Help with Wood Sliding Door Rollers

A handy person from Evergreen, Co. says:

November 26, 2021

have two wood frame sliding doors with glass, replaced the roller assemblys last summer with the 81-018 style and construction... it appears the assemblies have failed....

am guessing the weight of the door probably is the issue, each door weighs around 200 pounds.

Would the 81-149 stainless assemblies carry the weight better... and what its weight limits

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi there! The weight capacity of the 81-149 is 150 pounds per roller, so a pair will carry up to 300 pounds. If your door is only 200 then that should be more than sufficient.
