Aluminium sliding door rollers

Aluminum sliding glass doors are both beautiful and durable. Not only do these aluminum doors offer unmatched strength, but they also have a streamline frame that increases the viewing area from both sides. While aluminum door frames can last for decades, aluminum sliding door roller replacement may be required much sooner.

How Do Aluminum Sliding Door Rollers Work?

Aluminum sliding door wheels glide along the frame of the door, making it easy to open and close. Most aluminum sliding glass door rollers work effortlessly and quietly, offering the perfect balance of resistance (so the door doesn’t fly open and break) and smoothness. If you feel too much resistance or the aluminum sliding door wheels start to squeak, you can lubricate them using a store bought lubricant. Be sure to check if the track is also clear of dirt and debris which may be getting caught up on the rollers.

Tips for Aluminum Sliding Door Roller Replacement

If your sliding glass door isn’t moving properly even after you lubricate the wheels and clean the track, you may need to replace the old aluminum sliding glass door rollers with new ones. Aluminum sliding glass door roller replacement is a fairly easy DIY job for most homeowners.

First, you need to find the correct aluminum glass sliding door replacement wheels for your door. Not all aluminum sliding door rollers are the same. While the main components and functions are similar, some wheels are larger than others depending on the type of door. Most aluminum sliding glass door rollers use a single-assembly system. The best way to find the perfect match is to remove the old aluminum sliding glass door rollers and compare them to the new assembly before starting the installation process.

To this, you’ll need to remove the sliding doors completely to access the roller assembly. Once you do, remove and measure the entire piece including its height, length, and width. You also need to measure the diameter of the wheel. Compare these measurements to a new aluminum sliding door roller assembly and simply replace it using the provided screws.
