Thanks for the very clear video. We went from baffled to 'expert' in one go. 😊

Best “diy video of the year award”! Thank you!

Fixed my in-laws' slider door today in less than an hour after watching your video. Thanks a million!!! And well done.

Brother.. I know this is 2 y/o but TODAY it was a life saver. Thank you for sharing!!

This video saved us time & money. It also gave us the confidence to attempt the repair while leaving the door panel in. I really appreciate the time you took out of your day to help a brother out.

I was close to calling a sliding glass door repairman. I'm usually a diy dude and pretty handy at most things. My glass doors are humongous so I was intimidated not to break the glass or worse. Your video helped me sooooooo much and I really appreciate it. Bought 4 rollers at Lowe's for two of my doors for $18 bucks. Thanks again.

This was the perfect video at the perfect time. I had watched other videos and they all involved taking the door out. My problem was that our door is huge and far too heavy for me to lift out by myself (I've got no one to help me). So, I did this technique yesterday and it turned out great. I must say it was a little scary taking the rails off, but following these instructions gave me the confidence to do it. Thanks for a great tutorial!

Watching this video motivated me to replace our worn glass door rollers. Worked like a charm. Keeping the rubber gasket in place when reinstalling the frame back onto the glass was the most challenging part. Awesome time saver! Thank you.

If you have only one person changing rollers, this is another great way to do it. Thanks for sharing, what it took you 5 years to figure out. A good man for sure!

Many thanks for your very careful, clear instructions

You are marvelous. Your easy step by step manner is a treat. After seeing what goes into fixing a sloping glass pane - I will eventually call the glass company. Right now I have a small piece of cork in the top of the track stopping that gap effect. Not the best but if I got out the rubber mallet and then played around with the weather stripping I would need a new door. Thanks anyway for a beautiful job explaining what needs to happen. And I couldn't use silcone spray to have the door slide smoothly as the door that tilts would slide and lock me outta the house. M.

Good Job... Excellent Instructions. Thank YOU

Thank you for posting. I was able to fix my issue with my door. The wheels do not need replacement, but this helped me adjust the wheel heights

Worked perfectly on my aluminum door from the mid 1980s. Thank you.

Thank you. I watched your video as I was going to replace wheels on a patio door tomorrow. I have always taken the door off and you just taught me how to do it better.

Big BIG thanks for this tutorial!!! I had tried fixing my slider a few months ago and another video said I needed to take out the stationary glass AND then the slider. I tried that but then was afraid of possibly breaking the glass. So a few days ago I called a glass guy and he said about $200 to replace the rollers. I had set up an appointment but then happened to find your video. I followed all instructions and was able to replace both rollers for $15! And with a feeling of accomplishment! All the tips helped too, especially making sure the door is lined up with the wall so that it closes correctly. One thing I would add to all your tips (that helped me at least) was when I'm hitting the frame to come off, I was hitting real hard and it wasn't going any further. So I started hitting it slightly further up the frame towards the top and that did it! Thanks again!!

Thank you for this! I did it yesterday now it works again!🤗 I almost gave up because I couldn't take the door out, haha 👍

Nice, always took door out also. Thanks for sharing

I almost started removing both my sliding door and my fixed pane to do the roller replacement (as some other videos showed) but then I decided to look on KZfaq a bit further and came upon your video. This shortcut worked perfectly for me and saved me a ton of time. It also saved me from having to get help from a friend to lift our huge door. Can’t thank you enough. New rollers are just what our slider needed - WD-40 wasn’t cutting it anymore. The old rollers developed flat spots and were caked with dirt and dog hair. Works so much better now.

Thanks man. I was looking at mine yesterday and I had no idea you could just remove the frame like that. Duh. That does immensely simplify things. So glad I watched this video!

Can’t thank you enough for this. Appreciate your time in passing this tip along!!

I agree with everyone else... best video I have seen for this project, hands down. Thorough yet concise instructions, showing the entire step as its being explained all in real time. The perfect tutorial. I am soooo glad I found your video. You're awesome.

Thank you for showing us this way to approach a project like this. I’ll let you know how it works out for me! 👍

This is so much easier than removing the door! Thanks for the video!

That's a much-needed shortcut man. Many thanks!!!

After watching several vids that didn't address my problem at all, I finally stumbled over this. Thank you so much.

Perfect video - not too long, but covered the important parts. The only thing I wasn't completely clear on was whether you were using silicone spray on the metal side of the track, or the weatherstripping. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for tip! I was able to do my 96inch aluminum door all by myself with some basic tools. You saved me so much money!

Great , I have a problem with my sliding door and has metal security bars outside ,and I thought , it going to cost me a fortune to fix it , you made my day, thanks God , and thank you.

Great video. Thanks was going to replace the entire door until I seen this video.

