An adjustable roller assembly for sliding doors including a housing adapted to be snap-fit into a recess provided in the upper or lower surface of a door frame, the housing defining a cavity which is open at the lower end. A roller carrier is mounted in the housing cavity and is vertically adjustable with respect to the housing. The lower end of the roller carrier defines circular flanges in which is rotatably mounted a roller having an integral hub. A camming arrangement associated with the roller carrier is accessible for adjustment from the side of the door frame and is operable to adjust the vertical position of the roller carrier and roller to adjust the slack between the door and the track upon which the roller is adapted to ride.
