Andersen® E-Series, A-Series, 400 Series, 200 Series, and 100 Series gliding patio doors use rollers located within the door panel to glide open and close smoothly.

How to Identify and Order Replacement Gliding Patio Door Rollers

The operating door panel, the panel that moves, on gliding patio doors uses two (2) rollers on the underside of the panel, as shown in the illustration below. Gliding patio door rollers may become worn over time. If your rollers produce noise while opening or closing the patio door, or sliding the patio door has become difficult, inspect the rollers to determine if replacements are needed. More information can be found below.

Let's Get Started

1. Inspect Patio Door Rollers for Damage

Important: The patio door panel must be removed to inspect the rollers.

1. Remove the patio door panel.
   • For removal instructions for your patio door model, see Panel Replacement Instructions for Gliding Patio Doors.
2. With the patio door panel removed, inspect the rollers.
• If they are difficult to spin, chipped, cracked, or worn, then replacement rollers are needed. You can order replacement rollers below, then see Install and Adjust Replacement Rollers on Andersen® Gliding Patio Doors for replacement instructions.
3. With the patio door panel still removed, check the frame sill track cap, which is the part of the frame in which the rollers sit, for denting or bad scratches.
   • If there is damage, the sill track cap should be ordered in addition to the bottom rollers. Contact Andersen® Windows and Doors to order a replacement sill track cap.

If there is no visible damage, replacing rollers might not be necessary to improve the door's operation. See Adjust Operating Panel on Andersen® Gliding Patio Doors for additional instructions.
