Tandem Roller Assembly for Gliding Patio Doors

Key Features

  • 1-1/4" Steel Ball Bearing Wheels: Precision-engineered steel wheels provide a smooth, low-friction glide even for heavy double-pane glass doors, ensuring effortless operation.
  • Tandem Load Distribution: The dual-wheel configuration distributes the door's weight across a larger surface area, significantly reducing wear on the track and preventing "flat spots" on the wheels.
  • High-Capacity Galvanized Housing: Constructed from heavy-gauge galvanized steel to resist corrosion and structural bending, making it ideal for high-humidity or coastal environments.
  • Side-Access Adjustment Screw: Features a conveniently located internal screw that allows you to easily raise or lower the door height to ensure perfect vertical alignment with the side jamb.
  • Universal Drop-In Design: Engineered for a precise fit into the bottom rail of standard gliding doors, requiring no specialized tools for a standard replacement.

Replaces / Cross-Reference Part Numbers

  • Current Standard: 1997061 (Used for doors manufactured from 1982 to Present).
  • Legacy Standard: 1273704 (Used for doors manufactured from 1964 to 1982).

Compatibility & Fitment

This tandem roller is the primary replacement part for the most popular Andersen-brand gliding door systems. Key compatible series include:

  • Andersen Perma-Shield: Fits the majority of Perma-Shield Gliding Patio Doors manufactured since 1964.
  • Andersen Frenchwood: Compatible with Frenchwood Gliding (FWG) patio doors.
  • Andersen Narroline & A-Series: Direct fit for Narroline (NL) and newer A-Series gliding door systems.
  • Note: While this part is standard for Andersen, it is essential to verify your existing housing dimensions and wheel diameter (1-1/4") before ordering.

When to Replace

  • Door is Hard to Slide: Opening or closing the door requires significant physical effort, indicating that the ball bearings have seized or the wheels have become misshapen.
  • Grinding or Squeaking Noise: A loud metallic sound as the door moves suggests the steel wheels are dragging across the track rather than rolling freely.
  • Door Jumps or Sags: The door feels "bumpy" when in motion or sits crooked in the frame, often causing air leaks and difficulty with the locking mechanism.
  • Visible Rust on Bearings: In high-moisture areas, the internal steel bearings can corrode and lock up, preventing the wheel from turning at all.
  • Stripped Adjustment Screw: You can no longer level the door because the internal adjustment threads have failed due to age or overtightening.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: CRITICAL: Gliding patio doors are extremely heavy. Always use two people to lift the door panel out of the track and lay it flat on a protected surface (like a moving blanket).
  • Clean the Track: PRO TIP: Before installing the new rollers, use a vacuum and a damp cloth to remove all sand, pet hair, and debris from the bottom track. A dirty track is the primary cause of premature roller failure.
  • Retract the Wheels: Ensure the new rollers are in their "fully retracted" (lowest) position before snapping them into the door rail; this provides the clearance needed to lift the door back onto the track.
  • Level the Door: Once the door is back in place, use a screwdriver to adjust both rollers until the gap between the door and the side jamb is perfectly even from top to bottom.
  • Dry Lubrication: Do not use thick grease or oil on the track. Use a Dry Silicone Spray on the rollers and track to provide lubrication without attracting dirt and grit.

NOT EFFECTIVE
Style: 100ct
I wish I could give this product ZERO stars but I had to click something in order to submit this review. DO NOT PURCHASE if you want effective eye makeup removed. It is literally water on some eye pads.

Our German Sheppard loves these
Size: Medium
These cost a bit more than tennis balls, but they are so much nicer and longer lasting. For starters, they stay cleaner than tennis balls because they’re smooth rubber. Dirt won’t build up on them and if anything does stick, like grass or soil, it falls off once the dog slobber dries. They’re also thick, so they don’t fall apart or blow out like a normal tennis ball does in our dog’s jaws after 30 seconds. Our GS chomps on these like crazy and the only damage they’ve suffered is a crack that developed from the edge of the hole, but the crack is growing very slowly and none of these balls have totally failed yet. The balls do whistle when thrown ant high speed and that may help a dog track and locate it, but I’m not sure. Our neighbors hear the whistling too so it’s far from silent. Lastly the orange ball is easy to locate out in our yard, but the dark blue practically disappears.

Great for smaller dogs
Size: Small
These two balls are perfect for the smaller mouthed dog that loves to play fetch. These balls are not only super durable (lots of teeth biting), but float in the baby pool we use for our miniature dachshunds. The value here is much better than you’d find anywhere else. The noise, if bitten hard enough, was “low” at best. Easy to spot/find if overthrown. Will definitely buy again once these are in bad repair; so far, so good-love these for my fur babies!
