15-second price summary
Rollers, tracks, locks, tempered glass and full door replacement prices. Watch the 15-second breakdown, then read the full detail below.
A sliding glass door that drags, sticks, or will not lock is almost always a roller or track problem — not a door that needs replacing. San Diego Window Repairs restores smooth, safe operation to patio doors across the county for a fraction of replacement cost.
Rollers, tracks, and locks
Worn rollers are the most common cause of a dragging slider. We replace roller assemblies, clean and realign tracks, and replace locks and latches so the door glides and secures properly.
Glass replacement for patio doors
Sliding door glass must be tempered safety glass by code. We replace broken door glass with exact-size tempered units rated for the opening.
Coastal wear and tear
Salt air accelerates track and hardware corrosion near the beach. We can upgrade to corrosion-resistant rollers and hardware for coastal homes in Pacific Beach, Ocean Beach, and La Jolla.

Frequently asked questions
Can a dragging sliding door be repaired?
Almost always, yes. Replacing worn rollers or cleaning and realigning the track restores smooth operation without a new door.
Why is patio door glass more expensive?
Patio doors require tempered safety glass, which is thicker and cannot be cut on site.
Do you upgrade locks and security?
Yes. We install patio locks, pin locks, and upgraded mortise locks to improve ground-floor security.
