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.

Good Quality
Size: 2 Colors each 10FT, Style: 22AWG
Good quality wire. Doesn't fail and break after only a few bends or twists like most cheap wire. The silicone insulator is great for flexibility in tight spaces like guitar electronics cavities. I'm constantly trying out new part and pickups and found that some cheaper wires were often failing due to being moved around all the time.

Great wire

I needed a flexible durable wire to fix an old model train. It worked perfect. Wire is generally wire. If you require all the special features of this wire it will meet all your needs

Great connectors
Size: 5 pairs
Just finished an overhaul on the stereo system. A couple decks needed new belts and the wife wanted a new cabinet for everything so just take it all apart and refresh. I ordered these plugs to make the backside wiring a bit neater . They are very well made and easy to install if you mess up the polarity just swap the arrel covers, easy peasy. Great quality and easy assembly. Did it improve the sound? Can't say that I noticed that but it is certainly as good and so much easier to connect speaker outputs. I would certainly buy again.

High Quality Banana Plugs
Size: 12 Pairs
Banana clips are high quality, I used 12 awg wires and had no issues. It secures into the plug with 2 small screws, you will need a flat terminal screw driver to install them. The quality was high and made a good connection. If I had to make one complaint it would be that I would tighten the gray piece to the plug and it always kept spinning, otherwise, excellent product.
