Wardrobe sliding doors are one of the most frequently used door types in Australian homes, and their carriages and rollers take a considerable amount of wear over time. When a wardrobe door starts to wobble off its track, grind as it moves, or drop at one end, the carriage — the wheeled fitting that runs in the top track — is almost always the culprit. Slide Master Hardware stocks a broad selection of wardrobe door carriages and rollers to suit both older and current Australian wardrobe systems.

Wardrobe carriages come in many profiles. The wheel diameter, axle spacing, body width, and the shape of the bracket that connects to the door panel all vary between manufacturers and systems. Top-hung wardrobe doors (which hang from a track at the top) use different carriages to bottom-rolling systems (which roll on a floor track with a top guide). We stock components for both configurations.

Common signs that your wardrobe carriage needs replacing include: the door swinging outward at the bottom when moving, a clicking or grinding sound during operation, the door dropping noticeably below the top track, or the door having come off its track entirely. In most cases, carriage replacement is a straightforward DIY repair once you have the correct part.

Identifying the right carriage is easiest when you can bring in or photograph the existing part — particularly the wheel profile and the method of attachment to the door. Our team at the Wangara store is experienced with wardrobe hardware and can identify parts from a clear image.
