Window rollers

Anything like this available? Sliding windows part of a solarium added to house sometime in past - not sure what date, manufacturer, who installed, etc. All brass rollers have flat spots. Alternatively, the roller is brass 1/2 inch in diameter. Axle is 3/16 in diameter and 3/8 long. Replacing rollers rather than assembly could work.

Thank you,

Bob

Hello,

I don't recognize this roller at first glance but I'm going to have one of our senior experts take a look and see if they could recommend a replacement for you. We'll reach out as soon as more information is available. Thank you!

Unfortunately, we do not carry an exact replacement for your window roller but take a look at our 87-203 roller and see if you think the dimensions and specifications could work for your application. Thank you!

Thank you for checking, but the dimensions on my assembly that fit into the aluminum channel are 7/8 wide by 5/8 tall. I suppose if I got something close I could shim it in. Would have to have a spot for a screw to hold it in place. I think the easiest way would be finding a wheel with similar dimensions. Half inch diameter with 3/16 center hole. I can reuse the axle and the black nylon piece - I just have to replace the current wheels that have flat spots.

Your Product Code: 87-193 is very close. The current wheel is about 5/32 wide in a 3/16 slot. Otherwise the current axle may fit. Can I order one of those?
