    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.

    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. 😎
