Saloon sliding door rollers
Hi guys,
Anyone else experienced a L440 (mine is a 2006 build) saloon sliding door with flat spots on both rollers. Seems the previous owner may have allowed the rollers to become seized over time. We now have them rolling, but I can't find the Lagoon supplier or alternatives to replace mine.
Thanks in anticipation of positive feedback.

Re: Saloon sliding door rollers
No. I was unable to find a replacement roller so had a domestic roller door manufacturer make me some rollers. They cost only $15 each. You can look for any business that makes sliding doors for houses and they can make or supply. Good luck.
Lagoon have given me a price of A$280 (€180) per roller plus A$75 (€48) delivery for L400 door rollers. A little over the top, so I too will look into this with my local door guy.
Don't know what they look like but I make new replacements from Nylatron round stock for pulleys & other stuff. You should be able to make wheels if you can get to a lathe. I have even done them on my ShopSmith wood Lathe but go slowly.
