Tandem Rollers for Lincoln Sliding Door

Home Owner from Warren, Ohio

Jun 1, 2011 2:51 pm

I am looking to replace the Tandem Rollers for my Lincoln Sliding glass door. It is about 20 years old and has become increasing harder to slide open and closed.

Do you carry replacement tandem rollers for this Lincoln Door?
What information do I need?
Part Numbers or just a picture to measure and match up with your selection?
As of yet I have not taken the door off to view the type of roller needed.

Thanks

Warner

Hey there, Warner! I'm happy to help you look into this, but I'm not certain which roller would be best for this particular door. I'll need to see the original first.

Would that be possible? We specifically need you to remove it from the door entirely and show it to us from a few different angles. Written dimensions would also be a huge help. Thanks!

Dave,
Thanks for the quick reply.

I may have to wait until the temperature subsides as I will have my AC on for the next few days.

Then I will photograph it as well as get some measurents before recontacting you.

Thanks again.

Dave,
I removed the Tandem Rollers and took some pictures. It is a Truth 30410, but I more confused about the correct replacement after reading some other Swisco customer comments.
Is is a 81-018, 81-149, 81-137 or a 13232???

Please look at the photos and advise.
Also, how much is the shipping for 2 rollers?
Thanks,
Warner B

Thank you for submitting your photos! These are a huge help. I am confident that our 81-018 tandem door roller is your best option to repair this door. Please look it over and see what you think.

Thank you Dave.

That 81-018 was my first thought.

Just order 2 new Tandem Rollers and some Teflon
Slicker.

Great Customer service. Will let you know if
I have any difficulties.

Dave,
I put the tamdem rollers in yesterday and they fit perfectly. Works as if was nearly new.

The 81-018 were the correct pair.

Thanks for your great customer service.

You're quite welcome, Warner! I am very glad to hear the rollers worked out for you.

Thanks so much for the business and please let us know if we can offer any further assistance.

Dave,
As I told you the 81-018 tandem roller works great but while replacing them I noticed the sliding patio door track was worn, nearly flat in one place.

In reading Swisco online discussions it seems the 6'sliding door track is a quick solution to ease the opening and closing even more.

Would this be the best solution for me?
Is it compatible with the 81-018?

Discussions say to fit it over the current track and place a set screw on either side.
Is this enough to hold it on?
Does it need any adhesive or crimping?
Just 2 set screws on the ends?

Please see 2 pictures attached.
Thanks.
Warner

Yes, I've used the stainless steel track covers like our 80-102 with great success in projects like this. I recommend that you first smooth down the rough parts on your track before you install the track cover to make sure it has an even fit. I know one installer that fills the dips in the old track with epoxy, but that can get messy. It's not a method I prefer.

My 20 yr old wood sliding door was binding up, and had just about given up trying to fix it
I was able to find out who the manufacture was on my 20 year old windows, and did an internet search on Lincoln windows and doors. Just by chance probably, found SWISCO, and what was hopefully the right bottom slider roller hdw.
The parts I ordered were the exact fit. Easy to install, GTEAT service !
