Hi Swisco,

I have a 1979 Aluminum horizontal sliding window in the kitchen. It has two small rollers on the bottom that I would like to replace. Any idea what part might fit?

Thanks!

Hi there!

We'd be happy to help but we'll need to see your rollers removed from your window to compare to our inventory.

Thank you!

I took one of the wheels out of the window. The wheels are about 3/8" diameter with an "axle" cylinder (I'm not sure what to call it) that goes through the wheel to hold it in place while the wheel turns. My axle looks broken off at one end. The aluminum frame has a plastic cap that on one end that secures the axle in place. The other end is open.

Do you sell wheels with the an axle like this?

More photos. The frame of the window is showing the "hole" where the wheel goes from the side. Notice the "plug" on the outside of the aluminum frame that holds the axle in place.

I think these are the wheels with axles that I need:

We don't carry an exact match for your roller but feel free to look through our sliding window replacement wheels and axels section here. The only thing that comes close would be our 87-192. Look over our dimensions and compare them to your current hardware to see what you think.
