I just ordered 4 Peachtree Patio Door Roller Assembly Product Code: 81-112. They will be installed in doors at Ocean City MD so they will be subject to a slight bit of salt air. What form of lubrication should I use before installing these. Oil, silicone, white lithium grease, something else?

We have a lubricant that you may be able to use. Our 75-077 slider track lubricant has been used to help with the 81-112 door roller assembly. See what you think.

Sorry, I was referring to a lubricant for the ball bearings in the roller.

Aha, thanks for clarifying. Sorry about that. I would suggest using a type of grease lubricant, possibly a spray grease in a can with a straw. That way you can use the straw to get into the bearing in the wheel. Do not use grease or oil on the track itself. These type of lubricants can collect dirt and debris. That is why we suggest using the 75-077 Slicker or you can use a type of silicone spray that will dry to the touch. But on the bearings itself, it should be okay.
