Sorry to hear. Can you remove an undamaged roller and show us pictures? I'm having trouble making a determination from this lone photo. I'll do my best to help from there.

That is the problem. I can't get the door off any more than I can.
Here is the picture of the. Back, inside the closet, of the door. The hole has a metal cylinder in it which I believe holds the roller in place. One side has come loose and I can't get the metal cylinder out of the hole to get it to go though the roller

Bob and I looked into this for you. I believe I found your closet roller in a 1970 parts catalog. The plate is a triangle with two 3/4" wheels on one side and the adjusting screw in a cylinder on the bottom of the triangle. With a flashlight, look inside for the screw. If not in there, use a pair of needle nose pliers and you should be able to pull the cylinder out to release the bracket from the door.

Now, I am afraid that there is no replacement for this item. We suggest buying a new complete closet door track kit like our 23-500. Look it over and see if you think this could work for you.
