Older Sliding glass with bearing rollers

Question

Dear sirs:
I have an older sliding glass door (probably 30 years)
It is vinyl covered aluminum door
The rollers are not the standard wheels but use a series of rollers to move the door
Had 2 sets. The back set is worn out and you have to lift the door to make it move
Please let me know of any additional measures you might need
Thanks

Hello,

We did carry this roller at one time but it has since been discontinued. In our experience, the 81-279 could work as a replacement. Keep in mind that the adjustment screw is a little higher and you may have to lift the edge of the door and angle the screwdriver up to reach the screw, but the wheel should roll smoother than the tank treads.

The 81-279 is on the thicker side, so you could also consider our 81-023 and see if the dimensions might work better for you. Thanks for posting!
