Help! Need to find these rollers

Handy Person from Tempe, AZ
Hi!  I have an old mirrored sliding door on my bedroom closet and recently one of the ears broke off the roller bracket. The unit I took off looks exactly like the unit in your image above (877967?) Are these available anymore?  Is there a substitute?

Thanks for posting. Start by comparing to the 81-293 Roller. This looks reminiscent of yours, but please compare and see what you think.

Yes it is almost identical in every dimension, except the tab where the fastener secures it to the bottom of the door is horizontally oriented instead of vertical as shown above. Thinking I might be able to bend that tab over 90deg and give it a shot. Thoughts?

Yes,  based on how your tab is bent back I would imagine that someone did that manually prior to installation with a pair of pliers. One of my colleagues has done that himself plenty of times. You may indeed have to do that yourself for this project, since we don't sell any roller like this with a horizontal tab like that.
