I need to find a replacement roller for my sliding patio door!
I can't seem to find one that looks exactly like it in your catalog however I'm sure that one should fit? It is an Allen Stevens part no 68 30
Please see attached photo for reference!

Thanks in advance,
Peter

Peter, have you taken a look at the 81-002 Weather Tight Door Roller?

Looks pretty similar. What is the likelihood that you think this will work??

Peter, I can't say for certain, just make sure you compare the measurements of your original to the 81-002 before considering it as a replacement.

Thanks Mike,
The measurements look good and I know that UPS just dropped it off at home.
