We have over 50 different types in stock. To ‘identify’ which roller you need you can check the doors to see if there is a manufacturer. More times than not, the manufacturer is not named. The next way to identify the brand is too look at your windows, likely there is a brand name on the window lock and this will be the same manufacturer as your sliding glass doors. If both these methods fail, we will need to come out to identify it.

We also see get calls to replace a track that is beaten up from the rollers. While replacing the track is possible, it is a complicated and costly repair. We do have an answer! A stainless steel cap, called a track cap,’ can be applied over your track. This is a band-aid repair, but we see people get 5-10 more years out of their doors by adding a track cap.
