The ceiling fan that clicks when you’re trying to get some sleep. Garage doors that grind every morning as you’re in a rush to work. The neighbour’s kids who are constantly yelling.
Can’t a guy just get some peace every now and then?
One thing that adds to all this cacophony is your sliding door. Nobody likes a sliding door that screeches and squeals open and closed. But luckily, sliding door noises can be easily fixed… unlike your neighbour’s noisy kids!
Here, We Fix Sliding Doors outline everything you need to know about sliding doors that make noise, and how we can help:
Different types of sliding door noise and what they likely mean
Like a bird watcher identifying the calls of different species, we first need to become an expert in knowing the different sliding door noises. Let’s get familiar with the different possible noises your door is making, and what they might mean:
- Screeching or squealing
A high-pitched screech or squeal indicates a problem with your rollers. Usually it means one or more of your rollers are jammed up, and it coincides with your door being very difficult to open.A technician from our team can sort you out in no time if you’ve got a screeching sliding door. We’ll remove the door, repair or replace the roller and get it back in action, pronto.
- Low whistling
Ever heard a quiet, low whistling coming from your sliding door when it’s in the closed position? This might indicate that there’s a gap somewhere in your sliding door, caused by misalignment. That sound is air passing through the door which isn’t ideal in summer or winter, causing your HVAC unit to work harder to maintain a consistent temperature.We Fix Sliding Doors will conduct a full-scale door alignment, adjusting your door where necessary and closing the gaps.
- Grinding
If the noise is more of a grinding sound when opening and closing your sliding door, it’s probably the track. Sliding door tracks can become worn out and warped over time, leading to metal-on-metal contact which makes a grinding sound. Alarming? Yes. Irritating? Double yes!Here, We Fix Sliding Doors will install our famous Miracle Track Cover which simply goes over the top of your old track and essential gives you a brand new one… without the $1500+ price tag of an entire track replacement!
