Wide Variety Of Sliding Glass Door Locks & Handles
If you’re searching for a wide variety of sliding glass door locks and handles, you’ve come to the right place. At The Sliding Door Experts, we specialize in high-quality lock and handle solutions for both standard and impact-rated sliding glass doors. Whether you need a sleek flush handle, a heavy-duty mortise lock, or a keyed system for exterior access, we provide expert recommendations, top-tier parts, and professional installation to restore function, improve safety, and elevate the look of your sliding glass doors.
Types of Sliding Glass Door Locks
We carry a wide variety of sliding glass door locks and handles to meet your specific door type, design preference, and security needs. Below are some of the most popular styles we install for homeowners across South Florida.
1. Flush Mount Locks
Flush mount locks are designed to sit level with the surface of the door, providing a clean, low-profile look. These locks are often installed inside the door panel and are operated by a thumb turn or key from one or both sides.
Key Benefits:
- Sleek and minimal appearance
- Great for doors that slide into wall pockets
- Compatible with both regular and impact doors
- Typically comes with a key cylinder option for added security
Flush mount locks are an ideal solution for homeowners looking for modern, non-intrusive locking mechanisms. They’re especially popular in homes with minimalistic design elements or limited space around the door frame.
2. Single Mortise Locks
Single mortise locks are installed inside the door frame and typically feature a hook-style latch that locks into a strike plate on the jamb. These are the most commonly used locks for sliding doors.
Key Benefits:
- Stronger security than surface locks
- Hook-style latch resists door prying
- Fits most standard sliding door configurations
- Easily integrated with external key cylinders or interior thumb turns
Single mortise locks provide a solid layer of protection and are reliable for both new doors and replacements. They’re also compatible with many aftermarket handles and lock trim sets.
3. Double Mortise Locks
For those seeking maximum security, double mortise locks offer a dual-locking mechanism—usually featuring two hooks or deadbolts that engage into the top and bottom of the strike plate.
Key Benefits:
- Enhanced security with two locking points
- Ideal for larger or heavier doors
- Excellent for impact-rated sliding doors
- Works well with high-security keyed systems
Double mortise systems are often used in coastal properties or high-rise condos where impact-rated sliding doors are required by code. If you’re upgrading your locking system for added protection against forced entry or hurricanes, this is the go-to solution.
4. Keyed Locks (Outside Access)
Many homeowners opt for keyed exterior access to their sliding glass doors, particularly for patio entrances. Keyed locks can be added to most mortise lock systems and are available in a variety of finishes to match your handle style.
Key Benefits:
- Allows secure entry from the outside
- Compatible with single or double mortise locks
- Can be keyed to match existing house keys
- Available in chrome, bronze, black, white, and brushed finishes
Adding a keyed cylinder is a simple way to make your sliding door more functional and secure, especially if it’s frequently used as a main entrance.
5. Add-On Security Locks
For homeowners looking to enhance security beyond the standard lock, we also offer a selection of add-on security locks, including:
- Sliding door security bars
- Bolt-style locks
- Top-mount or foot-operated secondary locks
These locks are often used in conjunction with the main locking system to provide extra peace of mind.
Types of Sliding Glass Door Handles
Just like locks, the handle you choose for your sliding glass door plays a significant role in its usability and design. Below are some of the most common types of sliding glass door handles we carry and install.
1. Pull Handles
Pull handles are the classic option—durable, functional, and easy to use. They are typically mounted vertically and work seamlessly with mortise lock systems.
Key Features:
- Ergonomic grip
- Available in a wide variety of finishes
- Suitable for both regular and impact doors
- Can include interior thumb turn or exterior keyed cylinder
Pull handles are a customer favorite due to their straightforward design and durability. They work well in residential and commercial applications alike.
2. Clamp Handles
Clamp-style handles are commonly used on heavy-duty or impact sliding glass doors. These handles “clamp” around the door rail and often offer enhanced grip and leverage.
