Sliding door bottom rollers - Dimensions?

Post by tandemsandy »

I want to replace the original 2 bottom sliding door rollers - horizontal & vertical. I work in an engineering polymers company so can get some new rollers machined from our bearing grade nylon 6/12, only problem is I need to know what size to make them!
If I take the old ones out and measure them I won't know what size they were originally, which isn't helpful for making new ones.

Anyone any ideas or original rollers they can measure?

Cheers,
Rob
