Different dimension for my roller vs item 81-156

Quick Learner
Item 81-156 looks to match the roller in my door except the measurement from the top to the bottom of the mounting tab. Mine is 1-1/4". The mounting tabs are offset from the bottom. I believe this will cause a problem with the new roller topping out the inside of the roller pocket and the tabs won't be flush to mounting surface. See attached pic. Please review and let me know what you think. Thanks

Hey there,

Thanks for reaching out! I'm afraid we do not have a direct replacement match for your existing roller and I'm not sure that it is available any longer. Unfortunately, I didn't have much luck finding it with any of our suppliers.

I rechecked the measurements of the 81-156 and they are correct; especially the 1-1/2" height. That being said, my first suggestion would be to check inside the roller door "cavity" to see if you have the clearance for the height. 

If that is not an option, my second suggestion would be to see if you could use some washers to bring down the housing without interfering with the clearance at the bottom of the door.

My third (and final) suggestion would be to take a look at the 81-266 1-1/4" dia Roller And Axle Kit. If your roller housing is in good working order then replacing the wheels might be the way to go. Take a look at the video tutorial below for reference.
