  • Sliding Glass Door Repair (Lock Issue) Parkland Florida


    Lock not catching

    This job was in Broward County (Parkland, Florida).

    Sometimes you may think the lock on a sliding glass door is broken, or that the door just needs adjustment—but that was not the case here.

    The track was damaged, and the door was not moving properly.

    In this particular sliding glass door, there was no issue with the lock.

    Once we installed a snap-on track cover and replaced the rollers, the sliding glass door was properly aligned and balanced again.

  • Deadbolt (Sliding Glass Door)

    Deadbolt

    A deadbolt is a great idea as an additional lock for a sliding glass door. It can be installed either on the top or the bottom of the door.

    These locks are very practical and are among the best deadbolt options for sliding doors. There are different types—some use a simple hook, while others use a pin that goes inside the door, which requires drilling a hole. This older pin-style lock is not recommended and was commonly used many years ago.

    The extra lock is mainly for added peace of mind and improved child safety. We know that if someone really wants to break the glass, even ten deadbolts won’t stop them—but having one extra lock is still a good safety measure.

    Hurricane sliding glass door handles are very unique.

    They come in a variety of shapes and typically in three colors: black, bronze, and white. Finding the correct handle can be tricky because many of them look the same but must be 100% compatible to properly fit your door.

    Our professionals can source the correct handle through multiple suppliers, saving you time and frustration.

    Here is a local supplier where you can find a variety of hurricane handles. https://wpwfl.com/contact-us/

  • Hurricane Lock and Latch Replacement & Repair


    In hurricane locks, the lock bolt is especially prone to damage.
    When the bolt becomes worn or broken, it is no longer long enough to properly engage the main lock or strike. In many cases, the internal mechanism where the mounting screw secures the bolt also becomes damaged. When this happens, repair is no longer reliable and the entire lock assembly must be replaced.

    Slightly simpler version (for customers)


    Hurricane locks often fail at the lock bolt. When the bolt breaks or wears down, it cannot fully catch the lock, and the internal screw mount may also be damaged. In these cases, replacement is required rather than repair.
