Sliding Glass Door Repair in Clairemont

Clairemont was San Diego's biggest postwar subdivision, started around 1950, and most of its single-story homes still have the aluminum patio door they were built with. Those doors are now 60 to 70 years old, the rollers under them gave up long ago, and that is why Clairemont homeowners call.

Homes and sliding doors in Clairemont

Clairemont's tracts went up from about 1950 through the 1960s across Bay Park, Bay Ho, North Clairemont and Clairemont Mesa, and the typical house is a single-story ranch with one wide aluminum slider from the kitchen or living room to the backyard. Those doors are the classic 1950s and 1960s aluminum type with single or tandem steel rollers on an aluminum track, and most have never had the rollers changed. The repair is steel ball-bearing tandem rollers and a stainless track cap over the grooved track. Apartment and condo complexes along Clairemont Mesa Boulevard, Balboa Avenue and Genesee Avenue add balcony sliders and plenty of turnover work for property managers.

Clairemont questions

Our Clairemont house is from 1958 and the slider still has its original rollers. Should we replace the door?

No, replace the rollers. The 1950s aluminum doors in Clairemont have heavy glass and a frame that is usually still square. Steel tandem rollers sized for the door and a stainless track cap over the worn aluminum track give you a smooth, light slide for a fraction of the cost of a new door and without touching the stucco or the opening.

What does the metal dust on my Clairemont patio door track mean?

It means the steel roller wheels have stopped turning and are grinding against the aluminum track, shaving metal off both. Left alone the track gets a groove and the panel drops until the lock misses the keeper. New steel ball-bearing rollers stop the grinding, and a stainless track cap covers the groove so the new wheels run on a flat surface.

Can you fix the sliding closet doors in these Clairemont homes as well?

Yes. The same 1950s and 1960s houses have bypass closet doors, and in later remodels mirror doors, that jump their track or drag. We replace the top or bottom rollers, straighten or replace the track and reset the guides, usually on the same visit as the patio door. Closet door work is priced per opening on our pricing page.
