I'm not sure if we'll be able to replace these wheels. They may be too old. Could you tell me the diameter and thickness? Could we also see a picture of one installed? That may help us determine what you need.

Hi Tom. Sorry for the late reply but I have attached additional pictures of the rollers (8 rollers on two rockers on top of each door). Each roller has a 3/4" diameter and is 1/8" thick. The metal base of the roller has a 1/2" diameter in case there would be an option to just purchase new rubber pieces for them. I appreciate your review and thoughts.

Thank you for getting back to us, Doug. I recognize these rollers. These aren't made anymore and haven't been for a long time, which means you won't be able to find an exact match for the wheels.

That said, you may be able to get a little sneaky. We have a couple shower door rollers that may work as substitutes. See our 10-100 and 10-102 to star tout. Could you possibly install these on your old roller units? Let me know what you think.
