Hi,

This is an alluminum door from the 80s. I started taking it apart, but stopped short of removing the actual roller assebly, but you can see it in these photos. Single wheel. The door is 1 inch exactly and the wheel is 1-3/8 -see photo. In the "bottom rail" photo, I've lifted the side to expose the roller. Let me know if this provides enough detail. This is a rent house and I plan to visit again on Friday, but didn't want to dissassemble the door again if I didn't have to. (umtil it's time to swap them out for goood!)

Hello,

We'd be happy to look into this for you but we would need to see the roller housing fully removed from the door frame to compare to our inventory. We'll also need you to write out the exact height and width of the housing to narrow down your replacement options. Thank you!

Hi Casey - I've got all the details now with better photos. Specs below. I'm also hoping you can help my find this weather stripping material that runs in two channels on the bottom. I will add a few pics of those too, but might require a seperate post. We found there's also a sscrew that mounts form the top. Happy to chat

Thanks for getting back to us. Your roller actually looks similar to our 81-004, which was used on "Keller" patio glass doors. We also offer the similar 81-282 roller assembly. Take a look and review the specifications shown on both product pages to see if one of them could work for your repair.

Yes! I'll check the threads on the screw and then place an order. Did you see the additional photos with the weather stripping I'm trying to replace? I'm trying to see if I can locate that also. Thank you much!!

Unfortunately, we do not carry the metal base that your weatherstripping appears to attach to. I do not recognize the seal at first glance but we would need to see an end profile photo of an undamaged piece to confirm if we carry anything similar. Thank you.
