We will explain how we do our sliding door track repairs and compare the correct service with the incorrect service of your door.
Our sliding door repairs, Sydney, offer real track replacement solutions. The correct service uses stainless-steel track capping to replace the worn track completely.

Twin bogie rollers will save your tracks
In the last couple of decades of our door repairs, Sydney has recently seen newer types of sliding doors. Heavier multi-stacking and double-glazed sliding doors have become common.
We use only twin bogies rollers in our sliding door repairs.
These rollers are the only realistic option for heavier doors and the only realistic option for saving the tracks they run on.
The four rollers in twin bogie rollers will better distribute the weight of heavier sliding doors over the track.
Precision-cutting in sliding door repairs
What we discovered in sliding door repairs: Sydney. Many tracks were available for installation; however, the correct service to install them was missing. This is why we developed the precision cutting process.
Precision-cutting worn tracks is the only realistic way to install track cappings on sliding doors without stretching the capping. Stretched track cappings will cause the rollers and tracks not to fit correctly.
The precision cutting process in our sliding door repairs demonstrates our unmatched technical skills.
The correct process to repair sliding door tracks
The sliding door track repairs begin with cutting the 5.0 millimeters worn track. We precision cut the worn track to 2.0 millimeters. This allows the quarter-inch (6.32mm) stainless steel track capping to fit perfectly over the worn track.
The stainless-steel track capping is installed using polymer adhesives and clamped, resulting in a diameter of 5.5 millimeters. This diameter is necessary to repair sliding door tracks correctly.
The sliding door track must be about this diameter for the rollers and tracks to fit correctly.
The new tracks in the correct service are cross-sections of real-life tracks. Not all sliding door tracks appear like the one seen.
Other sliding door track shapes include bull noses, cascades, Dupont, ogees, and waterfall edges. We can precision-cut every track, allowing us to fix sliding door tracks in all sliding doors.
Why the correct process to repair sliding door tracks is so important
We frequently find sliding doors not serviced by us, where the replaced rollers and tracks fail only after 12 months.
The leading cause of the failure of these doors is the rollers and tracks not fitting together.
This failure is seen below in the faulty service, where only the edges of the rollers were contacting the track.
The edges of the rollers cracked and splintered, causing fragments of the roller to fall onto the bottom track.
The rollers degenerated, causing the door to fall from the track and become unusable.
If your sliding door tracks were replaced incorrectly, two creases running down the length of the new track capping would be noticeable shortly after the faulty repair. This indicates that the edges of the rollers are running on top of the track, causing the track to crease.
Why replace the tracks and not reshape them?
Examining the worn track shows that sanding tracks cannot achieve the rounded edges necessary for the rollers to marry into, so sanding tracks is unrealistic.
Machining and reshaping sliding door tracks with sandpaper has been offered as a service. So why is it offered as a service? The answer is in the details of the offer. You cannot machine and reshape sliding door tracks with sandpaper.
