double wheel assembly for a sliding glass door

I have a sliding glass door (18+ years old) that tends to get stuck. The track, which is an upside down wedge that fits into a groove, was bent to one side. I removed the door and reinstalled the track, but I think I need to replace the wheel assemblies and possibly the track. I've attached photos of the track and wheel assembly. The wheels are 1.5" in diameter and the assembly measures 5.75" between installation holes.

Appreciate any guidance you can offer.

Regards,

Sean

Take a look at our 81-018, this looks close to what you have. Carefully compare our dimensions to ours to confirm if they match up.

Thanks, Bob. Will the fact that the wheels are 1.25" vs. 1.5" make a difference?

The wheels in the 81-018 can be adjusted to make up for the 1/4" difference. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Great! That makes sense. Do you have any recommendations for the track? I removed the current track, which looks a lot like your part 80-100. It wasn't anchored to the threshold but just popped in (and out) of a narrow slot.

If you're looking for a track cover, take a look at our 80-100, 80-102, and 80-103. For an actual track we only offer it in a 6' and 8' length. Those part numbers are 80-105 and 80-106.