Key Features:
- Extra grip for heavier doors
- Strong mechanical connection
- Typically paired with impact door mortise locks
- Rust-resistant materials available
Clamp handles are perfect for coastal homes or hurricane-rated doors where strength and grip matter most.
3. Flush Handles
Flush handles sit level with the surface of the door and are often used in minimal or space-saving designs. They’re common in pocket sliding doors or installations with limited clearance.
Key Features:
- Low-profile design
- Ideal for modern and minimalist homes
- Reduces obstruction in tight spaces
- Often paired with flush mount or mortise locks
These handles are also great for homes with children, as their recessed nature helps prevent snagging or bumping.
4. Surface-Mount Handles
Surface-mount handles are installed directly onto the glass or aluminum surface of the door. They’re ideal for retrofit projects where internal space for a mortise or flush mechanism may be limited.
Key Features:
- Simple installation
- Budget-friendly
- Compatible with aftermarket locks
- Various styles and shapes
These handles provide an easy upgrade option and are often used in rentals or commercial properties where aesthetics and cost must be balanced.
5. Custom & Designer Handles
If you’re looking to enhance the look of your sliding door, we offer a range of custom designer handles in luxury finishes like satin nickel, matte black, antique bronze, and brushed chrome.
Key Features:
- Stylish designs for upscale homes
- Unique shapes and finishes
- Compatible with most standard lock systems
- Perfect for matching with interior decor
Ask our team about our premium handle collections if you want your sliding glass door to stand out as a design feature.
Options for Regular and Impact Sliding Glass Doors
At The Sliding Door Experts, we service and install hardware for both standard residential sliding doors and impact-rated sliding glass doors, including:
- Single panel and multi-panel systems
- Pocket doors
- Balcony sliding doors
- Patio and backyard entrances
- High-rise and hurricane-rated doors
Our selection of locks and handles includes hardware made from heavy-duty stainless steel, corrosion-resistant aluminum, and durable nylon components to ensure long-term performance—especially important in South Florida’s humid, salt-rich environment.
Brands & Compatibility
We work with many popular brands and sliding door systems, including:
- PGT
- CGI
- Lawson Industries
- WinDoor
- CWS
- ES Windows
- YKK

Our technicians carry a wide range of parts in-stock, ensuring quick replacements or upgrades during the same visit in most cases. Whether you have an older door that needs retrofitting or a brand-new impact system, we have the parts and know-how to complete the job right.
Professional Installation Matters
Installing locks and handles may seem simple, but proper alignment and configuration are critical—especially for impact doors, where improper installation can compromise wind resistance or even void the door manufacturer’s warranty.
Here’s what our professional installation service includes:
- Accurate alignment for smooth operation
- Compatibility checks with door frame and glass
- Weatherproofing and sealing adjustments
- Keyed lock testing and calibration
- Adjustments to door rollers if needed for optimal glide

Our Door & Window Services
At The Sliding Door Experts, we understand the importance of maintaining fully functional sliding glass doors, as they play a vital role in both the beauty and functionality of your property. Sliding doors are more than just an entryway — they connect your living spaces to outdoor areas, provide natural light, and create a seamless transition between your home and the South Florida lifestyle. Beyond aesthetics, properly working sliding glass doors also contribute to energy efficiency by keeping your home insulated, help reduce outside noise, and most importantly, ensure security for your family and belongings. Over time, however, the constant use of these doors, combined with South Florida’s humidity, salt air, and weather conditions, can cause rollers to wear out, tracks to corrode, and locks or handles to malfunction. That’s why our comprehensive repair and maintenance services are designed to address every aspect of your sliding glass doors, from roller and track repair to handle and lock replacement, alignment, and preventative maintenance, ensuring your doors remain in optimal condition, safe, and smooth to operate for years to come.
