Replacing all rollers for two very heavy wood and glass Norco patio sliders. What is the weight recommendation for the 81-018?

Thanks for contacting us. You may want to consider our stainless steel 81-149. It was tested to be able to hold 150 pounds per roller.

Appreciate the suggestion of the 81-149. However, as they are 3X the cost of the 81-018, I'd like to know the weight capacity of the less expensive rollers before deciding to upgrade that much. My doors are wood not vinyl but well below 300 lbs. each. Thanks

Thanks for getting back to us! Both rollers actually have the same weight capacity. Less than 300 pounds should be okay since you would use two rollers per door.
