The axles are broken wheel chipped. Appear to be metal. Definitely not plastic. Need to find wheels, alxles, and that octagonal ?nut? with offcenter hole. Doors are about 35 yrs old. Wheels measure approx 1 1/4 OD, 3/4" from axle post to post, 1/4" axle hole. Really appreciate help locating. Thanks

You have an older style Acorn Dorwal patio door. I'm afraid not all parts will be available. That said, take a look at our 81-230 roller. I think this should match up to yours. As for the screws and washer parts, you will have to reuse them. I don't think you'll be able to find these anywhere.

Thank you for your help I really appreciate it. As one of the screws and washer disintegrated do you have any suggestions for substitutes ?
Thanks

Ah, that might be a problem. I don't know what else could work. You may want to check a local hardware store to see what they recommend. They may be able to fashion something for you, but I'm not sure. These just aren't made anymore.
