Patio sliding glass doors are from the late 70's and I can't find a replacement. Would the 1-1/2" dia Roller And Axle Kit Product Code: 81-272 work. All needed is drill the old axles out and use new screws? Would Nylon wheels be better?
Thanks!

Hello! I think I can help with this. If you just wanted to replace the wheels then I think that our 81-272 kit is a great option. You would drill the old axles out, as you suspected. As for steel vs nylon, this is an argument we hear a lot. Steel wheels are stronger but since you live in Florida, corrosion may be an issue. Nylon wheels are weaker but corrosion is far less of a concern. It's really up to you. If you wanted to go with a nylon wheel, consider our 81-236 wheel and 81-310 axle set. |
