I have an RV with a metal sliding door with roller cassettes that are shot. I've looked around your site and found that my Del Mar toronto cassette most closely approximates your mirror door roller #23-198. Dimensions and shape are very close. However, my cassette has metal wheels. This is an exterior door. What would you suggest?

I would appreciate your comments. Thank you,

Yes, the 23-198 looks like it could work in your door. However check the dimensions on the web site against the dimensions of your roller.

How about the nylon vs metal wheels. This is a heavy door.

I think a metal roller would work better with your application. However, spray it with a silicone-based spray before installation- this should help prevent corrosion.
