How do I replace door rollers or runners on a shower enclosure?
Rollers enable smooth movement of sliding doors. Over time they may seize or wear flat, causing grinding or sticking. If your door is dragging or scraping, is creating a grinding noise or appears unevenly aligned, this can be fixed by taking the following steps:
- Lift the door off its tracks (usually by depressing the spring clips on bottom rollers).
- Unscrew old rollers from the glass panel.
- Clean mounting holes and edges of the glass.
- Fit new rollers using the supplied washers and screws — do not overtighten.
- Re-hang the door, ensuring rollers sit properly in the top and bottom tracks.
- Adjust tension or height if necessary so the door glides evenly.
Tip: Lubricate rollers periodically with silicone spray to extend life.
