Forster-Patio Door Roller

A professional from Florida says:

Hello Swisco,

Please help identify this roller. The bracket width is 1/2", roller is 1-1/4 diameter, and the dimension from the center of the roller to end of bracket is 1-3/8". This house was built in 1973.

Please let me know what you have available or similar that I can make work.

Thank you,

Rich

Hello,

We'd be happy to help but it looks like you are only showing the inner housing of the roller. The outer housing may still be installed inside the door frame, which you will need to remove to confirm the correct replacement.  In the meantime, take a look at the 81-046 roller, which has an inner housing similar to the one in your photos. However, we also offer the 81-005 with a similar inner housing. I'm leaning toward the 81-046 but you will need to remove the rest of it from your door to be sure. Thank you.

Hello Dave Sr.

I removed the aluminum extrusion outer housing from the door frame. Based on the dimensions provided in the 81-046, this is the exact piece that I need. Thanks for all the help.
