What Is Aluminium Door Roller?

The role of door and window pulleys (rollers) in architectural systems can be summarized as follows:

Choosing the right sliding door roller wheels is crucial for smooth, quiet, and long-lasting operation. Here’s a step-by-step guide focusing on wardrobe/closet doors:
Key Factors to Consider:
Track Compatibility (CRITICAL):
Measure the Track: Note the exact width (internal groove width) and depth of your existing track profile.
Wheel Type: Wheels have specific grooves (V-shaped, U-shaped, flat) designed to fit snugly into the track. Match the wheel groove profile to your track. Mismatched profiles cause binding, jumping, or derailment.
Wheel Diameter: Ensure the wheel isn't too large (won't fit) or too small (won't roll smoothly, prone to dirt buildup) for your track.
Door Weight Capacity:
Calculate Total Door Weight: Estimate the weight of your door(s) (e.g., solid wood is heavy, hollow-core laminate is lighter, mirrors add significant weight).
Check Wheel/Bracket Rating: Wheels/brackets have a maximum load rating (e.g., 50kg, 100kg per wheel). Total load per door = Door Weight / Number of Wheels. Add a safety margin (e.g., 20-30% extra capacity).
Heavier Doors: Require wheels with robust bearings (sealed ball bearings), stronger brackets (metal), and higher weight ratings. Avoid flimsy plastic wheels.

Using door and window pulleys (most common on double-hung windows and some heavy sliding doors/partitions) involves understanding their purpose, basic operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Here's a comprehensive guide:
