In any aspect of life, heavy duty action calls for heavy duty gear.
Summer in Australia? Nothing less than SPF50 and zinc.
Hiking through Canadian forests in winter time? Best get yourself some boots with crampons.
Transporting your 8-year-old’s birthday party from the bowling alley to McDonalds? Bring out the minivan.
For roller doors in high-traffic areas, investing in heavy duty gear is also a smart move. Here, we’re talking about extra-strong rollers. Let’s explain why they’re such a key part of keeping your high-traffic areas moving, thanks to Australia’s experts at We Fix Sliding Doors:
What are heavy duty sliding door rollers?
Heavy duty sliding door rollers are wheels for your sliding door which have been made of stronger, more durable and more resilient material than regular rollers. While stock standard rollers on sliding doors are often made of a metal casing and frame, the roller themselves tend to be made of nylon or polyurethane, which is why rollers often crack and jam up.
Heavy duty rollers, on the other hand, are made entirely of strong materials, including stainless steel and mild zinc plating. This makes them more durable and harder-wearing.
What are their benefits?
Heavy duty rollers have a tonne of benefits over their cheaper counterparts. These include:
- Durability
With heavy duty rollers, you can open and close your sliding door for more often and enjoy less problems than with cheap rollers. Heavy duty rollers last much longer than standard rollers, saving you money on repairs in the long run.
- Better overall door condition
When a roller jams up or becomes faulty, it can cause further problems with your sliding glass door, like bending or warping the track. Heavy duty rollers help to prevent this, leading to better overall door condition.
- Smoother function
And heavy duty rollers also perform better than cheap ones, making it easier to open and close your sliding glass door.
Where can they be used?
Heavy duty sliding door rollers can be used anywhere, but they’re especially important for high-traffic areas, including:
- Patios and decks
Your patio sliding door gets a work out, especially over the summer. Heavy duty wheels keep your door moving smoothly.
- Retail spaces
For sliding doors in retail spaces, heavy duty rollers are highly recommended to keep the premises safe and to minimise business downtime.
- Warehouses
Warehouses often use sliding glass doors for office areas – another high-traffic situation.
