Track repair. The reason your door is not sliding smooth.

One of the main reasons a door stops sliding is the track: worn flat, bent by a jump, corroded by salt air. We assess it and restore it, with a stainless cap or a new rail.

What happens to a track

Florida sand, salt and years of rollers wear a groove into aluminum tracks. A panel that jumped the track bends it. Once the track is damaged, new rollers wear out fast, so we always look at the track before we sell you rollers.

Restore, cap or replace

Light wear: we clean, straighten and polish the rail. Deeper wear: we install a stainless-steel track cap over the existing rail, which is the most durable fix and does not require removing the frame. Beyond repair: we replace the track section. Whichever it is, the price is on the work order before we start.

How a call goes

  1. You describe it, we name the price.Service, city, when. The dispatcher gives you a real number and the technician's name, day or night.
  2. A marked van arrives.Usually 20 to 30 minutes in South Florida, 25 to 40 on the Gulf Coast and in Orlando. The technician shows ID.
  3. You sign the ticket, then we work.The written price is the final price. If the job is different from what you described, we say so before touching anything.
  4. We test it with you.Every key, every lock, every door, before we pack up. Itemized invoice, card or cash.

Questions people ask before they call

Does the frame have to come out?

Rarely. Track caps and most straightening are done with the panel out and the frame in place.

What does track restoration cost?

Cleaning and straightening is the simplest job; stainless caps and replacements are quoted on site after we measure the rail. Always in writing before we start.

What you'll see at your door

Fake locksmiths are the biggest problem in this trade: a rock-bottom quote on the phone, an unmarked car, a drill instead of a pick, and a bill several times higher at the door. Here is what a real visit from us looks like, every time.

A marked van: Our van at a Coral Gables driveway, side door open, stocked for the day.

Our name on the side, tools and parts inside. If someone shows up in an unmarked car, it is not us.

A technician with ID: Every technician shows photo ID before touching your door.

A pick, not a drill

Lockouts are opened without damage. Drilling only happens with your written approval and we replace the lock on the same visit.

How to verify us before you open the door

Florida stopped issuing county locksmith licenses on July 1, 2025, so no locksmith in the state can show you a current license number. What you can check on us: our Google Business Profile with reviews and photos, our registration in the Florida business registry, our liability insurance certificate, which any technician can text you, and the fact that we answer at the same two numbers we have used since 2018.
