ASTR BEC OMCO - in a circle on the top

11/16" thick. the roller is 1 1/4" diam.

These rollers are 20 years old. Pictured is the front roller. I assume the trailing roller is the same. I'd like to replace both.

Thanks!
Joe

Hey, Joe. Look over our 81-278. I'm confident this is a good match but go over our information and let me know what you think.

I have to tell you how happy I am to have a patio door that works. For years it got progressively harder to operate as the rollers failed. Two pros told me there were no parts for a 20-year-old aluminum door. Finally, I found SWISCO and you had the rollers we needed. Clear communication, excellent price, and quick service. I installed them, and no more wrestling with the door.

Honestly, this is such a relief. Thanks very much!

Joe, as I said before, it's my sincerest pleasure to help. In my experience, whenever someone says I need to buy a whole new door or window, my first thought is, "Are you sure about that?" We always try our best to find a work around.

Thanks again for your order. If you ever need anything else, feel free to shoot us another inquiry.

Hey guys, thanks for the posts!

While looking for the same part I arrived here on my first Google search.

This page saved me a ton of grief. One of the rollers on my 30+ year-old door self-destructed and the only thing I had to go on was the ASTR BEC OMCO stamp. After reading through the helpful comments on this page and doing some quick measurements I ordered new 81-278s. They showed up in no time, and after about 30 minutes of work I was literally the hero of the house for the next couple days. We still comment about how nice it is now that it's working like it is brand new. Thanks!
