Sliding Door Roller Replacement

Question

I have a number of patio windows with rollers that need to be replaced. Each window has two roller assemblies, and each window weighs 20-25 lbs. Since the windows are exposed to water, the roller itself needs to be plastic, like the existing ones, or something other than a metal that can rust.  Attached are photos of a roller assembly with some dimensions.  Due to the camera lens position, there might be a slight variation in the precise dimensions in the photos.  If you can, please provide me with information on the roller assembly I need to order from you.  Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks for writing in! Your patio sliding glass door roller reminds me of the 81-020 Sliding Door Roller. Take a look over the dimensions and compare them to your existing roller to confirm that this roller has the same housing measurements as yours.

Keep in mind, this roller has a 1-1/2" concave, steel ball bearing wheel so you would need to swap out the wheel for a nylon wheel. Our 81-236A should work well to replace the steel roller along with one of the axles from the 81-310 Roller Axle Repair Kit.

Take a look at the video below for a visual demonstration on how to swap out the wheels.
