Awesome, gonna do that for my door. My house is 52 y ears old. The tracks are worn, did not even know there's such a thing as a cap for it. Thank you for your time in putting the 3 parts together. I am printing stills so I can quick refer to this when I do the job. Again great job on the videos.

You did an awesome job of not only explaining every step, but showed your missteps too. You have given us a way to do it ourselves. Thanks for doing this video.

Hey one of the easiest video to follow. Covered all the basics. Great video for DIY people.

Thank you so much for this video. Finally got my 50 year old 9' sliding door rollers fixed. We've tried before without success, wrong rollers didn't know which one to buy and didn't know how to fix it. Got it done and it slides like new. I found the rollers at our local home depot.

Great video. Hadn't thought about how the roller adjustment could be affecting the alignment of the door lock to the outside frame, nor did I realize that the tracks could actually be replaced. Your down to earth style and willingness to show your missteps will be extremely helpful to anyone who is attempting the same type of repair. Thanks!

Show-off! with the pinky action! I have an aluminum sliding door with the same issues. I'm gonna throw my back out trying to open mine. will attempt to disassemble and check the type of roller. Thanks for the great video. Also glad to see someone actually FIX something in this age of throw-away goods...

This man just saved me 3600 dollars plus installation of a brand new sliding glass door!

This is the best video on this by far. Thanks very much.

Thanks for comment. I hoped it helped you!

Thank you. I’m renewing an old house that also has these old style aluminum sliding glass doors and was trying to figure out how to get the rollers out. Your video gave me the answer and confidence to tackle the job. As well as a parts source since I didn’t see anything that match the rollers in HD. Thank you again!

Hello DIYFellow. Thank you from Wrightsville Georgia , late June 2019. This is one of the very best top videos I have seen put together on any repair job. You didn't miss covering any part of the job and you were very explanatory , with excellent detail in explaining the small stuff. I have an older sliding door and I had to force it shut last winter . The wasp nests have covered the opening cavity (outside) of this second floor balcony sliding glass door. So I'm waiting until winter to do my repair. I cant reach the outside of this balcony door for repair , except by opening it from the inside. I noticed that a narrow felt strip was hanging from the top of my sliding door on the exposed end , inside the house. So , Ive got to research that as well. What a superb presentation job you did. I also would like to thank you for not cursing or using other offense words , during your video. It was appropriate for my wife and children to view and learn from as well. Your a great guy. Thanks again...........

Aww man thank you so much. I appreciate your comment. Good luck on your repair!

Great series on sliders! It was really helpful watching you overcome your mis-steps and complete the project!!

Wonderful video. Old SGD, in Florida, and step by step. PERFECT!!!!

Great video. I just moved to Florida and have some doors that need new rollers. Thanks for your help.

very clearly explained with the mishaps that you came across which you did not hide . Thanks

Hi DIYFello. Thank you for the best video, so detail and easy to understand to fix the patio glass door.

awesome we have an old style sliding door, excellent explanation

Awesome. I was going to just replace my rollers and didn't realize I could fix the track also (which seems to be in worse shape then the rollers) thanks

Really Great job. It looks like a lot of work but absolutely worth it with the pinky open. I have the white doors so it’ll probably be a lot easier to replace but it was interesting to see that you can put a new track runner on the bottom which can often be a big problem but she wants to change that whole track. Nice work thanks

Thanks, man. That’s pretty much what I figured. It’s great to see someone take apart theirs first. Beats my usual method of “what’s this screw do?”

Excellent presentation. Thank you and God bless you.

Hey, that was great - I feel confident to replace my rollers now - loved your inquisitive dog's cameo appearance too :-)

Those were such detailed and easily understandable videos. I’m pretty sure those are the one I have. Thanks so much!

thanks for posting i have the same door issues over here in Australia cheers mate !!

I thank you, and my wife thanks you even more! It looks like I have the exact same door, and I think the rollers are completely shot and the door is just resting on the frame. I'll be doing this repair soon.

Best video so far, even the door looks like mines. Swisco has window part too that I order before. Freaking difficult to do this in winter time.

Troppo dettagliato!! Ti ringrazio!!

Got fresh for the outro ✊🏾😎 Great Series

Awesome, very helpful video.

