or vinyl, and whereabouts in Etobicoke you are. A photo of the bottom corner of the sliding panel helps us bring the right rollers.
Common questions about patio door repair
Why is my sliding patio door so hard to open?
There are usually three causes, and you can check the first one yourself. Grit and debris in the track make the rollers climb over it, so vacuum the track and wipe it before anything else. If the door still drags, the rollers are worn or have been adjusted too low, and the panel is resting on the frame. If it only drags at one end, the frame or the house has settled and the panel is no longer square in the opening. Adjusting the rollers can deal with a small amount of that.
Can you replace the rollers on a patio door?
Yes, and it is one of the most common patio door repairs we do. The sliding panel is lifted out of the frame, the old rollers are taken out of the bottom rail, and rollers of the right size and weight rating are fitted. The panel then goes back in and is adjusted until it runs level. Rollers are not universal, because each make of door uses its own housing. The make or series of your door, or a photo of the old roller, helps us bring the right part.
My patio door keeps coming off the track. What is wrong?
Usually one of the rollers has broken or dropped, so that corner of the panel no longer sits on the rail. Less often, the rail itself is dented or worn flat, and the roller can ride over the damaged spot. Stop using the door until it has been looked at. A heavy glass panel that is off its track can fall out of the opening.
