JR Products 81865 Accordion/Folding Door Carrier

Had to replace the leading carrier on my accordian door. This replacement has the same hole diameter and lined up perfectly with the previous carrier. The width of the part that slides in the overhead channel is somewhat narrower than the original one, but it appears to work fine. My original carrier was riveted to the door, so I had to drill it out and found I could use a short binding post screw and nut to fasten it.

My 48" wide accordion door in my clubroom is about 40 years old and the first carrier on the handle side broke off a few years ago that made the door scrape on the floor when it was closed. Tired of this bad condition when using the door I researched finding a replacement part to fix the door. The existing carriers were made of metal, but all my research on the internet came up with only one company that made a carrier for an accordion door, JR, that advertised that its carrier part, which was plastic not metal, was for accordian doors installed in RV vehicles. I only needed one carrier but it was packaged in as 14 item package. The price with tax was about $10.50 which was cheaper than replacing with a new 48" accordian door that would cost over $80.00. I took the door down, drilled out the old, damaged carrier and then installed one of the new plastic carrier in the same hole. I attached he new carrier using a #6 screw bolt that was 3/8" long, split washer and a flat washer. The plastic carrier was very close to the length of the existing metal carriers so I had no problems with the final operation of the sliding of the door. It was a perfect replacement and I am completely satisfied with the results by saving on not needing a new accordion door. Of course, I have 13 plastic carriers left for any future repairs, but the existing metal carriers appear to be fine. I have provided 3 photos to show you the competed door and close ups of the repaired carrier (plastic) and with the existing metal carriers. Worked out great for my accordion door repair!

I bought these as a replacement on one that had broken on my 19' airstream flying cloud travel trailer. The one that broke was on the accordion door that separates the bedroom/bathroom area from the kitchen area. There is a long plastic piece that slides off the pleated part of the door. Once you take it off, you will have to cut off the rivet, making sure not to cut the main plastic piece. Then, I used a small nut and bolt to replace the rivet, slid it back on to the pleated part of the door, and carefully slid it into the track. It worked perfectly:)

This are pretty convenient. Did the job

Fix my door right up.

The product is great, it's the lack of information in the listing I hate. Amazon and JR Products need to put a proper listing for this. See my photos pictures for some of the information the listing should contain.

I couldn't find anywhere to repair my broken folding door. Really glad I found these replacement, and now my door is working again.

Just what I needed, they got here quickly

Fits perfectly. No longer does it drop to the floor.Lots more in pkg to fix any more broken ones. Good to have rivet gun for install though had to drill out old one.

bien reçu et comme décrit.
