Sliding Glass Door Repair
Broad patio panels and multi-panel walls on ranch homes — the mechanism serviced end to end, rollers to lock.
Home/Service Areas/Davie
Where We Work
A town of horse properties, acre-plus lots and ranch-style houses, Davie asks more of its doors than most suburbs do. The patio openings run wide out here — broad sliding walls and pairs of French doors opening to pools, patios and pasture — and wide doors are heavy doors, hard on rollers, hinges and tracks. Add the Nova Southeastern University district’s apartments and offices and the Flamingo Road corridor’s storefronts, and the work spreads across the whole catalog. LM Doors and Windows Repair handles door repair, window repair and door replacement throughout the Town of Davie.

What We Do
The whole service list below runs across Davie, from the equestrian west side to the university district — Same-Day Appointments Available.
Broad patio panels and multi-panel walls on ranch homes — the mechanism serviced end to end, rollers to lock.
Rollers sized for oversized, heavy panels; rails straightened, capped in stainless or renewed where grit has ground them down.
Wide ranch-home sliders replaced whole when the frame or the system itself is worn end to end — the new unit fitted to the opening.
Ranch-home entry doors re-hung and re-latched — hinges, thresholds, frames and lock hardware put right.
Hurricane-rated units serviced for seals, fit and alignment, and replaced when a unit can no longer hold its rating.
Storefronts and offices along Flamingo Road and the university district kept trading — closers, pivots, locks, glass.
Leaking, squeaking or loose shower enclosures sorted — hinges, seals, rollers and glass.
Hung and sliding windows repaired at the part that failed — balances, locks, latches — not replaced by default.
Fresh panes for cracked or fogged glass, fitted into the frame already standing in the opening.
Patio, pool and window screening renewed where pets, storms and plain age have torn the old mesh.
Most Requested
On a Davie ranch home, the sliding door is rarely a modest six-foot panel. Openings were built wide — two, three, four panels running out to a pool deck, a covered patio or a lanai facing the pasture — and every extra foot of glass adds weight the rollers carry. That weight, ground dust from unpaved lanes and horse properties, and decades of daily use flatten rollers and groove tracks until a door that once moved with one finger needs two hands and a shoulder. Our sliding glass door repair service is built for exactly that scale of door.
The work starts underneath the panel. Worn rollers come out and stainless-steel, corrosion-resistant replacements go in, sized to the panel’s weight. Rails are cleaned out, straightened where they have dipped, capped in stainless where the surface is worn, and replaced where the damage runs deeper. Locks, handles and keepers are reset so the meeting stile closes square. Many roller and track repairs can be completed in a single visit, depending on the condition of the door and the parts required. The dedicated sliding door roller & track repair page covers the hardware work in full.
French doors get the same treatment from the hinge side. Pairs that have sagged on their hinges, astragals that no longer meet, latches that miss — our patio and French door repair work re-hangs, aligns and re-seals them, and renews the weatherstripping so the afternoon rain stays on the patio side of the glass.
Windows
Davie’s housing splits roughly in two. The older ranch stock runs single- and double-hung windows and horizontal sliders whose balances, rollers and locks have been cycling since the house was built; the newer subdivisions run much the same hardware in larger sizes. Our window repair works at the level of the failed part — a balance that lets a sash drop, a lock that no longer pulls the meeting rail home, a roller set that makes a sliding window judder.
Glass is its own list: cracked panes from storm debris and lawn equipment, insulated units gone milky as their seals gave up. With window glass replacement the new pane is set into the frame you already own whenever that frame is sound. Hurricane-rated windows follow the impact windows and doors path, and torn screening anywhere on the property belongs to screen repair.
Our working assumption in Davie is that the window in front of us can be kept. Most can — the failure is a part, and parts are replaceable. When a frame has rotted or racked beyond honest repair, we show you the evidence and talk replacement with the measurements on the table.
Repair or Replace
Wide doors and old doors both reach a point where the owner asks which way to jump. Here is the honest split we work by in Davie.
Repair — Flattened rollers on a patio wall, a French pair hanging out of square, one grooved run of track, a latch that misses its keeper. These are hardware failures on sound frames, and a focused door repair closes them out without touching the opening.
