Hello. I can't find replacement wheels that match what came out of my vinyl sliding glass door (8ft height). The main difference from common parts is that the housing is 1-5/16" tall; which is about a quarter inch taller than usual. The housing is 3-1/8" long and the distance from the rear of the housing to the front of the wheel is 4-3/16". The housing is 5/8 wide. Wheels are 1-1/4" diameter and 5/16" thick. Thank you!!

Thanks for posting. Our 81-158 Tandem Roller looks close. Please compare, double-check your dimensions, and let me know what you think.

Thanks so much for the reply! This is one of the closest matches that I've seen. However, I dont think it will work because when screwed to the door it would have 5/16" dead space above it instead of nesting directly against the door. Perhaps there is a 5/16" spacer that I can stack on top of it?

I'm so sorry for missing that dimension in your original post! I must have overlooked it completely. With that in mind, we don't sell anything in this style that's 1-5/16" tall, but our 81-166S is 1-1/4", which is very close. Might this be a better option?
