Doors in Dubai work hard. Sliding balcony doors fill with sand, timber doors swell and shrink with the humidity, and hinges drop under heavy solid-core doors. We fix sticking, dropping and sliding doors, replace locks and handles and repair garage doors, usually in one visit.

Sliding balcony doors are the most common door repair in Dubai apartments. Fine sand collects in the bottom track, wears the rollers and makes the door heavy and noisy. Cleaning the track and fitting new rollers usually makes it glide like new.
Timber doors move with the seasons. In humid months they swell and rub; in dry months gaps appear. Planing, sealing the edges and adjusting the hinges keeps them working all year. Heavy solid-core villa doors also drop on their hinges over time.

Tools and Materials
Replacement rollers for aluminium and uPVC sliding doors. Stainless bearings resist sand and humidity. The door glides smoothly again.
Ball-bearing hinges rated for solid-core doors. They stop doors dropping. They run quietly for years.
Overhead and concealed closers that close doors gently. Speed and latching force are adjustable. They suit entrance and fire doors.
Sealer applied to planed door edges. It stops timber absorbing moisture. Doors stay stable through humid months.

A sliding door that sticks, jumps off its track, grinds, will not lock or lets in dust and hot air needs attention. In Dubai, sand in the bottom track and worn rollers are the most common causes.
Most sliding doors can be repaired by cleaning the track, replacing rollers, adjusting the frame and renewing seals. Replacement is only needed if the frame is bent, corroded or the glass unit has failed.