Replacement — A frame rotted at the threshold, damage through the whole unit, or a deliberate upgrade to hurricane-rated glass: that is a door replacement conversation, measured and fitted to the existing opening.
Sliding doors — The most repairable doors in the town. Weight wears the running gear long before it hurts the glass or the frame, so rollers, tracks, locks and alignment answer nearly everything a sliding glass door does wrong.
Impact / hurricane doors earn their rating at the seals and the fit. Both are checked on every service visit; a unit that can no longer hold its rating gets a replacement recommendation, not a patch.
Which column your door lands in is decided at the inspection, with the frame in front of us both.
For Businesses
Davie’s businesses lean on their doors along a few corridors: storefronts and restaurants on Flamingo Road and University Drive, professional and medical offices serving the university district, and the equestrian-supply and service businesses a horse town collects. Our commercial door repair tends the hardware those entries run on — pivots, closers, locks, hinges and storefront glass — and commercial door installation steps in when a unit is finished. Tell us your trading hours when you book and we will build the visit around them.
Local Conditions
Big lots and wide doors sound gentle. In practice Davie gives hardware a working life: dust, weight, sun and storm water all take their turn.
Condos & HOAs
Davie runs on communities as much as on ranch lots — subdivisions across the town carry association rules on exterior doors, glass and hardware finishes, and approvals can sit between you and a replacement. Building and association requirements vary. Tell us about any approval, access, documentation, or Certificate of Insurance requirements when you schedule, and we'll coordinate with you and your building management before the work begins. A short conversation before we order anything keeps the paperwork ahead of the work.
Association boards and managers will find the common-area and in-unit scope collected on our association and property-manager services.
Neighborhoods
The Nova Southeastern University district · The Flamingo Road corridor · Griffin Road · The equestrian west side · Orange Drive and the older town center · And the subdivisions in between.
Two Davies share one town. The west side is the horse country the town is known for: ranch houses on large lots, barns and paddocks behind the houses, and doors built wide to open living rooms to the land. The east side is denser and newer — subdivisions, townhomes and the student-and-staff housing that gathers around the university. The failures differ with the stock: the west wears out running gear under big panels; the east wears out builder-grade hardware on a schedule.
Five ZIP codes cover the town: 33314, 33317, 33325, 33328 and 33330. All five sit inside the Broward County ranges set out on our Broward County page — run any Davie address through the ZIP checker there and it will confirm coverage.
Common Questions
Almost certainly. Wide panels fail underneath first: the rollers flatten under the weight, grit works into the track, and the panel starts dragging on the rail instead of rolling on it. We lift the panel, fit stainless-steel, corrosion-resistant rollers sized to its weight, and the track gets repaired, straightened or renewed to match its condition.
Yes — French pairs are half the patio doors in the older ranch stock. Sagging hinges, a meeting stile that no longer seals, an astragal that lets daylight through: the pair is re-hung, aligned and re-latched, with weatherstripping renewed where it has hardened.
Usually, yes. Building and association requirements vary. Tell us about any approval, access, documentation, or Certificate of Insurance requirements when you schedule, and we'll coordinate with you and your building management before the work begins.

Very unlikely. Original hung windows usually fail at their balances — the sash drops or will not stay up — or at locks that stop pulling the rails together. Those are parts, and replacing the part keeps the window. We will flag any frame that has genuinely rotted rather than sell you glass you do not need.
Fogging means the insulated unit’s seal has failed and moisture is inside the glass. The pane itself is replaceable: a new sealed unit goes into your existing panel and frame, and the door keeps its rollers, lock and alignment work untouched.
Yes — retail and restaurant entries along Flamingo Road and University Drive, plus offices around the university district. Closers, locks, hinges, pivots and storefront glass are the usual list, and installation replaces repair when a door is beyond it. We schedule around your opening hours wherever we can.
It is common in Davie: humidity swells a wood door until it binds in its frame, then it shrinks back in the dry months. If the frame is sound, the fix is alignment — hinges, latch geometry, threshold and weatherstripping — rather than a new door. We will tell you which side of that line your door is on.
