Sliding Door Maintenance for Condos and HOAs

In a condo building, sliding doors are often the most-used and least-maintained part of each unit. Small problems become leaks and lockouts when nobody owns the upkeep.

Set a simple schedule

• Once a year: clean tracks, clear weep holes, check locks on every unit
• Before hurricane season: inspect seals and storm protection
• After major storms: walk every balcony door for leaks and damage

Keep a record per unit

Note the door brand, roller type and any repairs. When a part is needed, you already have the measurements and can batch orders.

Batch the repairs

Scheduling several units in one visit saves time and usually money. Ask a partner in your region about building-wide service days.
