How Long You Are Without the Door

We run out of Auburn, about 8 miles down to Meadow Vista, so the door isn't getting looked at until a truck makes that drive. Once we're there, roller replacement itself is quick work - pull the old wheel assemblies off the track, swap them, check the track alignment, done inside an hour on most jobs. The wait is the trip, not the repair. If a spring's gone along with the rollers, that adds time on site, but the roller swap alone doesn't hold anyone up long once the truck is in the driveway.

What changes the timeline more than distance is whether we're carrying the right roller for the track. Meadow Vista homes built in the late 1970s often still have the narrower steel track that came standard then, and if we show up assuming newer, wider-track hardware, we're making a second trip. We try to ask the right questions on the phone first so the first trip is the only trip.

Questions

Common questions

Are my rollers original to the house if it was built in the late 1970s?

Good chance, yes. Steel rollers from that era often run 30-plus years before the wheel wears enough to notice, especially if nobody's greased the track in decades. If you've never had the door serviced, assume the rollers are original until a tech tells you otherwise.

Do you carry parts for older track widths on the truck?

We stock both the narrower track rollers common on late-1970s builds and the wider modern stem rollers, since Meadow Vista's housing stock is older than a lot of the area we cover. If a job turns out to need something unusual, we'll say so rather than force a fit.

Should I replace all the rollers or just the broken one?

If the door's original hardware is from the build year, the other rollers are the same age as the one that failed. We'll tell you what shape they're in, but on a door that old, doing all of them in one visit usually makes more sense than coming back in six months for the next one.
