Bifold & Sliding Door Repairs in Leeds
Bifold doors dropped, dragging or refusing to close? Sliding patio door stuck or coming off its track?
I repair mechanical faults on uPVC and aluminium bifold and sliding doors across Leeds. I'll check the rollers, tracks, hinges and locking hardware to identify what's wrong and explain the most suitable repair.
Many mechanical faults can be put right without replacing the entire door system. If a door is beyond a suitable repair, I'll tell you plainly.

Is your bifold or sliding door giving you trouble?
You shouldn't need to know which component has failed. Tell me what the door is doing and I'll check the likely causes.
Sliding door stiff or off track
Doors sticking, scraping or no longer moving smoothly, often involving rollers, tracks or alignment.
Bifold door won't close
Hinge, pivot and alignment faults stopping panels folding and closing as they should.
Door won't lock
Faulty handles, multipoint mechanisms and locking components that won't engage correctly.
I check the rollers, tracks, hinges and alignment because more than one fault can contribute to the same symptom. For a door that primarily has a locking fault, you can also read about my uPVC door lock repairs and general lock repairs in Leeds.

uPVC bifold & sliding patio door repairs
Get your patio doors moving smoothly and closing properly again.
When a uPVC sliding door becomes stiff, catches or stops closing properly, the fault may involve worn rollers, track damage or misalignment. I repair and replace suitable rollers, tracks, hinges and locking hardware on uPVC bifold and sliding doors.
Where access to the mechanism requires it, I can remove and refit the door panel, carry out the agreed mechanical repair and test the movement, closing and locking operation.
Typical uPVC faults
- Worn or broken roller carriages
- Door scraping on the track
- Loose or failed hinge assemblies
- Door or lock misalignment
- Stiff handles and locking mechanisms
Parts and the correct repair method are confirmed after inspection.
Aluminium door systems
Aluminium bifold & sliding door repairs
A problem with your aluminium doors doesn't automatically mean replacing the whole door system.
I repair mechanical faults affecting aluminium bifold and sliding doors, including bottom rollers, tracks, pivots, hinges, door alignment and locking mechanisms.
Many aluminium door components are specific to their manufacturer or system. I'll identify what's fitted, assess the fault and check whether suitable replacement parts are available. Specialist parts may need ordering before the repair can be completed.
What I check
- Bottom rollers and running gear
- Track condition and movement
- Top and bottom pivots
- Hinges and panel alignment
- Handles and locking hardware
I only recommend repairs appropriate to the condition of the door system.
