How to Replace Shower Door Rollers

The shower door rollers allow the shower door to be opened without difficulty. After a while, the shower door rollers can become worn out and will need replacement. When that is needed, you can use the following steps when replacing your rollers. This is a repair that can be DIY, so long as you get the right type of shower door rollers and a screwdriver.

While replacing the shower door rollers, it is necessary to check and see what type of rollers that your shower door uses. There are two types of shower door rollers, which are a flat edge and a round edge. The edge types are what fit into the roller groove, so it is vital to match the right rollers with the type that is going to be replaced for your shower door.

Step 1 – Buy the Replacement Shower Door Rollers

Buy the replacement rollers for your shower door from a hardware center or home improvement store. You need to make certain to match the type of shower door rollers with the type that is at this time installed on your shower doors. If you are not sure whether your shower door has a round edge or a flat edge shower door roller, carry on to Step 2. With that information, you can revisit the home improvement or hardware store and buy the correct shower door rollers.

Step 2 – Take out the Existing Shower Door Rollers

Take out the shower door and haul it off the track that it is attached to. Then lift and pull outward to remove the door from the shower door frame. Remove the shower door rollers using a screwdriver, after removing the shower door from the shower door frame. Merely loosen the screw and pull the roller off of the shower door.

Step 3 – Replace the Shower Door Rollers

Position the replacement shower door rollers on the shower door and then fasten them with the screwdriver. You should ensure that the rollers are fastened firmly to the shower door and are not wobbling or loose.

Step 4 – Place the Shower Door Back in the Frame

After putting the replacement shower door rollers in place, take the shower door and snap it back in place on the track in the shower door frame. You should make sure that the rollers are in contact with the track and pull the door along the frame to make certain that it is in place. You can use spray lubricant in the tract to facilitate the movement of the door in the frame if necessary. It is also worthwhile that you should use a spray lubricant for the new shower door roller that you have installed.
