GU 31767 and GU 28854 replacement
Do you have an older GU lift-slide door that is getting heavier to operate or no longer opens properly? Then it is likely that the trolleys are worn out. In older GU lift-slide systems, two types of trolleys are mainly found: GU 31767 and GU 28854.
Both models have now been replaced by a new type. In this blog, we explain how to recognize the old trolleys and which replacement you need.
Why is it important to choose the right trolley?
The trolleys bear the full weight of the lift-slide door. After years of use, the bearings can wear out, causing the door to:
- hard to slide;
- no longer lifts properly;
- difficult to close;
- causes more wear on the bottom track.
Before ordering new trolleys, it is important to first determine which old model is present in your door.
