North of Adams Avenue toward the canyon rim the houses are mostly 1920s bungalows, and the blocks south toward El Cajon Boulevard mix bungalows with 1920s apartment courts and larger apartment buildings from the 1950s through the 1970s. Almost none came with a sliding glass door; the slider was added in a 1960s or 1970s remodel or rear addition, and it is nearly always aluminum with steel rollers on a bare aluminum track that has grooved. The apartment buildings carry aluminum patio and balcony sliders that managers deal with at turnover. New steel tandem rollers, a stainless track cap and a fresh mortise lock cover most of the work here.

Normal Heights questions
Our 1925 Normal Heights bungalow has a slider that was added in the 1970s. Is it worth repairing?
Yes. The 1970s aluminum doors added to these bungalows have heavy glass and a simple frame that is usually still square, and parts are still made for them. New steel ball-bearing tandem rollers and a stainless track cap over the grooved track bring back a smooth slide for far less than a new door, and without disturbing the stucco or the original woodwork around the opening.
I rent in a Normal Heights apartment court and the patio door will not lock. Who fixes it, and what is wrong?
Your landlord or manager books the repair, and we work with many small owners in the neighborhood. The usual cause is a panel that has dropped on worn rollers so the lock hook misses the keeper, and the fix is new rollers plus a height adjustment. If the lock itself is broken, we replace the mortise lock and handle set on the same visit.
The slider on my Normal Heights house lets in canyon drafts and dust. Can that be sealed without replacing the door?
Usually yes. On older aluminum doors the pile weatherstrip along the panel edges and at the interlock flattens, and the panel drops on worn rollers, opening a gap at the top. We replace the weatherstrip, fit new rollers and reset the height so the panel seats evenly and the lock lines up. If the glass itself is fogged or cracked, that is a separate measured quote.
