bi fold door

Post by duchess »

I found the original manufacturer of this door it was made by Keystone shower door co in Penn. Gave them a call and found that they have no parts for these doors they discontinued them 7 yrs ago. Prowlersfish what is wrong with yours ? on mine the screw that holds the trolley backs out and the trolley drops off the door. I have added a split ring washer to the screw/bolt to see if that will add tension to it. I think that over the years the threads have worn allowing the bolt to slip.Any other ideas for a fix ?

um, can i toss my yarmulkah in the discussion? how about talking to someone at an RV place. i mean, they have small showers and i am sure they could suggest something. last year when my 12 cabin light lenses fell apart, i went to the huge RV store in baltimore (golden ring area) and i found an exact match for them. i replaced each one and it cost me 5 bucks. the number is 410 687 7200 http://www.customcoachonline.com it's worth a try anyway.
just a thought.

Aaron,
I am in Alabama but make it to Baltimore/Washington 2-3 times a year.
I was in DC last week, caught the Amtrack up to Baltimore, had dinner at the Inner Harbor. First time I've been to the Harbor - it was really nice. Next time I go, I'll look you up.

agitator.... that would be great. we live 15 minutes north of the inner harbor off of 95/695. the boat is really easy to get to off of 95 as well.
