Sliding Door Hard to Open
Likely cause: Sand in the bottom track and worn rollers.
What we do: Track cleaned, rollers replaced and the door height adjusted.
Door Repair in Dubai
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.

Door Repairs for Dubai Apartments and Villas
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.
For sliding windows with the same track issues, see window repair in Dubai. For new handles and hinges, see door hardware installation, and for custom doors, custom carpentry in Dubai.
