🚪 Repair or replace?

Here's the quick version:

🚪 Sticking patio door = new patio door?

Not always.

The problem could be:

⚙️ Worn rollers
📐 Misalignment
🧹 Track buildup
🔧 Failing hardware

If the rest of the door is still in good shape, a targeted repair may be all you need.

Get it checked before you replace it.
