New Help/Suggestion with my Shower Doors....
I am sorry if this message is a duplicate. I had a mishap while
trying to send it the first time and don't know if it was sent. My shower doors each roll on 2 wheels from which they hang. The wheels no longer roll, they are just worn out. They do slide and I can live with it if I have to, but I'd rather not. Home Depot told me I couldn't buy just the rollers, I had to replace the entire door. Now this might be the case; it seems very stupid so perhaps it is true. However, it will be a cold day in hell before I spend several hundred dollars to replace something because a buck fifty piece is broken. I will either live with the problem, or nip the wheels off of something that looks like it might work and try a little American Know-How, or at least American Try. If anyone knows if these wheels can be purchased alone, I'd be most grateful for the information, or anything you can tell me that would help. Thanks Bonnie |
