Wheel schematic and picture are attached. They are from an 8 ft wide. Al patio door that is approximately 40-50 yrs old. The existing wheels have an Al frame and 1.5 inch diameter wheels. Need help finding replacement. Nearest i found is your part no 81-002, but that has 1.25 inch diameter wheel, will that work or do you have a better idea?
Thanks for your help,

This looks closer to our 81-129 and 81-262 to me, but neither part matches your dimensions exactly. Look over the measurements shown for each product and see if you could use one of them as a replacement.

There's a good chance we sell the roller you need to repair this door, but I need to see that exterior housing in your last two photos removed and as close to assembled as you can get with the wheel carriage. Too much is obscured while it's installed.

Once the exterior housing is removed, please make sure to measure its height and width for me. The height and width of the carriage will not narrow down the list of possibilities.
