If you manage a condominium or HOA property in South Florida, sliding door failures are one of your most frequent maintenance headaches. Units built before 1990 — which account for the majority of Broward County's condo stock — are running on original door hardware that is decades past its service life.
When a door fails completely, the emergency repair typically costs 3–4× more than a proactive roller replacement would have. You're also paying for after-hours dispatch, resident inconvenience, and potential liability if the failure creates a safety or security hazard.
Annual: Inspect all rollers, tracks, locks and weatherstripping in every unit. Replace worn rollers before they fail. Clean drainage channels to prevent storm water backup.
Semi-annual: Lubricate tracks and rollers with silicone-based lubricant. Check lock alignment. Inspect impact glass for cracks.
Pre-hurricane season: Inspect all impact glass for cracks or seal failures. Confirm lock hardware is functioning. Check anti-lift pins are installed.
We offer scheduled maintenance contracts for properties with 10+ units. Dedicated account manager, priority dispatch, and itemized per-unit invoicing. Properties on our maintenance program see emergency call volume cut by an average of 60%.
