You probably don’t need a new door. Most doors that feel broken only need a clean track, new rollers or a ten-minute adjustment, and most of the time the door never leaves its track. Not one more random video: every step we use on real jobs, from a company that only fixes sliding doors.

Written by Mr Door Pro, a sliding door repair company in Orlando, Florida.
We’re Mr Door Pro, a sliding door repair company in Orlando. Fixing sliding doors is all we do: 286 paid jobs in the last 12 months and 160 Google reviews with a 5.0 rating.
People outside our area find our guides and ask us to come fix their doors. We can’t: we only work in Central Florida, and we don’t want to grow by opening branches in other states.
So we wrote down exactly how we do it, and we’re offering it to the rest of the country for less than the cost of a service call.

Every job in the guide, and what a technician charges for it
A technician, for all of it
Today, with the guide
10 chapters, printable checklists, our real price list and the 30-day guarantee. Every guide comes with a free roller check: send us photos and measurements of your old roller and we tell you exactly which one to buy.
Want more help? Right after you buy, you can add text help for 7 days ($97) or a Guided Repair: a 20-minute video call with a technician during one repair ($197 each). Or have your exact rollers shipped: the $59 Roller Kit.
If your door doesn’t slide smoothly after you follow the guide, write to us within 30 days and we refund every dollar.
These are the tricks of a technician who fixes sliding doors alone, in people’s homes.
A video shows one door, one way. This guide is the whole sequence we use on every job: how to find what’s wrong, which part to buy, the tricks for stuck screws and heavy panels, and when to stop and call a pro. Plus a free roller check by photo, and your money back if it doesn’t work.
Most of the time it never leaves its track. Our Stay-Put Roller Swap changes the rollers with the door standing right where it is.
Every method in the guide is made for one person, the way Davi works on most jobs. A second pair of hands helps, but you don’t need one. The exception is hurricane (impact) doors: they need two people.
Almost everyone does. It helps for a day, then it works like glue: it holds the sand that wears your rollers down, and it makes the repair messier. The guide shows what we use instead.
Usually the easiest fix of all. Our X-Ray Lock Check shows you exactly why it won’t catch, and the fix takes a screwdriver. Technicians charge $120 to $150 for it.
A noisy door drives everyone crazy, and it is usually one small part rubbing at the top. Our Squeak Stop finds it and quiets it in minutes.
Send us photos and measurements of your old roller. We tell you exactly which one to buy, free with the guide.
Even on doors from the ’70s and ’80s, there is always a roller that replaces the old one. Our free roller check finds it for you.
Our Stuck-Screw Sequence: four tricks, in the order we use them on real jobs, for stripped and rusted screws.
Start with the Ten-Minute Fixes: for many doors, that is all it takes. Every step is in plain words, with checklists. Stuck? Add help from our technician, by text or video.
Your door glides again, or your money back. Write to us within 30 days.
The parts and their names, so you find the problem and buy the right thing.
Know what’s wrong with your door before you spend a dollar.
Clean, lubricate and adjust the right way, with the $3 tool we clean tracks with, plus the Squeak Stop for a noisy door. It’s enough for many doors.
The Stay-Put Roller Swap: most of the time with the door in its track, by yourself. How to measure and order the right roller, and the Stuck-Screw Sequence.
Straighten a bent track or cap a worn one. The Track Shift keeps the doors in the opening.
The X-Ray Lock Check finds why a lock won’t catch, and the fix takes minutes (technicians charge $120 to $150 for it). Plus broken handles.
Stop drafts, water and bugs, and fix the screen that falls out.
The cases where a small fix turns into broken glass, so you stop in time.
Our real prices, the tool kit, and how we find customers.
Printable lists for the diagnosis and the parts to order, and the Keep-It-Gliding Routine: ten minutes every few months so your door doesn’t break again.
It covers the standard sliding glass doors in most US homes: aluminum or vinyl frames with rollers at the bottom. Chapter 8 tells you when a door needs a pro.
Mostly screwdrivers, pliers, a putty knife and a vacuum. The guide lists every tool and part.
Often, yes, and without taking the doors out: our Track Shift frees the worn track while the doors stay in the opening. Chapter 5 shows how to straighten a bent track or put a cap on a worn one.
Chapter 8 tells you exactly when to stop and call a pro, before a small fix turns into broken glass.
Those panels are much heavier and built differently. The guide shows how they come out, with two people and suction lifters, and when a pro makes more sense.
It’s a digital guide you read on your phone or computer, with checklists you can print.
A bonus with the guide: an assistant you can ask about your door at any time, built on this guide and on how we repair doors every week. Its link comes in the same email as your guide.
Yes. Right after you buy, you can add text help from a Mr Door Pro technician for 7 days ($97), or a Guided Repair: a 20-minute video call where he looks at your door with you during one repair ($197 each).
Send us photos and measurements of your old roller: the roller check comes free with the guide, and we tell you exactly which part to buy and where. Rather skip the store? Our Roller Kit ships your exact rollers to your door for $59, and if they don’t fit, we send the right ones free. With text or video help, we stay with you until the door works.
