I have a 1980 CT Trawler with sliding exterior teak doors. The doors just slide along a brass rail at the bottom and are not hung. The starboard side rail is missing. I would like to convert all the doors to some better sliding mechanism, and was wondering about the best supplier for door hardware that will hold up to usage on marine applications to either 1. convert the doors to a hanging top roller set up, or 2. at least put better sliding hardware for the friction slide set up. Even if I keep the doors as friction slide, I need to put someting along the bottom as the doors have worn down to the point that the tops barely stay in their slot even when properly seated. Would running a strip of teflon along the bottom with a slot for the rail do the trick.
