FAQs
What material are these shower door rollers made from?
They are made from a robust zinc alloy, which provides durability and resistance to corrosion in a bathroom environment.
Can these rollers be used on any shower door?
No, these rollers are specifically designed for glass shower doors that have two central holes spaced 26mm apart, and a glass thickness of 5-7mm.
Are these rollers suitable for straight shower screens?
Yes, while they feature a swivel action ideal for curved and quadrant showers, they can also be used on straight shower screens provided the compatibility specifications are met.
How do I adjust the roller height?
Each roller has an adjustment screw on the top that allows you to move it up or down for precise door alignment. Turning the screw adjusts the height.
What is the wheel diameter and thickness?
The wheel diameter is 25mm, and the wheel thickness is 5.6mm.
Do I need any special tools to install these?
Typically, you will need a screwdriver (likely Phillips head) to remove old screws and install the new rollers. Ensure you have a way to safely support the shower door during installation.
What is the distance from the glass face to the wheel?
The distance from the glass face to the wheel is 18.5mm.
Troubleshooting
Shower door is difficult to move or sticks.
Check if the rollers are properly aligned. Use the adjustment screws to fine-tune the height. Ensure the track is clean and free of debris. Verify the glass thickness and hole spacing match the product specifications.
Rollers make squeaking noises.
Ensure the wheels are clean. A small amount of silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the wheel axle if necessary. Avoid using petroleum-based lubricants, which can damage plastic components.
Roller appears loose on the glass.
Gently tighten the fixing screws. Ensure you are not overtightening, as this could damage the glass. If the holes in the glass are too large, replacement may not be possible with these parts.
Door is not hanging straight.
Use the vertical adjustment screws on the top of the rollers to level the door. Ensure both rollers are adjusted to the same height.
