Call (561) 831-7863 and you’ll reach a live person who can talk through what you’re seeing, not a call center script.
How Mr-Glass Products Fail - and How We Fix Them
Mr-Glass builds a solid door, but every product line has its habits. After years of servicing these doors across Palm Beach, here’s what we see most often and what we actually do about it:
- Roller wear on the 8800 Series. The 8800 Series sliding door uses a nylon roller that grinds down in our sandy coastal air. When the door starts dragging or you feel a rumble through the handle, the rollers are usually shot. We replace them with either OEM Mr-Glass rollers or a hardened aftermarket set that holds up better in Palm Beach humidity, and we adjust the track height so the panel sits square again.
- Track corrosion on coastal homes. If your Palm Beach home sits within a mile of salt water, the aluminum track on Mr-Glass doors takes a beating. We regularly see pitting and white oxidation that mimics a bent track. Often the door just needs a deep track cleaning and polishing compound rather than a whole new frame, which is a $150 fix instead of a $2,000 one.
- Handle latch misalignment on the 9900 Series. The 9900 Series uses a mortise-style latch that drifts out of alignment as the house settles, especially in older Palm Beach concrete-slab construction. The door locks but doesn’t quite catch, or you have to lift the handle to lock it. We realign the keeper, shim the strike, and re-square the door in about an hour, and it locks like new.
- Weep hole blockages during summer storms. Mr-Glass patio doors drain water through weep channels at the bottom of the frame. Palm Beach afternoon downpours push leaves, pollen, and sand into those channels. The first sign is water pooling inside the track or seeping under the interior edge. We clear the weeps, flush the track, and verify drainage before recommending anything more expensive.
- Seal failure on older insulated glass units. Mr-Glass doors built before roughly 2012 sometimes develop a milky film between the panes, which means the argon gas has escaped and the seal is gone. You can’t reseal that properly in the field. We replace the IGU with a current Mr-Glass-compatible unit or an equivalent impact-rated glass package, and we re-glaze the sash so you don’t lose the door’s original look.
Our Mr-Glass Sliding Glass & Patio Doors Process
- 1
Call and describe what’s happening. You reach us 24/7 at (561) 831-7863. We ask specific questions: Is the door dragging, rattling, leaking, or locking poorly? How old is the door? What series is stamped on the corner?
- 2
We diagnose on site. Our background-checked, uniformed technician arrives, removes the panel if needed, and checks rollers, track, latch, seal, and glass. You’ll get a written diagnosis with a line-item quote, not a verbal number.
- 3
Parts decision: OEM or better-tested aftermarket. If OEM Mr-Glass parts make sense for your door’s age and warranty status, we use them. If an aftermarket part like a sealed-bearing roller will outlast OEM in coastal air, we tell you and show you the cost difference.
- 4
The repair or replacement. We do the work, clean the track and frame, lubricate moving parts, and re-check alignment. No shortcuts, no mystery extras.
- 5
We test it with you. You slide the door, lock it, and watch it drain before we call the job done. Every job carries Ed Winslow’s 36500-Day Done Right Promise, which means if it’s not done right, we come back and make it right.

FAQs
No, not when the repair is done correctly with Mr-Glass-compatible parts. Manufacturer warranties generally cover manufacturing defects, not wear items like rollers, latches, or seals. We document every repair and keep OEM options available when your door is still under warranty. Call (561) 831-7863 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
Most roller replacements, latch realignments, and track cleanings are completed in one visit lasting 60 to 90 minutes. Full panel replacements or IGU swaps typically take 2 to 3 hours on site, with glass ordered ahead. For an exact range on your specific issue, call (561) 831-7863.
Yes. We source OEM Mr-Glass parts directly and stock quality aftermarket alternatives for wear components like rollers, where a sealed-bearing option often outlasts OEM in corrosive coastal air. We’ll show you both options and the price before you decide. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll check availability for your door series.
If the frame is solid and the door is under 15 to 20 years old, repair almost always makes more financial sense - especially for rollers, latches, or track issues under $400. Replacement becomes the smarter call when the frame is pitted through, the seals have failed on multiple panes, or you want to move from non-impact to impact-rated glass on an older door. Call (561) 831-7863 for an honest assessment - we’ll tell you if repair is throwing good money after bad.
Yes. We handle Mr-Glass sliding glass and patio doors in high-rises, including buildings with hoisting requirements, insurance limits, and concierge access protocols. We coordinate with building management and bring the right crew and lifting gear so the job moves without drama. Call (561) 831-7863 and we’ll log your building’s specific requirements on the first call.
We’re the one down the road. If you’ve got a Mr-Glass sliding door that needs attention, call (561) 831-7863 and let’s get it sliding like the day it was installed. Free estimates, real answers, and Ed’s word behind the work.
