81-126 - are there any compatible, alternative rollers??

A quick learner from Worcestershire - United Kingdom says:

Hi there,

As I live in the U.K. t's a little tricky getting over to you!

The question I have is in two parts:

Part 1 - are there any other patio-sliding-door rollers that are compatible with your stock item 81-126?

Part 2 - are there any double wheel rollers that could be used instead?

In both cases I'm asking if there is something you could recommend that has the right dimensions to fit the same door-channel..

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for posting, John. In general with sliding glass door rollers, it's always best to stick to an exact replacement, and it does look like the dimensions you cite are very close to what we list for the 81-126; just double-check to confirm. In this particular case though, there is one other roller we've been able to use as a replacement for this in the past: our 81-023. We've have used this one in the past to replace rollers like yours. However it's a bit involved, as you will need to remove the bottom rail on the glass door to install a 33-103 set screw. Take note you will need to use a drill and counter sink bit to install the 33-103 screw so that it lays flush in the bottom rail glass pocket.
