"Fast communication response time and repair. Gus and Kevin were the two guys that arrived and had answered my questions politely and guided us on what they are planning to do today to fix the door when they looked at it and saw the problem areas. What looked like a complicated fix to me, both Gus and Kevin made it look like an easy fix, which visually tells a customer that they know what they're doing. Hoping I don't need to call them again because my sliding door issue was fixed and now it glides and locks so smoothly - but they are now added as my primary and only contact and recommendation to others if they need a similar issue resolved!"

"Michael, Owner of MGM was very responsive and helpful. Samuel, the guy he sent to do the work, was very nice and knowledgeable. I hired them to fix a leaking French door. The first fix didnâ t work, but they promptly came back and made it right. I recommend them."

"We decided to remodel our outdated bathroom, and McCormick Home Builders was a fantastic choice. Khaled and the team delivered high-quality work within the timeline and our budget. Every detail, from the tile work to the lighting, was beautifully done. They communicated well throughout, keeping us informed at every step, and the end result was truly a spa-like bathroom we can enjoy daily. We’d love to work with them again!"

Door Repair questions, answered by experts

A hollow core door has an average life expectancy of about 20 to 40 years, with most lasting 30 years before they need to be replaced. Doors that are well cared for can last on the longer end, as long as no severe damage occurs.

Providing regular maintenance to your sliding glass door is vital to keeping repairs to a minimum. You’ll want to vacuum the door’s track at least once a week to remove any dirt or pet hair buildup. Additionally, it’s best to lubricate the tracks monthly to ensure the door opens and closes smoothly. Don’t forget about the glass—cleaning the glass and frame once a week doesn’t stop repairs from being needed, but it does keep fingerprints and smudges at bay.

You can often fit a new door slab into an old frame as long as the frame’s in decent shape. The frame needs to be solid, square, and free of warping or rot. The new door has to match the old one in width, height, and thickness, and the hinge and knob placements need to line up or be adjusted carefully. However, if your frame is damaged, swapping just the door won’t cut it. In that case, replacing the entire unit would be the best move for a smooth, secure installation.

The decision to repair or replace a door depends on several factors, including the extent of the damage, the cost of the repair, and whether it's an interior or exterior door. A repair is often the best route for minor issues, such as problems with hardware like locks or hinges. However, for more significant damage—like a large hole, damage near the hardware, or any issue that prevents the door from closing or locking properly—replacement is a better investment, as these problems can compromise your home's security. It's also useful to consider the door's location. Damage to interior doors typically doesn't threaten security, so a repair or partial replacement can be a good way to save money. For exterior doors, damage can be a security risk, making a full replacement the safer option, especially if the door frame is also damaged. To determine the best course of action for your specific situation and budget, it is recommended to consult a door repair specialist or installer.

Generally, hinged French patio doors are considered more secure than sliding glass doors. French doors typically feature a more robust, solid frame that can support multi-point locking systems and deadbolts, securing the door at several points and making them harder to break into. In contrast, sliding doors often rely on a single lock and operate on tracks, which can be a security vulnerability. While you can add security bars and other features to enhance a sliding door's security, a well-made French door is often more secure on its own. Ultimately, the overall security of any patio door depends on the quality of its materials, the locking hardware, and proper installation.
