Tilt & Slide patio door repairs

Quality repair services

Tilt & Slide doors have complex internal mechanisms, so heavy usage, wear and tear and damage can lead to problems quite easily. Patio doors are heavy and need to move freely along a precision track which can be damaged with dirt and debris over time, making the doors feel heavy, jerky, or completely stuck. We specialise in tilt and slide doors and can repair and re-calibrate mechanisms to get them sliding freely and operating properly again.

As UPVC repair experts, we have years of experience dealing with the intricate drive gear systems that allow the doors to tilt for ventilation, and it is common for the rollers or bogie units to need professional attention.

With large glass windows in particular, security is paramount, so we place extra emphasis on the locking integrity of tilt and slide doors. Being locksmiths by trade, we are experts in the sort of multi-point locking bars and heavy duty handles that are commonly seen on tilt and slide units.

When things start to show early signs of malfunction, swift attention and regular maintenance doesn’t just make the door easier to use, but it can ensure that they keep going for years and years.

Safety tip: if your door is difficult to move, please stop using it. Forcing a misaligned tilt & slide mechanism can cause more damage, and even damage to the glass – in some cases even causing it to shatter. If in doubt, give Poppy Locks a call.
