How Often Should You Service Your Doors?

We recommend a professional maintenance visit every 6–12 months for residential sliding doors. Homes near the coast or in high-humidity areas (like much of Central Florida) benefit from more frequent service to prevent salt and moisture buildup from degrading hardware.

The Cost of Skipping Maintenance

A worn roller left unchecked can damage your track, turning a $150 roller replacement into a $600+ track repair. A quick maintenance visit catches these issues early and keeps your door running smoothly for years longer.

What Happens During a Visit

A technician inspects the full door system, tracks, rollers, locks, seals, and frame, cleans out accumulated sand and debris from the track channel, lubricates moving parts with a dry, non-attracting lubricant, adjusts alignment if the door has started to drift, and flags anything that's wearing down before it becomes a bigger repair. Most visits take 30-45 minutes per door.

Not All Doors Need the Same Schedule

A door on the coast in Cocoa Beach or Cape Canaveral genuinely needs service more often than the same door 40 miles inland, salt air corrosion doesn't wait for a calendar reminder. Doors that get heavy daily use, like a main patio access, also wear faster than a rarely-used guest room slider. We'll recommend an interval based on your specific door and location, not a blanket rule.
