Sliding Glass Door Roller Replacement

Home Owner from Utah

I have a large sliding glass door and my current rollers are very worn and need replacement. The wheels are 1 1/4 in diameter, height is 1 1/8, and width/thickness is about 11/16 inches.

See attached pictures and please let me know if you have a suitable replacement roller or need any more information.

Hi Mike, thank you for posting,

Unfortunately we are not able to provide a suitable replacement for this roller assembly. If the housing is reusable, the only thing we can supply is seeing if you can replace the wheel only. We carry the 81-266 1-1/4" wheel and axle kit. Take a look at the video below and let us know if you have any additional questions.

Hi Lauren, and thanks for the reply. It looks like the 81-266 wheel kit would work. It looks like it comes with different options for the axle. Do you know which if any of those are more durable or would be most preferable?

Looking further into your existing roller, I found that the supplier suggested to take a look at the 81-139 roller which comes with either a steel or nylon 1-1/4" diameter wheel. Check your dimensions to see if you can use this wheel. As for the wheel and axle kit, if that is the way you want to go I would recommend using the 81-266. There is not a specific axle that is more durable, the kit comes with multiple to make this a more versatile repair. Take a look on the website at the suggested hardware and related information and videos.
