Hi,
I'm needing to replace the actual top track rail on my mirror doors, track groove worn through. What is the equivalent replacement and do I need to change the top guides for the new style rail. Thanks.

In addition to my request. I'm thinking I'd need to replace the top/bottom rails and get different guides. Is the SpacePro a good option. There's no other way to repair it that I can see.

Hello!

Thank you for reaching out to us. We aren't familiar with the Spacepro. Can you upload photos of the tracks and guides on your old doors? That would be the best way for us to help.

Photos of the rail and guide roller. The SpacePro would be a totally different track. It apparently an evolution of the oldStanley.

Thank you for the photos. We still carry the top Acme roller, the 23-017 and the 23-018A bottom door guide. For a suitable bottom track, see the 23-240, 23-241, and 23-242.

Unfortunately, we no longer have the top track. If you need the top track and live in Scotland, then I would go with Spacepro for a new complete track and roller set.

Hi thanks for the feedback. I think I'll need to go with the new Spacepro track and new guides option. Appreciate the part numbers for the original guides, might come in handy.
