Hi Mike,

I believe you are correct that the 81-081 roller is the correct replacement for yours but with a steel wheel instead of nylon. This roller with a steel wheel will still work for you as long as all fo the dimensions line up but if you prefer to use a nylon wheel, you could replace the wheel in the 81-081 with our 81-228 1-1/4" nylon wheel. The decision to go with a nylon or steel wheel in the scenario really just comes down to personal preference. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you!

Good morning! I am trying to find replacement wheel assemblies for my slider doors. I have taken out the old and found a match on your website that fits perfect - all dimensions are exactly the same(81-081). The only thing different is the wheel material. I have nylon wheels and the one I have matched on your site has a metal wheel. Could you please point me in the right direction for this assembly pictured? Thanks in advance for your assistance. Have a great day!
