Hey everybody Do you find that sometimes your sliding door
is incredibly difficult to open?
It won't slide properly or you think it might be caught on a stone?
You clean out the track and it's still not working!
Often the problem will be the rollers on the bottom of the door.
Did you know that you can change those rollers?
And you can do it yourself.
Let's find out how it's done.
First off, it's a very simple process of getting the door out.
You might think it's there forever.
Sometimes you'll have to adjust the rollers on the bottom but sometimes it's as easy as
lifting the door up, pulling the door out, far enough to allow the top to come out of it's track as well.
Just like this.
Pull the bottom out.
Then you'll see how the top is now free to also pull out.
Then get the door in a place to see what condition those rollers are in.
You can see how the rollers are broken.
One of the flanges is gone from the topside and it's all gunked up with paint.
To get it out we remove the adjustment screw.
Then remove the fixing screw.
Then slide the roller assembly out of it's opening.
It will come out in one piece.
Now you can see how bad the roller was.
These rollers are available at all good hardware outlets.
This one cost about $9.
You can see how good the new one is.
Put it back in exactly the same way as the old one came out.
Fixing screw first into the old hole.
There is a hole in the top of the roller cage to allow the fixing screw to accurately align.
Let's see how the adjustment screw works.
The roller comes in and out as you work the screw.
To put the door back in place we need that roller out of the way.
Let's get back into the installation process.
Now that the new rollers are in.
It's a simple matter of re-fitting the door.
The process is simply the reverse of what we did before.
Top first into it's track, then the bottom onto it's track.
Get a screw driver and we'll adjust the rollers
The last thing to do is to make sure that any locks are aligned properly.
Make sure the door aligns perfectly with the door jamb.
Then make sure any locks and fittings line up.
All done!
