Hi I need help identifying my roller please

Measurements are provided in the pictures to make sure I did them correctly. I measured the "width" at 3/4 of an inch, "height" at slightly over 1 inch and 1/8th, and the width of the single steel ball bearing wheel is 1 and 1/4 inch.

Is it possible to upgrade my rollers to double wheels and will that help for a more smooth and sturdy modification?

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for your expertise.

Hello, Frank, thanks for contacting us and for the thorough information.

I unfortunately don't recognize this roller off the top of my head, and I don't believe anything in our inventory is an exact match, but please give us a little more time to try to track this down. I'll do my best to find something that would work as a replacement for this application.

Hey there, hopefully I can help. As Tom said we don't sell this exact roller, but one possible alternative that comes to mind is our 81-123 roller. This looks similar to yours except you will need to bend the screw tab to attach the roller to your door frame. I've done it myself in similar applications and it works fine, it just takes a pair of pliers.

Take a look at the diagram below and see what you think. This isn't a guarantee, unfortunately, but I think it's the best option we can offer. Please also note that any product altered in the way I've suggested would be ineligible for a refund. Just something to keep in mind as you move forward here.

Hey Tom, I am so sorry I missed your message on the 5th!?! I don't know how I didn't see that alert?!? Anyways, no problem I can wait a bit more I guess. As long as we can find the match or there close to that will work.

Hi Dave, let me look at the measurements I supplied to see how much off the difference is between the two. I'm willing to try if the costs is not too much I guess. Let me get back to you both as soon as I can. Thank you both for your time and expertise. If you do find a better match or the exact in the meantime please share. Thank you both again.

Btw does this wheel have ball bearings in it as well?

Yes! The 81-123 has a steel ball-bearing wheel.

Please feel free to reach out if you had any questions, or if the 81-123 ends up not being a good match. I don't know if we'll have anything better, but we will do our best to look into it if that ends up being the case.
