🚪 Sliding Door Lock Sticking or Jammed? Here’s How We Fix It in Waltham
Sliding glass doors are a great way to bring in light and connect your home to your patio or backyard—but when the lock doesn’t work properly, your security is at risk. At Star Locks, we specialize in sliding door lock repair throughout Waltham, MA and surrounding areas.
This service is especially important in neighborhoods like Lakeview, South Waltham, and Piety Corner, where many homes feature rear sliding access.
🔒 Common Issues With Sliding Glass Door Locks
We regularly respond to:
- Jammed latches that won’t catch
- Lock bars that no longer slide cleanly
- Rusted or worn lock components
- Misaligned frames or track systems
- Handles that wobble or don’t secure the door properly
Just last week, we helped a family off River Street whose sliding door hadn’t locked in months. With a vacation coming up, they needed it secure. We replaced the latch, realigned the strike plate, and added a lock bar for peace of mind.
🛠 How We Repair Sliding Door Locks
Our process includes:
- Full inspection of your sliding door hardware
- Track cleaning and alignment (if needed)
- Latch adjustment or replacement
- Optional lock bar installation for added protection
We can also install new sliding door lock hardware if yours is too damaged to repair.
🔐 Should You Replace Your Lock Instead?
If the latch is cracked, the handle is loose, or the lock is decades old, we often recommend replacement over repair. We carry durable, modern locksets for aluminum, vinyl, or wood-framed doors—and we install them on-site in under an hour.
