Common Problems We Fix
Sliding screen doors rarely fail all at once; they gradually become harder to use. Here’s what we repair every day in Ottawa homes:
- Door dragging or scraping: If your door scrapes along the bottom track, the rollers are often worn or set too low.
- Door hard to slide: When sliding takes effort, the rollers may have flat spots or seized bearings.
- Door jumps off the track: If it keeps popping out, alignment or worn wheels are normally the cause.
- Door wobbles or feels crooked: This often indicates a roller height imbalance or a loose frame.
- Door won’t close: Misalignment or roller wear can prevent proper latch engagement.
- Rollers grind: Noise is a sign that the wheels are deteriorating.
- Track bent, dented, or worn down: Damage to the channel can stop new rollers from sliding smoothly.
Ottawa winters, especially salt, grit, and freeze-thaw cycles, can accelerate roller wear and track damage. We can help fix your sliding screen door fast.

What Causes a Sliding Screen Door to Stick or Pop Off Track?
Most issues stem from a few common causes.
Worn Rollers or Flat Spots
Sliding screen door rollers wear down over time. When the wheel surface flattens or cracks, it no longer rolls; it drags. That’s when your screen door won’t slide smoothly anymore.
Bent Track or Dented Channel
If the bottom track is bent or compressed, the wheel can’t move. Even a small dent can cause repeated derailment.
Loose Frame or Corner Joints
If the door frame loosens, the structure shifts. That shift can push the rollers out of alignment, causing wobbling.
Misalignment from Settling
Homes naturally settle over time. Even a slight shift in the patio door frame can affect screen door alignment.
Debris Buildup
Sand, pet hair, leaves, and compacted dirt clog the channel. It causes resistance and accelerates water, preventing the sliding screen door roller from moving.
DIY Lubrication Mistakes
Heavy oils attract dust and create a sticky buildup. If your door became harder to slide after spraying lubricant, this could be why.
Our Repair Process
When you book a sliding screen door roller & track repair in Ottawa, here’s what you can expect:
- Full Inspection: We check the rollers, bottom track, frame corners, latch alignment, and top guide.
- Track Cleaning & Assessment: We remove debris and inspect the channel for dents or wear.
- Roller Replacement or Adjustment: We match the correct roller size and type, no guesswork.
- Door Realignment: We adjust height and balance to eliminate wobble and dragging.
- Smooth Operation Testing: We test for proper slide, secure track seating, and correct latch function.
We aim for smooth, quiet operation, no forcing, no wobble, no jumping off track. Our service vehicles are equipped to complete most repairs in one visit.
Roller Replacement vs Track Repair - What You Actually Need
Many homeowners assume the entire door needs to be replaced. In most cases, it doesn’t.
When Rollers Are the Problem (Most Common)
If your screen door is dragging on the track or is hard to slide, worn rollers can be the culprit. Replacing them often restores the movement.
When the Track Is the Problem
If the track is bent, dented, or worn through, new rollers alone won’t fix it. In those cases, we perform screen door track repair that Ottawa homeowners can rely on.
When It's an Alignment Issue
Sometimes the door frame sits slightly out of square. A professional adjustment can correct the issue without replacing parts.
If the frame is bent beyond repair, we’ll tell you up front. Only honest advice without unnecessary repairs.
