The door is still going strong to this day despite there being very little aluminium for the stainless steel cover track to bond to.

That old door is still going strong 2 and a half years later. Honestly I'd consider putting that stainless steel track on a brand new door. Don't forget to replace the plastic rollers too, they are cheap and more readily available.

Life saver, mate. I had no idea that the track could be fixed this easily.

You're welcome!

Nice vid, i didnt even know this was a thing, i can see myself doing a few of these👍👍👍

[@FixTechStuff]

Thanks! It's fairly easy to do, combined with a set of replacement wheels it makes a worn out old door work like new again.

Why would you use Builders Bog (a wood filler) and not silicone?

[@FixTechStuff]

Yes I think you could use silicone, should be OK if weighted down, but it takes 24 hours to cure. I guess bog sets quickly, so you could have the door assembled complete with new rollers without having to wait. The bog in the video would have been perfectly fine to work with if I didn't add too much hardener.

The music was so loud that I could hear the narrator explain what he was doing

[@SomeOne-ou4vf]

The narrator is dumb.... unable to talk

[@simbatwiga9631]

Nice

Bog???

[@FixTechStuff]

Yes, unbelievably it’s glued down with bog. That old door is still going strong.

[@Mr0OneTwo]

U don't show how you removed the glass door. If we dnt have a door everyone can replace the track

[@FixTechStuff]

Yes, that would have been a handy addition to the video but I thought of recording it too late. Removal process involved removing some screws at the top and lifting the door up into the slot, tilting it and lowering it down. Often there is just a small block or 2 preventing it being lifted.

Where adress please

[@ferdinandonglao116]

more video needed and what is the name of Bog filler

[@FixTechStuff]

I used ordinary auto body filler which is used for repairing dents in cars. Just need to be careful you mix more rather than less, I had to quickly whip up a second batch while the other one almost went hard!