Sliding Door Roller Repairs
Sliding glass door rollers are one of the most essential components that keep your doors operating smoothly. When they are in good condition, your doors glide effortlessly, making it easy to access your patio, balcony, or backyard. However, when rollers begin to fail, the entire door system suffers, leading to frustrating daily struggles and even potential damage to the tracks. That’s why proper inspection, timely repairs, and high-quality replacement parts are so important in maintaining the safety, functionality, and comfort of your home.
Common Roller Problems
-
Rollers can wear out, corrode, or crack over time.
-
Minor issues like sticking or resistance can quickly become noisy and inconvenient.
-
Damaged rollers put extra strain on tracks, leading to more costly repairs if ignored.
Our Professional Solution
At The Sliding Door Experts, our skilled technicians specialize in roller replacement services designed to restore your doors to like-new condition.
We carry a wide selection of high-quality rollers including:
-
Stainless Steel Rollers – corrosion-resistant, ideal for oceanfront homes.
-
Nylon Rollers – lightweight and quiet, perfect for smooth operation.
-
Tandem Rollers – designed for heavy or impact-rated doors.
-
Precision Bearing Rollers – built for long-lasting, smooth performance.
Why Choose Us
-
Hardware selected specifically to withstand South Florida’s climate (humidity, salt air, heavy use).
-
Proper installation ensures long-lasting performance and reduced wear on other components.
-
Enjoy doors that glide effortlessly, improve accessibility, and eliminate daily frustration.
Sliding Door Track Repairs
The track is the foundation of your sliding glass door system. Even with brand-new rollers, a damaged or misaligned track can make your doors difficult to operate, cause premature wear on components, and even create safety risks in your home. Because tracks are constantly exposed to dirt, debris, and the elements, they require regular attention to stay in good condition. When problems arise, professional repair is the key to keeping your doors safe, functional, and rolling smoothly.
Common Track Problems
-
Jamming, sticking, or dragging doors caused by worn or damaged tracks.
-
Derailing doors that come off the track entirely, posing safety concerns.
-
Dirt, debris, or salt buildup blocking rollers from gliding properly.
-
Dents, cracks, or bends in the track creating uneven movement and strain.
Our Professional Solution
At The Sliding Door Experts, we provide comprehensive track repair services designed to restore your doors to seamless operation. Our process includes:
-
Meticulous inspection of the track system to identify wear, corrosion, or misalignment.
-
Precision repairs, which may involve realigning bent sections, smoothing dents, or filling cracks.
-
Track replacement when damage is too severe for repair.
-
Cleaning and restoring tracks so rollers glide effortlessly.
Why Choose Us
-
Expertise in handling natural wear, corrosion, and impact damage common in South Florida.
-
Equipped with the proper tools and years of hands-on experience.
-
Long-lasting repairs that enhance both the safety and functionality of your doors.
-
Confidence knowing your sliding doors will glide smoothly and securely once again.
Sliding Door Lock & Handles
Locks and handles are the first line of defense for your sliding glass doors, providing both security and convenience. When these components are working properly, they make it easy to access your space while keeping your home or business safe. But when they fail, it can leave you struggling with daily use and even compromise the security of your property. Because sliding glass doors are frequently exposed to South Florida’s coastal climate and heavy daily use, locks and handles often require timely maintenance or replacement to ensure peace of mind.
Common Lock & Handle Problems
-
Malfunctioning locks that fail to secure properly.
-
Loose or broken handles that make opening and closing difficult.
-
Corrosion from salt air, causing mechanisms to stick or seize.
-
Wear from frequent use, leading to failure over time.
Our Professional Solution
At The Sliding Door Experts, we specialize in lock and handle replacement and repair services to restore both safety and functionality. Our services include:
-
Installing new locks for stronger, more reliable security.
-
Repairing damaged or loose handles for smoother operation.
-
Replacing entire lock-and-handle systems with upgraded hardware.
-
Providing coastal-grade locks and handles designed to resist salt air corrosion.
