The best part of this video is showing the components Outside of the door how they fit together. And then doing it again In the door itself. That is what is lacking in a number of other similar video Helpful about the same Helpful about the same issues

This was probably the best tip I've seen on KZread!!! I couldn't find the wheels at any hardware store so, I did like you said and switched the uppers and lowers. My wife is sooooo happy 😂. I'll order extra sets off Amazon and replace the uppers. Awesome help. Again, AWESOME!!!

Excellent video. Great job showing the details of the work. Very professionally done. I will change out my broken wheel today with your video to help me. Thank you. Edit: found that mine engages a soft plastic part (the round part that the roller is pried off) that broke as soon as I tried to spread the roller with my #1 Phillips screw driver. Of course! So now I have a door that is trash.

Thanks! The rollers weee available at my local Home Depot.
Try spray some WD-40 lubricant. The rollers will slide in easily.
I know this is a much later response, but do you have any idea what to do if one of the tabs breaks? We have a similar screen door, but the tabs are plastic. The wheel feel right out when I got the door off the rail and the broken portion of the tab is inside of it. Hoping that I don't have to replace the entire door. Any advice would be appreciated.
@HacksbyDad
Жыл бұрын
Hi there... If you're referring to the tab on the roller, you can purchase new rollers or use one from the top of the door (if in good condition). If you're referring to the pegs on the corner brace, you can purchase a new corner brace, but replacing it will require removing the screen and taking apart the frame. Hope this helps. 😎
Thanks! I can’t believe I lived with annoying broken wheels for the last year!

Similar, but the glass door has different rollers.
What if there is no labeling on the sliding door or screen, how do I figure out what type of roller to buy?
@HacksbyDad
Жыл бұрын
I suggest that you remove the door and remove a roller. You can also check the top of the door… if those rollers are in good condition you can move them to the bottom of the door. 😎
My screen door seems to drag-could bad roller be the problem? Please know the screen was installed in 1982.
@HacksbyDad

It could be the rollers. You can remove the door and try spinning the rollers with your fingers. 😎
My dog ran through the screen door and broke both the entire screen door off. After doing what you showed I realized the wheels aren't broken, what's is broken are the pegs the tabs go into. When I took the wheels out the pegs were stuck and broken into the wheel tabs. Is there anyway to replace the "pegs" as you called it?
