"Jamie Garcia of JAMIE’S HOME REPAIR, is an ultimate professional. Stucco, eaves, painting, etc. It seems there’s nothing he can’t do. I would definitely recommend him for any project."
"I had two people come out that could not repair my sliding glass door. I initially understood; it is over 30 years old. Near Me Sliding Door (Juda), came out and came up with this idea (thought outside the box) and my door works perfectly. I am very happy with their work and their honesty."
"I received a great quality job for Felipe’s repair of the termite damage above my bathroom window! What I appreciated about Felipe’s approach was he was willing to brainstorm a few options with me. 5 stars!"
"Tony and crew were great. The appropriate door was installed beautifully and the fence was fixed better than new. They were prompt, work was done quickly and thoroughly. We are also having him quote on doing our bathrooms and floors. In the quote process he gave recommendations to improve what we want done. This is intended to be a great recommendation."
"Jose did an excellent job. Gave me different options for repairing the door. He even found another issue with my door that he repaired. Jose is very nice, pleasant, courteous. I will continue to use him for other handyman-type jobs going forward. Highly recommended."
First thing first: Make sure you’re using the right key. If it’s the correct key for your lock, there are a few reasons why it may not be working, like the key is worn out or the lock is jammed. Try lubricating the lock and pushing the door closed to ensure the mechanisms work correctly. If you’re still locked out, call in for help.
Lower your door as much as possible by turning the roller adjuster screws counterclockwise—located at the base of your door in a covered hole. With more space between the track and door, lifting it off its track should be easier.
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 fix a door frame without replacing the whole door by repairing the impacted areas with wood filler, patching, or replacing components. You’ll need to uninstall your door to repair the frame and then reinstall it once you’ve completed the repair. However, if your door frame has severe structural damage, it might be more economical and safe to replace the entire door.
The cost to repair a door can range from $50 to $700, depending on how complicated the repair is. Repairing a sagging door handle is definitely on the lower end of that scale. If you hire a pro to fix the handle, the bulk of your repair cost will go toward their labor, but you can also bundle this job with other small hardware-related tasks to get the most bang for your buck.
