Aluminum Sliding Glass Door Rollers

Hello, I am having trouble finding rollers for my door, I hope you will be able to help me.

I do not have photos of rollers installed.

I need 2 rollers for Alpine Industries (Bothell, WA) aluminum frame sliding glass door.

The door was installed 1987, the door is 6 foot wide x 6 foot 10 inche stall. Between the 2 glasses of the door, it is marked "A-L-1 AP 1 C/A APR 1-1987"

The width seems to be 47/64 (using calipers .732"), height is 1-3/16".

The wheel is 1-1/4" diameter, nylon, looks like 5/16 wide.

Thank you

MichaelĀ

Hello,

The dimensions that you provided match the 81-269 patio door roller shown below. Keep in mind that the installation tab is a slightly different shape, so you may need to bend it slightly to match your part. If so, just keep in mind that parts can not be returned for a refund once they are modified. Take a look and see what you think.

Hello,

The patio door roller you recomended is 81-269.

This has a 1 1/4 diameter steel wheel.

I need a nylon wheel.

Is there a patio door roller like 81-269 with a nylon wheel?

Thank you

Michael

Unfortunately, the 81-269 is not available with a nylon wheel but we do offer the 81-228 if you would prefer to swap out the steel wheel that comes with the roller. The steel wheel should still work for your repair but it ultimately comes down to personal preference.
