Hello there!

Thanks for reaching out to us. Check out the 81-057. This looks like it could be what you need. Review the specifications and see if they match up with your old assembly.

Screws that hold the sliding glass door frame together. As well as screws that hold the roller wheels to the frame.

As you can see one is a course thread, and the other is a fine thread.

Both are about 1 inch long and a very odd screw. Not sure what the name of them are.

I believe that screw in your photo is what is called a leader point screw. However, not too many hardware stores carry these types. It is a specialty screw used by manufacturers. With that said, take a look at the 33-017 #8x1" Phillip screw. Customers have used this screw to install the 81-057 roller into the door frame but take a look and see what you think.
