Sliding patio screen door upper hanger roller

Question

Hello Swisco:

Got another one for you. Could not locate this part at Ace, Home Depot, or Lowes. You guys helped me on the last hard to find door part hopefully you can work your magic on this one.

Patio Screen Door upper roller Circa 1960s
2 7/8" Long
1 inch wide
1 inch ball bearing roller (railroad track style)
(Hangs on upper rail of patio door track)
Not sure the measurement of the slight offset but very close to 3/8" just under 1/4"

Appreciate your time in researching this for me.

Thank you,

Richard

Hey, Richard. I'm afraid that we couldn't find anything like this. I'm afraid it's just a bit too old. I did have a bit of a wild idea, though. I wonder if you could maybe use a closet door roller like our 23-154, but remove the original wheel and install something like our 84-017 on the other side.

Now, I obviously can't guarantee this will work, but the design of the bracket and wheel I mentioned are similar enough that it may be worth considering. Look them over and let me know what you think.
