Re-glazed, re-rollered and running the way they should
Sliding & Stacker Doors in Pakenham
Sliding & Stacker Doors
Sliding and stacker doors take more punishment than any other opening in a house — they are heavy, they are used constantly, and they are the panel most likely to be walked into or hit by furniture. All glass in a sliding door is required to be Grade A safety glass, which in practice means toughened, and a replacement panel has to be made to exact size because there is no adjustment once it is in the frame. We replace the glass in sliding, stacker and bifold doors, and we do the hardware side as well, because a door with a perfect new pane that still needs a shove to open has only been half fixed.
What’s included
- Toughened Grade A safety glass in all sliding and stacker panels
- Sliding, stacker, bifold and French door glazing
- Rollers replaced and worn tracks re-capped in stainless
- Locks, handles, catches and interlocks
- Perished weather seals and brush strips renewed
- Upgrade options — laminated for noise, low-E for heat
How we approach sliding & stacker doors
Toughened glass, no exceptions
Glass in a sliding door has to be Grade A safety glass. Toughened breaks into blunt granules instead of shards, which is what makes it survivable when someone walks into it. If your door has ordinary annealed glass — and older doors sometimes do — replacing it is a genuine safety upgrade, not just a repair.
Big panels need to be made right
A stacker panel is large, heavy and unforgiving of a measurement error, because there is no scope to adjust it once toughened. We measure the actual panel with the door in place and account for the frame and glazing system rather than working from a nominal size.
Rollers and tracks
Heavy doors destroy cheap rollers, and a dragging door then destroys the track. We fit rollers rated for the panel weight, and where the track is already worn we re-cap it with a stainless insert rather than leaving new rollers to run in a damaged channel.
Security and locking
Sliding doors are a common entry point and their locks are often the weakest hardware in the house. We fit proper locks and can add secondary locking, and where the door is a security concern, laminated glass is a genuine deterrent because it holds together under impact rather than opening a hole.
Upgrades while the panel is out
Re-glazing a big sliding door is the ideal moment to change what the glass does. Acoustic laminated for road noise, low-E for a west-facing living room that overheats in February, or tinted for glare. Same labour, better door.
Draughts and water ingress
Sliding doors are the most common source of draughts and, in wind-driven rain, water on the floor. That is almost always seals, brush strips or blocked drainage slots in the sill — all straightforward to fix and often blamed on the door itself.
Sliding & Stacker Doors — your questions
- Yes. The panel is de-glazed, the new toughened sheet is fitted with fresh gaskets, and it goes back into the track. The frame is retained. Replacing the whole door is only necessary when the frame itself is corroded or out of square.
