The biggest door in your home deserves a working lock

A sliding glass door is the largest opening in most coastal and inland markets homes — and often the most neglected lock in the house. Handles snap, internal mortise latches wear out and stop throwing, keepers drift out of alignment as the door settles, and one day the door simply won't lock, or worse, won't open. Apollo technicians carry the common mortise lock bodies, hook latches, handle sets, and keepers on every van, so the overwhelming majority of lock and handle failures are fixed in a single same-day visit from $99.

Won't lock? It's usually alignment, not the lock

Here's a trade secret: half the 'broken locks' we're called for aren't broken at all. As rollers wear, the panel drops and tilts, and the hook latch no longer meets its keeper — the lock is fine, the door is crooked. That's why every Apollo lock call includes checking the door's height and alignment before we condemn any hardware. Often the honest fix is adjusting the rollers so the latch lines up again, and if the rollers are too far gone to hold adjustment, we'll show you exactly why and quote the real fix in writing.

Discontinued hardware, matched anyway

Many coastal and inland markets sliding doors are decades old, from manufacturers long out of business, and homeowners are routinely told the whole door must go because 'they don't make that handle anymore.' Almost never true. Mortise locks and handle sets follow standard patterns, and we stock and source replacement hardware that retrofits the vast majority of vintage doors — matched to your door's hole spacing and latch style, in finishes that suit a modern home. Locked-out sets, snapped keys in cylinders, and seized latches on doors that haven't opened in years are all everyday work for us.

Real security upgrades for glass doors

A standard sliding door latch is a privacy device, not a security device — it can be defeated with a pry bar in seconds. For homeowners who want more, we install genuine upgrades: double-bolt security locks that pin the panel to the frame, keyed lock cylinders, anti-lift blocks that stop the panel being levered off its track, and secondary footbolts. Combined with hurricane-impact laminated glass, these turn the most vulnerable opening in the house into one of the strongest. We'll walk you through the options without the scare tactics.

Lock & Handle Repair FAQs

My sliding door won't lock anymore. What's wrong?+

Usually one of two things: the mortise latch inside the handle has worn out, or the door has dropped on worn rollers so the hook no longer reaches its keeper. We diagnose which on-site — alignment fixes are quick, and we carry the common replacement lock bodies when the hardware itself has failed.

Can you replace a handle on a 30-year-old discontinued door?+

Nearly always. Sliding door handles and mortise locks follow standard hole-spacing patterns, and we stock retrofit hardware that fits the vast majority of vintage doors — no full door replacement required.

How much does a sliding door lock repair cost?+

Lock and handle repairs start at $99, with the full price quoted in writing before work begins. Most repairs, including a new mortise lock or handle set, are completed in a single visit with parts from the van.

Are sliding glass doors easy to break into?+

With factory latches alone, unfortunately yes — they pry open easily. We install double-bolt security locks, anti-lift blocks, and secondary footbolts that make forcing the panel dramatically harder, and impact glass adds another serious layer.

The door locks but I have to lift or slam it first. Is that a problem?+

Yes — it means the panel is sagging on worn rollers and the latch barely reaches the keeper. It will stop locking entirely soon, and the misalignment is wearing the track meanwhile. An alignment or roller service now is far cheaper than the damage later.
