Slidding Glass Door Wheel Replacement

Question

Hello,

My sliding glass door uses the old tank track style of roller. Instead of a wheel, it uses small plastic cylindrical rollers that roll around in a groove to allow the door to slide. The assembly is 3 inches long. I would like to purchase a suitable wheel assembly to replace this older style that does not appear to be available anymore.

Thank you,

-Travis

Hi Travis. I am afraid this old 'tank tread' roller is no longer made. However, we've had people successfully use our 81-279 as a replacement. The adjustment screw sits a little higher than on your old roller but the wheel rides better than the noisy treads. Take a look and let us know what you think.
