Thanks but ewww... I can't believe you sprayed it with lubricant without cleaning or wiping the track door first.

Good video but I wouldn’t add lubricant. Typically, because the door is exposed to the elements outside it gets a lot of dirt, dust, pollen, etc., and all of that just attaches to the lubricant and eventually turns into a thick gunky mess that gets stuck in every nook and cranny of the rail system and door. Once that happens, you’re gonna have to work a whole lot harder to fix that door.

This vid was extremely helpful… It’s been years since I replaced the sliding screen door and I totally forgot about those adjustment access points. It makes sense that after years of use it goes out of alignment & starts sticking.👍🪛↔️

This just happened to me today. Letting a professional fix it for sure, but I thought I could manually disconnect it, and there was so much tension on the cable it really snapped back and hurt my hand. Scared me quite a bit. Just a warning, just don't touch anything!

Thanks ! I lubed the tracks but it didn’t help. Noticed the screws used on the tracks stick out a lot but can’t be driven in deeper. But decided to look up a fix that might not require changing out the screws. This helps a lot! You’ve helped a busy mom of 2 ❤

What type of lubricant do you use to help the screen door slide better?
@gilesmf10 ай бұрын
I use a bar of soap. You can also use candle wax. It lasts longer than WD40.

@WhenImBackInChicago9 ай бұрын
Apply a thin coat of non-stick silicone lubricant to the top, and bottom, of the door track, and bit in the door frame, where the glass door latches. Clean-up any overspray, to avoid a slippery floor. Use a non-stick silicone lubricant, on vinyl-door tracks. If you have wood tracks, opt for a hard wax, such as candle wax, or beeswax instead of spray lubricant. If you’re ever unsure, or don’t have the right product on hand, there are specific door-track lubricants available at your local hardware store. Avoid oil-based lubricants, as these tend to attract more dirt than anything else, as you stated. 🙂

If your sliding screen door fell apart like mine and needed metal corner braces to hold it together, I discovered that the best screws to use on the braces are computer screws because they are short with big heads and are meant for metal. By computer screws, I mean the ones used to close the case or attach a hard drive or hold in a video card. I tried tiny wood screws but the heads strip and the corner was unstable.

The real problem is these door screens are PURE JUNK! The roller design hasn't changed in probably decades. The rollers are flimsy and will dry out and crack eventually and the spring is just a crap piece of metal. Also the adjustment screw rarely works also. I think I made my point. A lot of the tracks are also just cheap plastic. I have 8 sets of sliding glass doors and ALL of them have screwed up screens. I have one that I have spent hours adjusting and it will hold the adjustment for a few weeks and then go right back to sticking. And all of them are less than a year old. Just a terrible design. Cheap junk!
