Quick Learner from Anaheim, CA
I am looking for a 1 " sliding door/screen door roller assembly. The opening for the roller assembly is 3/4".

I was unfortunately not able to find this exact roller. This design is a little peculiar for screen doors, to tell the truth. I would say that the best match we have in our inventory would be the 81-247, but there are a couple of issues.

Namely the wheel is too small at 27/32" in diameter instead of the 1" you need. Now that may not actually be the end of the world, you can adjust these to make up for the difference, but it's something to consider.

Another obvious issue is the back tab. Ours sticks straight up while yours is angled back. In this case I actually think yours was sticking straight up originally, too, but that the installers bent it back during installation to get it to work. I've done that myself. It can easily be done with a pair of pliers and a firm grip. 

Finally, there is a simple matter of general housing size, which you will need to check over. I'll post dimensions at the bottom of this post.

Assuming all these differences are dealbreakers then your next best option is to replace the wheel by itself and just reuse the housing. See our 84-017 and 83-057 for two options.
