Recent Ottawa patio door repairs: rollers, tracks and seals repaired, often the same day.
Many homes in Morgan’s Grant and Kanata Lakes have large sliding patio doors, often 6 or 8 feet wide, opening onto rear decks that get a lot of use. After 15 to 20 years, these doors usually have worn rollers, grit in the track and compressed seals.
A common problem is flat-spot roller wear: the wheel hasn’t cracked or seized, but it has worn flat where it carries the weight. A flat-spotted roller makes the door bump as it slides and can score the track, which then wears new rollers faster.
We source rollers matched to the patio door brands common in Kanata homes, including Pella, Andersen and JELD-WEN. Correct matching matters: a roller that is even slightly wrong in diameter or wheel width causes alignment problems that undo the repair.

Many Bridlewood homes date from the late 1980s, so their patio doors may be on their original or second set of rollers. At this age, a complete service usually makes sense: new matched rollers, a thorough track cleaning, new pile seals on the panel edges and interlock, and lock and handle service.
Older patio doors can also have fogged glass when the sealed units have failed. We check the glass on every call and can quote sealed-unit replacement alongside the mechanical repair.
Patio doors that take a lot of wind wear their pile seals faster, and the interlock between the fixed and sliding panels can start to let in cold air. We can fit heavier pile seals on these doors to improve the seal.
Some Kanata homes have hinged French patio doors instead of sliders, with two panels and a multipoint lock. Repairs on these doors usually involve hinge adjustment, multipoint lock service, and the astragal and weatherstripping, so the doors close and seal evenly.
Sticking, drafty, or won't latch? The sooner we look, the simpler — and cheaper — the fix.
