Damaged Drawer Roller

I need to replace drawer roller or ring for a steel drawer. The drawer faceplate is 30" wide and 6" high. The roller is a hair over 1" (28mm) outer diameter and exactly 1/4 inch deep.

We have a 7/8" nylon ball bearing wheel that might work for you. You would need to remove the rail from the drawer, drill out the rivet, and then screw on the 10-109 with a 33-087 screw. Let me know what you think of this solution.

Thanks Paul. Modifying the rail should be fine.

But would the new one raise the drawer high enough that it slides in over the cabinet below?

Also, I assume this would require replacing both rails. That's fine too.

The only track kit we have that may work is something like our 32-062. Could that work for you? We do have other lengths under different part numbers.

Hi Dave. No, that is a completely different system. I don't want to replace the tracks. I want to replace the wheels. What happened to Paul?

In using 10-109 roller, there might be enough play given that the drawers won't rub against each other. You probably have to replace both sides, but I would replaced the damaged one first, then try the drawer to see how it slides. If that doesn't work, however, then replacing the tracks entirely may be your only other option, which I think is what Dave was getting at.
