Screen Door Roller and Corner

Question
My sliding screen patio door is hard to open. It gets hung up on the track and sticks in place. I pulled the roller assembly off and can't find an exact replacement. I'd like to go with a nylon roller ball vs. steel.

The wheel diameter is 1", Length 5", Height 2 3/4".

I think the mfg was JW Window out of Tampa, but they are out of business, as far as I can find.

I saw a web site the other day, from a company based in Masury, Ohio. They sell a plastic insert that mounts on the bottom of the door and takes place of the roller.
However, I can't recall the name of the company and all my searches have come up empty-handed. It was called Swisco or something like that.
Have you run across this company?

Answer
Thats a great photo Joe and a really interesting roller assembly. I have a Marvin parts catalog that shows the roller as no longer available. Its possible that Marvin window dealers might have old stock left to sell you.

The other alternative is to replace the roller and corner entirely with something better. See
