FAQ
We’ve put together some of the most commonly asked questions from our customers… and we thought they might help you too!
The safest way is to remove your existing part and compare its measurements to the sizes listed on our product page.
Use the photos and diagrams as a guide to match the shape and fixing style as well.
If you are unsure, you can send us clear photos and measurements and we will help identify the correct replacement.
Many rollers, guides, seals and basic hardware can be installed by a confident home handyman using standard tools.
However, locks, complex hardware and very heavy doors may be better handled by a qualified tradesperson if you are unsure.
If you are not confident, it is always safer to get help.
In many cases, stiff or noisy sliding doors are caused by worn rollers, especially if the wheels are flat, cracked or rusty.
It is also important to check and clean the track and look for dents or heavy wear.
If the track is badly damaged, you may need to replace both the rollers and the track for the best result.
Good-quality rollers typically last around five to fifteen years, depending on the weight of the door, how often it is used, the condition of the track and whether it is in a coastal or harsh environment.
Choosing the right material for your conditions can help maximise the lifespan.
Measure the overall height and width of the part, plus any important details such as wheel diameter, wheel thickness and fixing hole positions.
Use a ruler or calipers for more accuracy.
If you cannot remove the part fully, take detailed photos from different angles and we can often identify it visually.
You should measure the overall height and width of the roller housing.
Measure the wheel diameter and wheel thickness.
Take note of how the roller mounts into the door or window, including any fixing holes or clips.
These measurements can then be compared directly to the size diagram on each roller product page.
Most DIY replacements can be done with common tools such as screwdrivers, a drill, a tape measure and sometimes a rubber mallet.
Track replacements may require cutting tools so you can trim the new track to length.
Always follow safety precautions and ask a professional for help if you are unsure.

Nylon wheels run smoothly and quietly and suit most residential doors and windows.
Steel wheels are stronger and better for very heavy doors but can be a bit noisier.
Stainless steel wheels are ideal for coastal or high moisture areas because they resist rust and corrosion much better than standard steel.
For coastal or high moisture locations, we recommend stainless steel or specifically labelled coastal grade components.
These are much more resistant to rust and corrosion than standard steel parts.
