One of the things that Eichler owners are often nervous about is their sliding doors. They're generally original to the house and hard to find parts for. We've got a small stash of handles, but were always under the assumption that the rollers were either impossible to replace or that parts weren't available.

Then Bret and Mary Peyton got their doors repaired and tipped us off to American Sliding Door. Today, Ranko came by to give new life to the sliders. The cost was just under $200/door, but it was worth is as the doors now work like new. Ran did a great job in tuning them up, too — finessing the lock, track and frame… a true "tune up".

Ran took the doors off, disassembled the frame and slid in new rollers. While it looked easy, considering the sanctity of the doors, I'll let him be the expert and do his job. I discussed a few question that some of our readers have asked in the past and he seemed to think he could fix things like locks and handles, etc.

If your sliders are in need of repair, give him a call (and tell him we sent you): 925-285-5443
