HI -
I am looking for a replacement roller for an Acorn Sliding Glass door.

The wheel measures 1 1/8", the frame is 2.5" long and 1" height.

Hello,

Take a look and compare our 81-027 roller, which was used on the Acorn 800 Series Dorwall patio door. The wheel is 1-1/4" in diameter but you should be able to adjust the roller to make up the difference.  Look it over and let us know what you think!

Dave - thanks for the information I will give it a try. I thought of also trying a double wheel roller as well. Not sure if that will provide for a smoother travel? Do you have any that would fit the same spec?
thx

I don't believe we have a double wheel roller that will replace what you have now. It won't necessarily offer a smoother operating door, either. As long as you keep your new rollers clean and as long as the track is in good condition then they should work perfectly fine.
