Thanks for posting. I believe this is just the inner portion of a sliding glass door roller. The outer housing, which fits around this portion, may still be lodged in the door. If you can show us the entire assembly, and also tell us the width and height of the entire assembly, as well as the wheel diameter, we should be able to quickly narrow this down for you. Many thanks.

The parts you bought are too big to fit in the door because the outer housing of the original assembly is probably still installed in the door in each case. They must be removed in their entirety if you want to repair this door.

Depending on how the door is made, it may be necessary to remove the bottom rail before these housings can be accessed, as is the case for older aluminum doors. If you aren't able to do that then you may want to contact a local professional to do this repair for you.
