Truth Hardware’s End Adjust Tandem
Patio Door Rollers offer a unique
advantage in that we manufacture our
own ball bearings. This allows Truth
complete control over all aspects of
design and production of our roller
assemblies. While others may use soft
stamped metal parts in the production
of their wheels, Truth’s bearing race-
ways are machined from solid steel bar
stock and then heat treated for wear
resistance and plated for corrosion
resistance. This method provides the
longest lasting, true running rollers
capable of carrying the heaviest loads.
