About Andersen Gliding Doors
Andersen is one of the best-known window and door makers in the country, and its gliding patio doors show up in Central Florida homes of every age. Andersen sells several product lines, from vinyl-clad and composite doors to wood-interior doors with exterior cladding, and many of them look similar from inside the house. The good news is that the parts that wear out, the rollers, locks, and weatherstripping, are serviceable on most of them.
Common Andersen Patio Door Problems
- Door drags or is hard to slide because the rollers have worn or dropped
- Lock does not line up with the strike after the door settles
- Weatherstripping worn or torn, causing drafts and water at the sill
- Handle wear and loose or broken handle sets
- Moisture at the sill on wood-interior doors, which needs attention before it damages the wood
Adjustment Versus Replacement
Many Andersen gliding doors have roller adjustment points on the panel edge or bottom, so a door that has settled can sometimes be raised and leveled without new parts. We always try that first. If the rollers themselves are worn, flat-spotted, or the bearings are rough, adjustment will not last, and we replace them. We then set the door level so it seals evenly against the weatherstripping and the lock meets its strike cleanly.