Thanks for the awesome shortcut! Can’t wait to try it out!

A huge thanks for this video. I’ve been needing to do this for at least the last two years. More recently my glass sliding door feels like a lead weight. I had a handyman come out and look at it and he said I just needed to clean my track and didn’t charge me anything for the service call. So I did just that like I had in the past and obviously that wasn’t the solution. After securing the two replacement wheels from Home Depot along with a silicone spray, I was able to knock this job out in about 45 minutes. I was also lucky to have just the right size block of wood to separate the frame from the glass which was quite challenging. A few good strikes with my rubber melet and it came loose. My glass door slides as smooth as ice now and I saved myself a few hundred bucks in the process thank you again.

Very nicely explained with caution tips. Very easily done. I feel confident now. Many Thanks

Just wanted to say a super thank you for this great video; worked perfectly and for a total cost of $8.00 for two 475C rollers at Lowe's!!! My 20 yr. old Nu-Air slider door now rolls smoother and easier than with the original roller, Amazing!! I replaced my Nu-Air kitchen patio door's roller kit pair today in under 1 hr., including using the silicone spray and shop vac to clean the tracks. Worked beautifully doing exactly what you said and saved me the $100 charge to have a patio door Tech come to my home!! Thanks again!!! Robert

All the other YT videos I've seen have you removing the door. I can't remove ours since the lip is too big on the inside, and the stationary doors in the way on the outside. I love that you showed us how to just remove the side molding, genius! Our door now opens and closes with one finger, and since we are trying to sell our house, that is a very big deal. Thank you!!!! 👏

You are a genius. Saved my back from breaking💖

Dude seriously thanks so much!!! I have a original rollers in a house that’s over 30 years I’m replacing them this weekend I waited way to long been forcing the door open for years LOL thank you so much man this is how will be doing it!!!

Very simple well explained instructions clearly spoken. Thank you

Fantastic method! Something peculiar about the installation of my stationary panel is preventing it from being removed. I was at a loss until I found your video. You da real MVP!

You have made my life much easier. Thanks for an excellent video.

Very well done! Good camera angles, good explanation. I should have done this years ago, but didn't want to disassemble the track and take the entire door off.

Thank you so much!! We have almost given up and were going to ask for professional work. You saved us a lot of money!!!

Best video out so far that tells you how to replace it without taking the whole 2 windows apart. Thank you

Great information, thank you for sharing!!!!!!!

I was about to replace the patio door , thank you, saving 2k here 😂

Brilliant, thanks for making it so easy to understand.

Thank you for posting this. I wasn’t able to pull the wheels because they seem to be rusted to the door or this door had an extra screw. However, I was able to lube the wheels which was great because they were frozen on both sides.

YOU ARE THE MAN!!! That was an Excellent class! Unfortunately for me . A door repair company charged me a lot for that job. Thanks again...

Best video I've seen so far on KZfaq regarding this topic. Thank you! This was very helpful.

Thanks for the video! After watching it, I was still a little hesitant due to the banging next to glass, but after I did it, it wasn't that bad. I had a really old one-wheeler from the '70s. Now it's just like what you showed here. And my door is wider.

DONE! I 💖 learning how the pros do things. I've been a Harley mechanic for 28 years, and I appreciated it when my mentors showed me their way of doing the job. Thanks again! 🤘😊👍

Cool easy enough thanks for sharing your thoughts and great videos

Thank you so much I just replaced rollers on sliding door using your instructions I tried before and none of the videos on KZfaq had the type of doors I have. It was very easy without taking the door off. My roller assembly was different it had tabs that stuck into square holes but I just pried the frame enough with a screwdriver and it popped out! I went to ace hardware to find a new assembly but they were all wrong but they had a 2 pack of just the wheels the same size I popped the old one out and the new one in and didn’t have to find the exact one. Once again I thank you 🎉

Couldn't take my 20 yr old door apart at the panel,, so I had to look at other vids to see how to take out the door. Had to take the rollers out to see who had them, as I couldn't tell what it looked like without taking them out. Since I needed it right away I found them at Homedepot. 1 1/4 in with the Rounded hole for the screw. 8/12/20

There was no way that there was enough clearance at the top to be able to lift my door out of the frame like ALL the other videos show and I had all but given up on being able to fix it myself. Thank you so much! You saved me a bunch of money

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to record and post this video! I followed your instructions and it worked great! Once I pulled out one set of the wheels I found a matching one at a local hardware store and bought two sets in order to replace both sets on the lower side of the door. I also noted missing rubber door stops, one of which was jammed into one of the wheels. I found similar ones at the local hardware store and silicon sealed them into place. The door slides so easily now that I swear it's power assisted! The new rubber stoppers mean that the door stops exactly where it should and does not impact the metal frame, now the latch even works better as the closed position is correct. Again, many thanks for taking the time!

