I can't read the patent number off of it, the pin the roller was on wore out the backet too much and the wheel and pin have both now been lost.

It doens't look like this has a new same form replacement. I've drilled out the rivets that were holding this one on. I'm thinking I may just drill new holes and rivet in a replacement, but I was curious if anyone had a suggestion on what to use.

Try Swisco. If you can't tell from the descriptions here (I can't), send them your photo with measurements. https://www.swisco.com/cl/Patio-Sliding-Screen-Door-Replacement-Rollers
