Thank you so much! ❤ Great video instructions. Hubby & I just fixed our sliding door in 20 minutes. After 8 years of a stiff sliding door😅 I was about to call in a pro... now we're the pros 🎉
All these while I thought the sliding door was overhang from the top. It's those wheels carrying the loads! You Sir, are a good samaritan and a very good teacher, thank you.
You saved me from getting a pro to replace the rollers... Thank you! Just needed to raise the wheels. Was looking for a local "doors smith", when I stumbled upon this piece of gold... ❤
watched this last night probably around 7:30am today at Gelmar to buy new wheels 😃 . did the job less than 30mins thank you very much . my wife gone be happy when she comes back from work
I'm starting to do more and more DIYs around the house to save on contractor's cost. Thank you for this video, it's definitely going into my collection.
You might also add that if your track is corroded at all it will eat your new rollers, you can buy SS track liners that are a "u" shape that you can caulk down over your existing track and have a nice new easy sliding door and longer-lasting rollers, and it's an easy job also.
Very good, thank you. My slider totally froze up just as I was closing it for the final time before heading upstairs to go to bed. Panic. Not sure about choosing a new plastic replacement but these days that's where we are. Oh, one more tiny hint: take advantage of the slider being out and clean up the track thoroughly - you won't get another chance for about another 20 years! Thanks again.
Thanks mate, 6 years with stuffed door and I couldn't workout how to get the door back in as rollers stuck out ,now I know what the screw is for ,to lift the rollers, good video mate.
Thank you, my door came off the bottom track on 1 wheel and I couldn’t figure out how to get it back on. One little screw. Proves you don’t know what you don’t know. Thanks again.
Thank you for the video. Helped a ton. I had a frightening experience this last weekend. My door kept jamming and riding up… and then what was worse was the door dropped totally and the top came out of the runner and started tipping out. Now I have EDS meaning I dislocated joints easily but when I saw the door falling I just dived outside to stop it completely on adrenaline… and popped both shoulders. The rollers really needed replacing YEARS ago as the door is about 20 years old. Oh well, you live and learn.
Thanks for the EDS warning! My buddy & I both have it - will be extra careful changing rollers & watch out for tipping. Hope you were able to pop them back in & healed up quick!
So so helpful. Yours looks like the 2.4 x 2.1 I have. It's been stocking a but and I've been worried that the wheels might need replacing so thanks for this
Thank you for the video I have been having this problem since two weeks after installation I'm going to fix this your presentation was on point thank you again.
My door is extra large/wide and is so bad I broke the handle trying to close it. I have watched several videos on this subject and yours is by far the best. thank you for your time and clear instructions, new sub:)
Thanks for the insight but I'll most likely need several people to lift my glass door it's old and very heavy but you have inspired me if I could only remove it from the track I'd be able to repair it so for me it looks like I'll have to call in the professionals more money but the door is way too heavy for even two people Thanks for the information and video it was great
Shoot some WD40 on the housing to help make it easier to remove. Nylon wheel on a metal rail will not last long. Need to replace with a metal wheel and add some grease onto the bearings before installation for a longer life
Thank you for this video. really helped me to replace the wheels on a door. Had to take the entire security gate down in order to do so, but I did it! I had to bend the wings though, is that normal?
If the rollers are rusted and the adjustment screw doesn't work can I just remove the upper screw and hope the weight pushes the wheel up into the frame