Guess what I'm doing tomorrow! 👍 I'd watched another channel do it the hard way, and I was dreading it. Now I'm all giddy like a school girl 🤣 and looking forward to it!

Great help...I have a door that I wrestle with just like it....now I know why and better yet how to fix it....thank you so much.

I've been searching for your video for weeks! Great job!

Thanks for the real easy shortcut, love it.

Thank you for this! I had no idea. I was planning on changing the whole sliding door because the wheel broke

Oh wow, this is just the video I needed to watch. Thank YOU!!

Hey, I just wanted to say, "Thank you so much for your video!" I was able to fix my elderly Mother-In-Law's back patio sliding glass door. I've never taken one of these doors apart before and your video was a lifesaver. Thanks again & take care!!! 😀

Great video. Concise and succinct. Clear explanations and good camera shots, no waste of time. Very helpful, added to favorites and subscribed.

Great solution! I could not remove my door due to the way they constructed frame! Thanks!

Thank you for this video..you totally simplified my day.

Excellent job thanks!!!😊

Thank you 👍 from Athens Greece - you solved a long term problem of my old house 😀

Great video, simple yet very effective method.

This is by far the best video I have watched on sliding glass door wheel replacement. I recommend lubricating the wheel assembly before the installation to prolong the life of the bearings.

Woaaw so easy, thank you for making my life easier, 🙏🏼 I was looking on replacing my door thank you

Thank you so much for great video ! I was ready take door out completely ,but its hard to do by myself, this is much easy,! Thank You!!

I have an 8ft tall slider door and it was getting difficult to open and close. I wasn’t sure what rollers I’d need so I took one off and purchased new ones at Home Depot. It’s not a difficult job at all and it slides like new. Thanks so much for this video. It saved me a headache.

Awesome thank you so much. I have been dragging door for 4 years. Many handyman gave me quote of 500$+. It took me trip to HD and 30 min.

You're my hero. I've seen several videos on trying to fix this and it only took a year to finally come across yours. Our slider is the way we come in and out all the time and I was about to pull the whole thing off like you said. God bless, now I can sleep easy tonight.

Thank you so much you make my life a lot easier 🙏😀

very informative, i'll use this info in the future i'm sure. thanks.

This was perfect. Thank you for taking the time to put this together🤘

Great video, thank you! Worked on my 1992 vintage aluminum slider and now it glides like new.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed.

Best video. This will save me time for sure. Thank you for sharing bro.

Nicely made and narrated video brother... thank you

Super helpful and informative video! Saved me $300. Thanks You!

Wtf...ive been taking the 150lb door off, and now you posted this, thank you for sharing this video!

Made the job easy, thanks for posting!

Awesome! Looks like my exact brand of door, even. Made my day, cause it's a double-glazed 48-incher -- was NOT looking forward to that. But now I am!

Thanks man!! Thought I was going to have to take the doors out.

This is the first comment I ever left on utube cuz it's absolutely a life saver!!! I had already started hammering away at the tracks and thought about just whacking everything because there's just no way to take the 40 years old aluminum door off to replace rollers. I had no idea what rollers were inside so I follow this video and first removed the side frame then used long nose pliers to pull out the old rollers. Used a pry bar to prop up the door to make it easier to pull out the old rollers. The old rollers were Prime Line D1525 with 1 1/2 inch rollers. I actually used D1552 with 1 1/4 inch tandem rollers which I just push into place. Put everything back and the door works like new! I am sure the contractor and his crew would appreciate it when they start remodeling my kitchen in 2 days lol! 6 thumbs up!

OMG so much easier than removing the whole door, and the stationary door!!

Good job , great information thank you for sharing.

Very smart trick, You are a rocket science man.

Great video! I have an even easier fix. I watched a bunch of videos and was stressing about taking door Off and removing frame etc. I had to use my whole body to open and close the door. While trying to adjust the wheels, I finally noticed that the wheels wern't on the track at all Check that first! DUH ! I did clean and silicone the track. Okay not be able to open with one finger but now it's his one hand!

I really appreciate your video so much. After I watched this video, I was very successful to replace the patio roller.

Oh wow!!! Thank you ... so easy!!!

Excellent video

Nice job with good information. Thanks

Thank you so much I thought we needed a new sliding glass door :)

Thank you so much. Last time I completely removed the door and it was a nightmare this technique looks so much better!

Rockstar! i need to replace my wheels and always took the door completely out, def going to try this way. Plus i didnt know about the raising of the wheels and vertical daylight leveling trick- thanks bud

My particular door required a different approach. The rollers had a bolt that was under the glass panel. So I had to remove the frame bottom completely to release the rollers...your video did help though. And now we are back together and fixed. Thanks
