Roller for Standarddoors screen door - Renaissance model

Question

Do you think I would be better off with the moss roller or the pacesetter (84-050). The width of the current roller is 3/8in. The moss roller seems to be a bit narrower than the pacesetter. The overall width of the bottom of the door is 5/8 in but the frame thickness would make a 1/2 roller a tight fit assuming it would fit at all.

I'm tying to source one from the manufacturer, Standarddoors in Quebec, Canada, but haven't had much success. The door is about 25 years old.

Thanks.

I've seem your roller before, but we never could find a good match. Part of me wonders if our 84-146 roller, mostly used in Canada, is a newer version of yours, but this is just an educated guess. Looking at the 84-095 roller, the front part of the housing (where the wheel is attached) is 11/32", just over 5/6" wide. The 84-050 Pacesetter roller could hang up in the door, since it's 1/2" wide. I'm not sure what to recommend, but I do believe the metal housing rollers should hold up better the the nylon housing roller.