Why Choose Us
-
Skilled technicians with the expertise to handle any lock or handle issue.
-
Wide selection of high-quality, durable hardware for lasting performance.
-
Solutions tailored to withstand South Florida’s unique climate challenges.
-
Assurance that your sliding glass doors will remain easy to use and secure against intruders and weather.
Screen Repair Services
Sliding screen doors are a simple but important feature of your home, allowing fresh air to flow in while keeping out insects, debris, and unwanted pests. When the screen is in good condition, it enhances comfort and ventilation, but when it becomes torn, damaged, or loose, it not only looks unsightly but also fails to provide the protection you need. Because South Florida weather can be harsh on screen materials, regular maintenance and timely repairs are essential to keep your screen doors functional and attractive.
Common Screen Door Problems
-
Torn or ripped screens that allow pests and insects to enter.
-
Warped or sagging frames that prevent smooth operation.
-
Loose mesh that reduces durability and appearance.
-
Weather damage from sun, humidity, and storms.
Our Professional Solution
At The Sliding Door Experts, we provide comprehensive screen repair and replacement services to restore both functionality and appearance. Our technicians are skilled in:
-
Repairing small tears or punctures in the screen mesh.
-
Replacing heavily damaged or worn screens with new materials.
-
Adjusting frames for proper fit and smoother sliding.
-
Working with a wide variety of screen types to ensure a perfect match.
Why Choose Us
-
Seamless repairs that restore your screen’s clean, professional look.
-
High-quality materials designed to withstand South Florida’s climate.
-
Skilled technicians with experience on all types of screen doors.
-
Peace of mind knowing your home stays protected from pests and debris while looking its best.
Window Repair Services
Windows are an essential part of every home, providing natural light, ventilation, and insulation while also contributing to the overall comfort and security of your living space. When windows are in good condition, they help maintain energy efficiency, reduce outside noise, and protect your home from the elements. However, when they become cracked, damaged, or lose their seals, they can compromise both comfort and safety while driving up energy costs. That’s why timely window repair is so important to preserving the value and functionality of your home.
Common Window Problems
-
Broken or cracked glass that weakens security and appearance.
-
Damaged seals leading to drafts, condensation, and energy loss.
-
Warped or misaligned frames that prevent smooth opening or closing.
-
General wear and tear from South Florida’s heat, humidity, and storms.

Professional repairs that enhance both appearance and security.
-
Fast, reliable service that ensures your home remains comfortable year-round.
Weatherstrip Replacement
Weatherstripping may seem like a small detail, but it plays a major role in the comfort, efficiency, and protection of your home. When properly installed, weatherstripping creates a tight seal around your sliding glass doors, helping to keep conditioned air inside while keeping out drafts, moisture, and outdoor elements. Over time, however, constant use, heat, humidity, and general wear can cause the material to crack, flatten, or separate from the frame, which reduces its effectiveness. Replacing old or damaged weatherstripping is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve the performance of your sliding glass doors.
Common Weatherstripping Problems
-
Worn-out or cracked weatherstripping that no longer provides a proper seal.
-
Drafts and air leaks leading to discomfort and fluctuating indoor temperatures.
-
Higher utility bills caused by energy loss from poor insulation.
-
Moisture infiltration that can lead to mold or damage over time.
Our Professional Solution
At The Sliding Door Experts, we offer professional weatherstripping replacement services to restore insulation and efficiency. Our technicians provide:
-
Careful removal of damaged or ineffective weatherstripping.
-
Installation of high-quality, durable materials designed for a tight, lasting seal.
-
Solutions that improve both energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
-
A professional finish that ensures your doors operate smoothly while staying well-insulated.
Why Choose Us
-
Experience with weatherstripping tailored to South Florida’s climate.
-
Materials selected to withstand humidity, heat, and daily use.
-
Repairs that reduce energy waste and help lower utility costs.
-
Confidence knowing your home will stay comfortable, efficient, and protected year-round.
