What's included in a roller replacement
A roller replacement isn't just swapping the wheels. It includes: lifting the door off its track, removing the existing roller housings, fitting new rollers matched to the door's weight and track type, rehanging the door, adjusting the roller height so the door runs level, and testing the lock engagement. The R850 price covers all of this.
We always replace both rollers in the same visit. Replacing only the obviously damaged one leaves the door running unevenly — the second roller will fail within months.
Why track damage increases the repair cost
Worn rollers that continue running will eventually seize entirely. A seized roller drags on the aluminium track and gouges the surface — the friction score marks prevent new rollers from running smoothly and the damaged section must be replaced. This is why a roller replacement caught early (R850) is always cheaper than the same repair delayed (R1,200 for track and rollers combined).
The cost of waiting: A roller caught at the grinding stage costs from R850. The same roller left until it seizes and damages the track costs R1,200. Most customers can't pinpoint exactly when the change happened — which is why booking at the first warning sign matters.
Repair vs replacement — the cost comparison
Replacing a sliding door and frame in Gauteng costs between R8,000 and R25,000 or more, depending on the door size, glass spec, and aluminium profile. A mechanical repair — rollers, track, lock, guide — costs between R850 and R1,200 in the vast majority of cases. Unless the aluminium frame itself is structurally damaged (cracked, buckled, or corroded through), repair is almost always the right financial decision.
When repair makes sense:
- The aluminium frame is structurally sound — no cracks or severe corrosion
- The glass is intact (or a single panel needs replacing, not the whole door)
- The problem is mechanical — rollers, track, lock, guide, or seals
- The door is less than 20 years old
- The repair cost is less than 15% of replacement cost
