Aluminium door repairs Centurion

Most sliding door repairs cost R450 to R950 for new rollers and a track service, with lock replacements running R450 to R1,200. A full service of a stacking door with new hardware can reach R3,500. Repair is almost always far cheaper than replacing the door.

Worn rollers are the cause in the vast majority of cases — the nylon wheels flatten or seize, and the door starts dragging on the track. Replacing the rollers and cleaning the track restores smooth, one-hand operation. Don’t keep forcing it: that damages the track itself.

Yes — handles, latches, cylinder locks, and even multi-point locking mechanisms are all replaceable parts. The pro matches the hardware to your door profile. If parts for a very old profile are discontinued, a retrofit lock kit usually solves it. Vetted pros working in and around Centurion quote jobs like this every week, so sharing photos upfront gets you an accurate price fast.

Cleaning and lubricating the track is safe DIY. Anything requiring the door to come off its rollers is a pro job — glazed doors are heavy, and dropped glass is dangerous and expensive. Roller replacement is quick and affordable for a professional with the right tools.

Glass in doors must be safety glass that complies with SANS glazing standards, so replacement is a glazier’s job rather than a general handyman repair. A handyman can handle all the hardware around it — rollers, locks, seals, and alignment. Pros serving Centurion handle exactly this kind of job regularly — describe it to Jess and you’ll have vetted quotes in no time.
