My Father in Law has a double sliding garage door which the door hangs on a large track above the door and the bottom of the door is guided around the corner by pins which run in a metal U channel set into the concrete floor.
The bottom channel is very badly rusted and the pins get stuck in it making the door impossible to use.
He needs a new bottom U channel which he is going to get a metal fabricator to make for him.
I have been thinking about using tough plastic runners set into the concrete instead of going to the expense of metal fabrication. There is no weight on these things, as they only have to guide the bottom pegs.
Has anyone any experience of this please?
