Single wheel roller is too wide

I tried your single wheel roller, the 81-132. But those nubs on the side make the roller too wide for my door.
Your 81-019 looked promising (no nubs sticking out), but there's that black post sticking out the side. That might cause the same problem.

I would have to agree with your thoughts on our 81-019 roller assembly. I believe this roller will work for you. Please recheck your measurements and dimensions to make sure they match up to ours.

Dave,

The last time I spoke to your company, we looked at that and decided that the black protrusion would interfere with installation. Please respond.

That black drive pin on the 81-019 is used by some manufacturers to hold the roller in place. It would go through a hole in the bottom rail of the patio glass door. Your roller has a rivet in the place of the drive pin, so I'm not sure how yours is held in place. You could cut or grind down the pin, which is 7/8" long, to the length you need. You could also purchase the 81-310 axle kit. It comes with an assortment of pins and rivets, including some that are shorter. The 81-019 also come with a steel wheel option.
