Franklin Wardrobe Door Roller
Spares support for older Franklin products is patchy at best. Reproducing the wardrobe door roller locally is often quicker and cheaper than the hunt for old stock. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break
Sliding door rollers flatten and doors jam. The factory part is made from styrene-based plastic that loses its plasticisers over the years. It gets glassy, then one warm day it lets go under a load it used to handle easily.
How we reproduce them
Bring in the broken part and we'll reverse engineer it — usually with a design tweak that addresses why it failed in the first place, not just a copy of the weak original.
We print these in Nylon. Nylon is slippery and fatigue-resistant, which makes it the right choice for parts that pivot, slide or flex thousands of times.
Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
