Garage door hard to open/close
Fopr [censored] years I have struggled with garage door that
is not "off its trolley" (overhead carrier), but has subsided, (or the earth has subsided; it's on concrete) such that the door scrapes along the concrete. I have been moving it on a pipe, but want to do something less primitive. Do they make anything that can be screwed to both sides of the door and has good-sized wheels to move door more easily? TIA |

TIA If you are talking about a sliding door, there is usually some adjustment in the rollers, or you could just raise the track, or get some rollers that do have some adjustment. |

TIA Adjust the hangers or shorten the door? The only "off the shelf" bolt on casters assemblies that I am aware of ... .... have swivel wheels & spring loaded shafts .... not exactly the best set up for your application cheers Bob |

Best ones I've ever owned. I don't remember which store they came from, maybe tractor supply. |