Thanks you great video and the "few" mistakes made it better.

very helpful!! thank you

Great Job! Thank you for explaining and focusint the camara for us to see clear. Assume!! 1

Awesome videos! I'll let you know how it works out for me!

Thanks, I am going down to fix sliding door in units.

Excellent job on taking us through the process, excellent results of a smooth opening door, but I do have a question, the rollers you replaced didn’t seem damaged, do you think a simple proper adjustment, cleaning and lubing might have done the trick?

Dude..... you ROCK!!!

Awesome video! Thank you so much!

My Rollers are mangled, thank you for the steps

Well done thank you!!

Thanks for the video man good work. Hell you could even paint the door white while it’s out and put a new handle on it. Nobody would know the difference. Could be good when you are trying to increase your house value

Yes it did help so thank you so much

Thanks for the video, I have very simular doors hear in Delray Beach, can you kindly post a link were I can get the rollers and track?

Thank You

Thank you!

Well done.

Thanks

Thank you for this video showing how to replace the rollers. How do you know what kind of rollers‘s to get? Or is it necessary to take out the old rollers first to match them up?

thank you !

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!

Thanks man

Good video. I too appreciate you showing your "oops!" It shows us what to watch out for. One question though ... when you put the "cover" over the track it will obviously RAISE the door a bit. Will there ever be the chance that the clearance will not allow for that extra track cover? THANKS!

@diyfellow1627

How you doing Paul? Thanks for the comment! Once you put the cover on the track it will not raise the door that much. The track cover is pretty thin. Remember that the rollers always could be adjusted to go up or down. So if by any chance the doors are to high simply adjust both rollers with the set screw to desired height and you will be good to go. Hope this helped!

Do you ever have to replace the entire track?

Thanks a bunch for this diy, I'll be tackling this for my 6 sliding doors, my wife will think i'm the MAN if I can pull it off. lol.

Well, It's been 10 months since you posted this... Where you able to do it ?

Are you putting a new track over the old one?

I just removed that big screw..and the old wheels and housing fell off. I put in the new ones. Took me 10 or 15 minutes I guess. Why did you remove all the siding?

How did you find out the rollers part number??

Ahhhh yeahhh doesent that feel goood heh. Nice job bloke, do you do PD fittings in Australia? :-)

You made it easy to understand, thanks. Would you happen to have track covers to purchase instead of finding it on Amazon?

He mentioned the site Swisco where he got the rollers. They also have the rail covers as well, and cheaper than what I actually found on Amazon.

have you ever changed the lock on that same door?

I live in Hialeah. Please come help me. If I try to do it myself my mom will go crazy yelling, “Eso es trabajo de hombre!”, and then something will happen because of that damn mal de ojo 😂

do you have the link for the cover from Amazon?

Excellent detailed video. Learned a lot. never seen a better video. Thanks. Did you just slide the aluminum track cover over the old track? if yes, from did you buy the slide cover track? Where do you live in Florida.? I could not find your email. please give me your email. thanks.

How close are you to North Port lol you said if we have any questions...can you come over and help us 😂

Found your set of videos very helpful,you said you got the track from Amazon ,can you be a little more precise ,as I have the exact same door as you have

Hi,what is the name of the company to buy my sliding door rollers online,,thanks Joel from Miami

Why are some using epoxy glue and others silicon? I understand some like to glue down the guide.

Good video. I am going to a job for a client this morning and watched your video first! I think I am now more prepared for the job now. Thanks. And you helped us by explaining your mistake. Mistakes are normal. A pointer from someone with speech and theater, training experience, Save a lot of time by not having to say all the time "what we are going to do now is go ahead and....." for many steps. It';s okay to just say, "Next, we adjust....", or "Now, I will remove the...." See the difference? It is more concise. More professional.

nice video but the audio needs work.

Not Amazon basically either you bought them from Amazon or you didnt

Weak brass + plastic... used to manufacture a heavy-duty, temperature & weather resistant, high stress, critical functioning component. Yeah, that should last...

Your replacing a bead cap , horrible idea. Won't last in most applications. Replace entire bottom track. Or you'll be doing it later, anyway.

Dude, excellent tutorial. I've been in maintenance and repair for 30+ years, and for whatever reason, always forget how to get my sliding glass door off. My house was built in '62, and is exactly like yours, so this helped a lot. Good refresher course for me. Keep up the great work.

Very helpful. Thank you
