Rollers

One of the most important components of a sliding glass door is the roller assembly. This assembly, designed by Plaza Door, is made of 6061-T6 structural grade aluminum alloy with stainless steel axle pins, ball bearings, and adjusting screw. The large diameter wheel is molded of high density Derlin compound for durability. Derlin is a naturally lubricating material and does not wear away the heavy anodized finish applied to the track. The stainless steel bearing is protected from dust and dirt with Teflon dust shields. It all adds up to a very quiet, easy-rolling, corrosion resistant door.

Single Roller Assembly
The single roller assembly is part of the standard quality package furnished on our Sentry, Atlas, and screen door panels. The large diameter roller tire makes these units roll quietly and with little effort.

Tandem Roller Assembly
The tandem roller assembly is included as standard hardware on our Titan Series sliding door units. They can be retrofitted to any existing Plaza Sliding Glass Door regardless of the series. The use of two wheels per roller means the mechanical advantage of the large tires has been doubled to provide the easiest, smoothest, and quietest rolling Titan door panels, regardless of their size.

Track Drainage

Built-in "Weep" Drainage System
Water drainage is important in areas where constant rain is a part of everyday life. To keep rain water from findings its way inside, Plaza Door uses a series of watertight discharge pans hidden underneath the track. The force of the water rolling off of the doors pushes the water into corresponding "weep" holes that allow water to find its way off of the track and away from the door sill. Our special "Titan Hi Rise" surface draining track may be utilized for optimum performance during extreme weather and high wind conditions.

Four Point Weather Sealing

Double Pile & Bulb Vinyl
The Pile or "fuzz" weather stripping plays the critical role of keeping insects from finding their way inside. The bulb vinyl weather stripping is important because it blocks wind and rain water from entering the interior. Plaza Door integrates this industry standard of weather sealing twice at every jamb, door astragal, and interlock meeting condition. Having this feature helps eliminate the " whistling" or "howling" many sliding glass doors produce during extreme windy conditions.
