Screen door wheels

Handy Person from Boca Raton FL
I need to purchase 2 sets of these wheels. Do the pictures give enough info to match a replacement?

Thanks for reaching out to us. I'm sorry to say that we don't sell this exact roller. The closest match that I was able to find was our 81-247, but it has two major differences:

To start, the back installation tab bends up vertically instead of bending back horizontally, like yours. While this is a big difference, it can be circumvented by manually bending the tab with a pair of pliers. I've done it myself and it works in a pinch.

But there are other issues. The next major difference is that our roller has a 27/32" diameter nylon wheel. Yours looks much wider and is made of metal. The good news is that this is something that can be fixed by swapping the wheel out, but it takes some handiwork.

Lastly, there's a matter of general housing size. I'm not sure how well the housing compares to yours. I'll share some dimensions below for you to go over.

To summarize, the 81-247 is the closest match I could find. It has several, potentially major differences, but each one can be adjusted to better match the original setup as long as you're able to make alterations.
