Home Sliding Door Rollers: Why High-Quality Rollers Are Best

Sliding Door Rollers: Why High-Quality Rollers Are Best

Your sliding door rollers are one of the most critical components of your door. The reason is simple. Your rollers, which sit at the bottom of a sliding door, are constantly in use.

Most people are not aware that their current door may have cheap plastic rollers. As you can imagine, your sliding door is pretty heavy.

The key thing helping your door slide smoothly are the rollers.

How to fix sliding door rollers

You may have noticed in the image at the top of this page how impossible it is to fix sliding door rollers.

The ‘How to fix sliding door rollers’ question can only be answered by saying you must replace them.

Look at the roller 2nd from the top left. It is completely gone. There is no way a door will roll after that.

But people do not realise how important their rollers are.

You see, if you do not replace your sliding door rollers as soon as possible, then they will likely do untold damage to your roller mechanism and track.

You need a sliding door roller replacement.

The good news is we have a number of sliding door roller replacement options available.

The need for high-quality sliding door rollers

However, the need for high-quality sliding door rollers far outweighs the case for settling with the cheap ones.

The cheap ones can disintegrate much faster and cost you so much more in the long run.

Not to mention the frustration that goes with having to constantly replace them.

Why are cheap and low quality sliding door rollers no good?

Before we jump into the problems with cheap sliding door rollers, let’s consider the amount of traffic you get through your sliding door.

If you have a busy household, your sliding door is constantly opening and closing.

The average sliding door will weight anywhere from 30kgs up to 100kgs for the really heavy duty ones.

Your rollers are trying to support that weight day after day, month after month, year after year.

Just think about the wear and tear on your door when you have young kids. During school holidays, your door is constantly opening and closing and that weight and pressure is being held together by your sliding door rollers.

If you have low quality sliding door rollers, they are going to disintegrate, chip and break off over time. Not to mention they will likely ruin your sliding door tracks, which will then need repairs as well.

Top 3 problems with cheap and low quality sliding door rollers

There are 3 main problems with using cheap and low-quality sliding door rollers.

They are:

  1. Peace of mind: If you have cheap rollers then you know it is just a matter of time before they break. You will constantly be thinking about when they will break, making the door impossible to open.
  2. Your family’s safety: You need to know your sliding door will line up properly with your locks. The challenge with cheap rollers is when they break, the door falls. As a result, the locks often do not line up. This is now a security risk to you and your family. You must get the door fixed ASAP if this is to happen and have your sliding door lock repaired.
  3. It is costing you more money in the long run: Cheap rollers always cost more in the long run. The time and effort required to fix the door every time they fail is way more expensive than using high-quality sliding door rollers the first time.

Yes, poor quality sliding door rollers bought from a Bunnings or local Mitre 10 hardware store would be fine for a while but not for long.

Also, they can break or malfunction at the worst possible moment and can, therefore, lead to an accident when least expected.

Why are high-quality sliding door rollers so important?

Unless you never have visitors in the house or you live alone and lead a solitary life, the best quality sliding door rollers should be your first choice.

Manufacturers of these first-class sliding door rollers are quick to warrant their products against any defects; a 5-15 year guarantee isn’t unheard of.

With all these considerations, there’s absolutely no reason why you should settle for anything less.

With the ease of operation offered by quality sliding door rollers and the fact you’re not paying for the price of a major appliance or apparatus, the answer is clear.

At Lock Roll and Tracks, we use the highest quality sliding door rollers on the market in Australia. We identify your door type, check the weight of the door and install the highest quality door rollers for your door.

Testimonials

We used Lock Roll and Tracks services to fix several doors in our unit. We were extremely pleased with the service provided and value for money. All our door slide with just one finger. I cannot believe it! Will definitely recommend, thanks guys.

Sydney.

Thanks to the team at LRT Sliding door repairs! I was really impressed with the speed and care taken when carrying out work on my two glass doors. Your business cards have been handed out to everyone I know! Cheers

I've had problems with a sliding door ever since we moved in three years ago. It grew worse until it eventually didn’t open at all. I phoned LRT and to my pleasant surprise they came out the very next day!

Very polite and quick

Gordon

The young man who came out and fixed my door did an amazing job. He thoroughly disassembled the door and replaced all the broken and worn parts. An hour or so later the door was working perfectly. Gordon has given me a sliding door that will work beautifully for years and because I don't have to replace it with a new door, they saved me thousands.

Congratulations LRT

Anthony

Our balcony sliding door has been very difficult to open since we moved in. It had deteriorated to the point where I was unable to move it. I began to research the cost of a new sliding door and come across LRT website. They were very helpful over the phone and fixed my door for a fraction of the price of a new one.
