Call (954) 280-4413

We work on sliding doors that stick in the track, doors that let humidity bleed through worn seals, and doors that no longer slide at all. Salt air along Fort Lauderdale’s canals and coastline eats at rollers, tracks, and aluminum frames faster than most homeowners expect. That’s why we keep OEM parts for PGT, CGI, and ES Windows on our trucks, and why every installation carries both manufacturer warranty layers registered in writing before we leave your driveway.

Key takeaways:

• Most sliding glass and patio door repairs in Fort Lauderdale are done in one visit
• We service and install PGT, CGI, and ES Windows systems among more than a dozen manufacturer lines
• Every job is covered by our Done Right Promise and The Keystone Standard
• A live person answers the phone 24/7, not a voicemail tree
• Free estimates with side-by-side manufacturer quotes on paper

What Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Service Includes

Sliding Door Roller & Track Replacement

When a sliding door drags, grinds, or needs a hip-check to move, the rollers and track are almost always the culprits. Fort Lauderdale’s humid, salt-laden air corrodes steel roller bearings and aluminum tracks far faster than inland locations, and we regularly replace rollers that have seized completely in homes near Las Olas and Victoria Park. We measure the existing hardware, source the correct OEM or upgraded stainless steel replacement, and set the door so it glides with two fingers. If the track itself is scored or pitted beyond repair, we’ll quote a track replacement alongside the roller work so you know the full cost before we start.

Glass Panel Replacement

A fogged, cracked, or impact-compromised glass panel is more than an aesthetic problem in Fort Lauderdale, it is a security and code-compliance issue. We replace individual insulated glass units in sliding doors and patio door systems, matching the existing glass thickness, tint, and low-E coating so the repair disappears into the door. When the original manufacturer warranty still applies, we handle the claim and registration paperwork under The Keystone Standard, so both warranty layers are documented in writing. If the glass is original to a home built before current Miami-Dade and Broward impact standards, we will explain your replacement options honestly and quote compliant alternatives without pressure.

Full Sliding & Patio Door Installation

New sliding glass and patio doors in Fort Lauderdale must meet current wind-load and impact standards, and the difference between a compliant install and a shortcut job is in the measurements and the anchoring. Dale Kessler’s founding rule governs this work specifically: a door set even slightly out of true will bind, leak, and fail its frame seal within a few humid seasons. Our technicians measure every opening twice, check the rough opening for level and square before ordering, and register both manufacturer warranty layers before the truck leaves the driveway. We install PGT, CGI, ES Windows, and other lines, and we quote them side by side on paper so you see exactly what each manufacturer offers for your budget.

Track Alignment & Door Rehanging

Sometimes a sliding door has good glass and working hardware but still binds because the panel has settled out of alignment. This is common in Fort Lauderdale neighborhoods with older slab construction like Sailboat Bend and Tarpon River, where concrete shifts over decades. We realign the door panel, adjust the rollers to correct height, and confirm the lock engages properly before we call the job done. A rehanging takes less than a day and often restores a door that another company would have written off as a replacement. We will tell you plainly if a rehanging is not enough to save the door, and we will show you why.

Weather Sealing & Draft Repair

The space where a sliding door meets its frame is where Fort Lauderdale’s humidity wins most often. Worn or missing weatherstripping, failed corner seals, and bent thresholds let in rain during summer downpours and air-conditioned air escapes every day of the year. We replace weatherstripping with manufacturer-specified material, retrue the door if the seal failure came from misalignment, and test the repair with a water spray before we leave. A properly sealed door cuts your cooling bill, keeps out the salt air, and stops the musty smell that tells you moisture has been getting in unnoticed.

Brands We Service for Sliding Glass & Patio Doors

We are an authorized installer for PGT, and we have installed and serviced hundreds of PGT sliding glass and patio doors across Fort Lauderdale and Broward County. PGT’s impact-rated systems are among the most common doors in coastal South Florida, and we stock their OEM rollers, handles, and replacement hardware so most PGT repairs are completed in one visit. We know their vinyl and aluminum frame lines well enough to spot the difference between a manufacturer defect and installation error, which matters when the warranty claim is on the line.

CGI and ES Windows are high-end impact door manufacturers we install and service regularly in waterfront neighborhoods like Rio Vista and Harbor Beach. CGI doors are built to withstand extreme wind loads, and ES Windows are known for narrow frames and large glass panels that require precise shimming and anchoring. Whether you have PGT, CGI, ES Windows, CWS, or any other make, we can service it and provide honest guidance on repair versus replacement.

Signs You Need Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Right Now

• You have to lift or shove the door to open it. This is not a minor annoyance; it means the rollers have failed or the panel has dropped out of alignment. Forcing the door further damages the track, and the issue compounds quickly in Fort Lauderdale’s humidity. A repair now is cheaper than a full track replacement later.
• Fog between the glass panes will not wipe off. That fog is a failed seal between the insulated glass layers. The insulating gas is gone, the glass is compromised, and the only fix is replacing the insulated glass unit. A fogged door in a Fort Lauderdale home also tells you the door has been fighting humidity for years, and the frame seals may need attention too.
• Water pools on the floor after heavy rain. During summer storms, water should not get past a properly sealed sliding door threshold. If it does, the weatherstripping, the threshold, or the door’s level has failed. Left alone, that water wicks into the subfloor and into drywall, and mold follows in humid South Florida air.
• The lock no longer lines up or will not engage. This is a security issue as much as a convenience issue. A misaligned door is also a door that may not be seated correctly against its seals, which means air leaks and, in an impact event, a door that cannot perform as rated. If your lock will not throw, get the door checked before the next storm season.
• The door rattles on windy days or lets in drafts you can feel. A properly installed Fort Lauderdale sliding door does not rattle and does not leak air, even during a summer squall. Rattling means loose hardware, failing gaskets, or a gap somewhere in the frame. You are paying to cool the outdoors, and you are also feeling the early signs of a door that will leak when the wind pushes rain hard enough.

Our Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process - Step by Step

1. 1
   You call and a live person answers. No voicemail tree, no callback form, no regional call center. Call (954) 280-4413 any time of day or night and you will speak to someone who works for TruePane Windows & Doors in Fort Lauderdale. We take your address, ask what the door is doing, and schedule a time that works for you.
2. 2
   We measure twice before anything is ordered. On the first visit, a background-checked, uniformed technician inspects the door, measures the opening twice, and documents the condition of the frame, the track, the glass, and the existing hardware. We check the rough opening for level and square, because a new door installed into an out-of-square opening will never be right. If a repair will suffice, we tell you. If replacement is the honest answer, we show you why with measurements and photos.
3. 3
   You get side-by-side quotes on paper. We quote manufacturer lines side by side, not a single option with a take-it-or-leave-it number. You see the PGT price next to the CGI price next to the ES Windows price, each with the warranty terms stated in writing. The quote includes all labor, hardware, and clean-up. No surprise line items appear later, because the price we quote is the price we stand by.
4. 4
   Installation happens in one visit, with both warranty layers registered. Most sliding glass and patio door repairs are completed in a single visit. Full installations are scheduled for a specific day and we show up when we say we will, in uniform and prepared. When the job is done, we register both manufacturer warranty layers in writing under The Keystone Standard, and we walk you through exactly what is covered and for how long before the truck leaves the driveway.
5. 5
   We stand behind the work for 90 days, no arguing. If something is not done right, we make it right under our Done Right Promise. No paperwork fight, no fine print that covers neither. If the pane is not true, the job is not done, and we will return to make it true. If you have any issue after the 90 days, call the same number. We plan to be in Fort Lauderdale for another thirty years, and we answer our calls.
