Thanks for contacting us. Could it be that you just need to adjust your rollers? Try adjusting it up to lift the door off the rail and see if that helps.

If you do need new replacement rollers, see our 81-154 for a possible replacement. Carefully compare our dimensions to ours to confirm that they match up.

hi tom, thanks for responding,no adjusting wont work as tried that. wheel bearing i believe drag as bearings very old. sprayed wd40 when installed a new rail cap has helped .

tom have installed previously wrong rollers home depo as dragging worsened. all trial and error believe need correct rollers.

81-154 rollers look like they will lock in place like mine. height 1/ 1/4 length 3 1/4, each is off by 1/8 inch. wheels and width the same.

sent pics in discussions group.if you need a pic send me your email. tom my roller doesnt have holding bolt.

thanks for your reply

Thanks again for your patience. I'm afraid I couldn't find a better match to your dimensions. The 81-154 is different, but it remains the closest match we have.  The height and thickness of the housing is especially important. Since yours is different form the 81-154, I cannot guarantee if it will work. I am sorry we cannot offer a better match.
