Symptoms & checks
A heavy or dragging patio door
If your patio slider is stuck, noisy or takes extra effort to move, worn rollers may be involved. Debris, a damaged track or panel alignment can also create resistance; the symptom alone does not confirm a roller problem.
What we check
We inspect the roller assemblies, riding surface and panel height together before recommending adjustment or roller replacement.
Helpful to mention: Does the resistance continue across the whole opening, or happen at just one point?

Matching rollers to the existing patio panel
Replacement assemblies must suit the panel and its existing fittings. Wheel size, housing shape and panel requirements matter; similar-looking rollers are not automatically interchangeable.
On a multi-panel or pocket patio door, access and how the panels meet also affect the work. After the agreed repair, panel travel, height and latch engagement need to be checked together.
