# Sliding Door Repair

Sliding door service repairs the track, rollers, hinges, latch, and power mechanism on van side doors. On a delivery vehicle this door cycles hundreds of times a day and wear shows up as binding, dropping, or failure to latch.

Range: $400 to $3,500

Collision estimates for insurance claim walk-ins carry no charge. Systems estimates are $150 and diagnostics are $285 per hour, both credited against an authorized repair.

## Symptoms

- Door binds or requires force to open
- Door drops at the rear when open
- Latch will not engage or door pops open
- Power door slow or inoperative

## The highest-cycle component on a delivery van

A route van's side door opens and closes more times per day than any other moving part on the vehicle. Rollers flatten, tracks wear, and the hinge assembly develops play, all of which shows up as a door that fights the driver.

It is worth fixing promptly. A door that requires a shoulder to close is both a delay at every stop and an injury waiting to happen.

- Roller and bearing replacement
- Track straightening and replacement
- Center hinge and arm assembly service
- Latch, striker and lock repair
- Power sliding door mechanism repair
- Seal replacement and alignment

## Questions

**Why does my door drop when open?**

Almost always the center hinge arm or its roller has worn. It is a common failure on high-mileage route vans and it is repairable.

**Can a power sliding door be repaired?**

Usually yes. Motor, cable, and sensor faults are all serviceable and are considerably cheaper than replacing the assembly.

**How long does it take?**

Two to fourteen labor hours depending on scope. Roller and latch work is often same day.
