01 · Why it fits your work

The work order is already yours.

A resident writes in: the patio door is hard to open, it grinds, it won’t lock. You go take a look, and the usual move is to call a vendor and wait.

With the guide you know what to do: the five-minute diagnosis, which roller to order, and the steps we use on every job, including the tricks for stuck screws and heavy panels, and when it really is a job for a specialist.

I came from marketing and learned this trade from zero. Today sliding doors are all we fix at Mr Door Pro, in Orlando: 286 paid jobs in the last 12 months and 160 Google reviews with a 5.0 rating. I wrote down exactly how we do each job.

04 · Inside the guide

Ten chapters. Every step we use on real jobs.

  1. How a sliding glass door works

    The parts and their names, so you find the problem and order the right thing.

  2. The five-minute diagnosis

    Know what’s wrong with the door before you order a part or call anyone.

  3. The ten-minute fixes

    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.

  4. Replacing the rollers

    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.

  5. Fixing the track

    Straighten a bent track or cap a worn one. The Track Shift keeps the doors in the opening.

  6. Locks, latches and handles

    The X-Ray Lock Check finds why a lock won’t catch, and the fix takes minutes. Plus broken handles.

  7. Weatherstripping and screen doors

    Stop drafts, water and bugs, and fix the screen that falls out.

  8. When to call a pro

    The cases where a small fix turns into broken glass, so you walk away in time.

  9. Turn it into extra income

    What we charge for each job, the tool kit, and how we find customers.

  10. Checklists

    Printable lists for the diagnosis and the parts to order, and the Keep-It-Gliding Routine.

Questions
Will it cover the doors in our units?

Standard sliding glass doors: aluminum or vinyl frames with rollers at the bottom. Hurricane (impact) doors are much heavier and built differently: the guide shows how they differ, and when to leave them to a pro.

What tools do I need?

Mostly what’s already in the shop: screwdrivers, pliers, a putty knife and a vacuum. The guide lists every tool and part we use.

Where do I get the rollers?

Send us photos and measurements of the old roller: the roller check comes free with the guide, and we tell you exactly which part to order and where.

What if I get stuck on a door?

Ask the AI repair assistant that comes with the guide (the link comes with it), any time, or send it a photo of the part. Want a person on the line? Add a Guided Repair: a technician joins you on a 20-minute video call during that repair ($197 each).

Can our property buy it for the whole team?

Each guide is for one person’s use. For a team, write to us at diy@mrdoorpro.com.

How do I get it?

It’s a digital guide you read on your phone or computer, with checklists you can print. It arrives by email right after you pay.

What if it doesn’t work?

If a door doesn’t slide smoothly after you follow the guide, write to us within 30 days and we refund every dollar.
