Product 81-156

A home owner from Chesapeake. Va says:
I have not removed part, attached is stock photo the vendor provided.

Two questions.

1. Any concerns in switching from plastic wheels to metal wheels? I realize metal would last longer but ado my doors 'require" same material

2. Do you sell just the wheels? If not, based on picture can you confirm part is equivalent?

Thanks

Hello,

The roller shown in your photo actually looks like a closer match to the 81-184 or 81-018 depending on how the dimensions compare to the original part. 

We also carry some replacement wheels, which you can view here. Many customers have used either the 81-266 or 81-272 kits to replace their wheels if the roller housing is still in good condition but we also offer a few nylon options. 

The material is a matter of personal preference. You are correct that metal wheels tend to last longer but nylon wheels are a bit quieter and not prone to rusting. Take a look at the parts we mentioend and thanks for posting!
