Beach and lakeside sliders rolling easy again — the full mechanism renewed: rollers, tracks, locks, handles.
Home/Service Areas/Lake Worth Beach
Where We Work
Lake Worth Beach is Palm Beach County’s cottage city: streets of early-1900s wood-frame houses — bungalows, vernacular cottages, a downtown on the National Register’s doorstep — running from the Intracoastal to the beach itself. The housing is the oldest on this stretch of coast, and its doors and windows are original more often than anywhere else in the county: wood doors, wood sash, hardware with a century behind it. LM Doors and Windows Repair provides door repair, window repair and door replacement throughout Lake Worth Beach.
What We Do
From the historic districts to the beach side, every service below is available throughout Lake Worth Beach — Same-Day Appointments Available.
Beach and lakeside sliders rolling easy again — the full mechanism renewed: rollers, tracks, locks, handles.
Salt-worn roller sets replaced in stainless, corrosion-resistant specification; rails straightened, capped or renewed.
Historic wood entry doors coaxed back to a clean latch — hinges, locks, thresholds and frames, all at the part level.
Hurricane-rated units serviced for fit, seals and hardware, or replaced when a rating is lost.
Downtown shops and galleries on Lake and Lucerne avenues kept trading with working doors.
Shower enclosures in the cottage bathrooms fixed — hinges, rollers, seals and glass.
Original wood windows kept in service — balances, cords, operators, locks and latches at the part level.
New glass for cracked panes and fogged units, set into the frame already on the house.
Porch and window screening replaced or re-fitted where it has torn, rotted or slackened.
Most Requested
The city’s sliding doors live two lives. On the beach side and along the lake, cottages and small condos run aluminum sliders that breathe the Intracoastal’s air — rollers pit and seize in the salt, tracks roughen, locks fur up until they stop catching. In the historic districts, the sliders came later, added behind the cottages as Florida rooms and patios, and many are now old enough to be failing on their original running gear.
Our sliding glass door repair handles both lives the same way: mechanically. The panel comes up, the corroded rollers come out, and stainless-steel, corrosion-resistant replacements go in. The track is cleaned back, straightened where a dragging panel has bent it, capped in stainless where the rail is worn, and replaced where the salt has gone through. Many roller and track repairs can be completed in a single visit, depending on the condition of the door and the parts required. Our sliding door roller & track repair page covers the hardware side in full.
Alignment closes the job: a dropped panel gaps at the corners, and in a city this close to the water, gaps are where the storm rain enters. We re-seat and true the panel, renew the weatherstripping, and leave it locking square and sealing the way it should.
Windows
This is the best window work in the county, because the stock deserves it: original wood sash windows in the College Park and Bryant Park districts, casements and awnings on the cottages between, a century of hardware still in daily service. Our window repair service is preservation-minded by design — balances, sash cords, crank operators, locks and latches replaced one part at a time, the original window kept.
Glass is where we are most often called. Panes crack under storm debris; the later insulated units fog at their seals. Either way, window glass replacement sets new glass into the frame that is already there. Hurricane-rated units follow their own path on our impact windows and doors page, and the porch screening that defines cottage summers belongs to screen repair.
The rule in the historic districts is simple: original fabric is the value. A rotted sill can be cut out and repaired; a failed balance is a part; a fogged pane is glass. Replacement of a whole window is the last resort, and it only arrives when the frame itself has rotted beyond the joiner’s art — we will show you the wood before we say so.
Repair or Replace
In a historic city, replacement is not just a cost decision — it is a character decision. Here is the order in which we ask the questions.
Repair — Seized rollers, a latch that misses, a bent stretch of track, hinges worn until a wood door drops in its frame. Part failures, with part-priced cures — a focused door repair that keeps the original door exactly where history put it.
Replacement — Rot through the frame, a unit damaged across its whole width, or a deliberate upgrade to hurricane-rated protection: the narrow case for a complete door replacement — measured, hung and finished to suit a historic house.
Sliding doors — The great repairables. Between rollers, tracks, locks and alignment, nearly every failure of a sliding glass door has a part-level cure — including panels older than most of the county’s subdivisions.
Impact / hurricane doors are only as strong as their fit and their seals. A service visit verifies both, renews what is renewable, and — when a unit’s rating is truly finished — says so plainly and recommends replacement over repair.
We will show you the frame, the hardware and the evidence, and tell you which column your door is in. In Lake Worth Beach, the repair column usually wins — the stock was built by people who expected it to be repaired.
For owners who want to read up before they call, our door and window repair guides cover the failures we see most — and how each one is diagnosed.
For Businesses
The downtown is the city’s second front door: galleries, cafés, bars and shops along Lake Avenue and Lucerne Avenue, busy late, in buildings as old as the cottages around them. Our commercial door repair keeps those entries working — closers, locks, hinges, pivots and storefront glass — and commercial door installation handles the change-out when a door is done. Tell us your trading hours; the visit is planned around them.
Local Conditions
A century-old housing stock on a barrier coast: Lake Worth Beach gives door and window hardware the longest exposure in the county, in air that never stops being salty or wet.
Associations & Historic Districts
Much of the city lives under some form of shared rule-making — condo associations on the beach side, and the historic districts, where exterior changes to a contributing house answer to preservation guidelines as well as the building code. 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.
Boards and managers can read about our approach on the property-manager and association services page, which gathers entrances and in-unit work in one place.
Neighborhoods
College Park · Bryant Park · Eden Place · Mango Groves · Tropical Ridge · The Lake Avenue downtown · The beach side
The districts share a century. College Park and Bryant Park hold the grandest of the historic homes — larger cottages and period revivals under preservation rules, with original doors and windows that are part of the architecture. Eden Place, Mango Groves and Tropical Ridge run smaller and quieter: working cottages, wood sash, Florida rooms behind. The downtown avenues carry the city’s commerce in buildings of the same vintage, and the beach side — across the bridge — takes the full Atlantic weather on newer sliders and rated glass.

Common Questions
Yes — that work is the heart of what we do in this city. Original doors and sash windows fail at their hardware: hinges, locks, balances, cords, crank operators. Every one is a replaceable part, and replacing it keeps the original fabric your house’s value partly lives in. We repair first, and we will show you the part that failed.
Yes — exterior approvals are a normal part of work here. 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.

The usual sequence: roller bearings corrode and seize, the panel drops onto the track’s edge, and the rail wears until the panel can climb out. The answer is mechanical — stainless-steel, corrosion-resistant rollers, and a track straightened, capped or replaced to match its condition. Many roller and track repairs can be completed in a single visit, depending on the condition of the door and the parts required.
Yes, in most cases. Fogging is a failed insulated seal, and the unit can be swapped inside the existing frame — including in the older replacement windows across the districts. The original sash windows take single panes the same way. Your window keeps its frame and its proportions; only the glass is new.
Usually the window is fine and only its glass has failed. A sound sash and frame take a new pane and go straight back into service; the room is weathertight the same day. Frame damage is the exception — and when we find it, we show you the wood and talk options before ordering anything.
Yes — the downtown’s galleries, cafés and shops are regular work for us: closers, locks, hinges, pivots and storefront glass, plus installation when a door is finished. Share your trading hours when you book and we will schedule around them wherever we can.
That is wood behaving like wood in a wet climate — and it is usually manageable without replacing the door. We check the fit at the swollen season’s worst, adjust the hinges and strike, and renew the seals so the door closes and latches without being forced. If the door itself has warped beyond truing, we will tell you plainly.
