It's tough to tell what your roller is while it's in pieces. Do you have an undamaged version that we can see? That would help us find a good replacement option. Let me know!

hope these help,the slider door are 2 large panels one which is stationary accompanied by the sliding panel itself,8 ft tall,had to remove the non sliding frame to remove the slider door itself,the adjusting screws on both sides at bottom of guide rail pulled out and are the two pieces that are wedge shaped as shown in picture,they dont seem to be part of roller wheels.roller wheels are installed directly into guide rail with axle going thru one side of guide thru wheel itself and out other side of frame(which makes them stationary) the adjusting part seems to slide into each end of guide and and the adjusting screws butts up roller to push (i would say door)up and down when turned,not sure if the rollers themselves would move because they are directly into guide,the guide connects to door panel with screws next to adjusting screw on both ends,im sorry i didnt get picture of door before i removed,as far as i know its a standard size door,i believe the rollers are 1 1/4 inch,if you have any questions feel free to ask.measurements of parts are in pictures,thanks for all help given

I'm afraid that we don't carry this type of roller. It may just be too old to replace. Could you use something like the 81-266 roller and axle kit and adapt it to your door? If not, I'm afraid we don't have a replacement option for you. I apologize for the inconvenience.
