Easy Way to Fix Screen Door That Won't Slide 

Ok, my door has been off the track for a year...I finally searched how to fix, and your video was the first to pop up...fixed it in less than one minute! Seriously people. RU-vid will change your life!

Im 65 years old . My screen door has not worked in over a year. Watched this vidio and w/in 5 minutes it was fixed. Thank u so much . Your are a life saver

Your instructions were so perfect, I was able to fix my patio screen door myself. I am sooo happy. Thank you. Thank you. I'm 66, female, widowed, live alone ..... it only took a few minutes to do this repair and I'm glad I didn't have to impose on anyone for help. You are awesome.

Thank you! You have helped this newly divorced woman on my own actually fix something and feel empowered. It's the little things that help. Now my screen door works and I can let this fresh fall air in!

Just amazing...was about to rip off the screen door out of frustration but thought of searching on you tube for once...thanks a lot for this simple but effective solution. You saved my door !!

11 years later and this helped out big time!!

Wow thanks so much!! Our dog jammed our screen and your video came up on my search. Fixed it immediately. We used our butter knife :)

Clear and concise instructions, i appreciate that

Big thank you! Was getting ready to spend $200 on a new screen door. Took me 2 mins to fix it after watching this video.

Works great! Easy fix. As for the person complaining "not good or professional," perhaps you should describe the professional way rather than just critiquing.

I was about to call my agent to send someone to fix it for the fourth time. I finally decide to do a search in RU-vid and found this sensational video. I was capable to fix it in less than 1 min since Tomahawk DIY had shown me the mechanism of a fault sliding door. The rest is history. Tomahawk DIY You are a champion!

OMG, this was a lifesaver. I thought it needed oil because I steam cleaned the track just a week prior. But it was the wheel! OMG, this was so helpful. Like someone else said, it was fixed in under a minute!! THANK YOU!!

Thank you, thank you! I am a 75 year old woman living alone. I did what you said and it was easy and worked excellently!

My dog raced out the patio door and took the screen door off the track this morning. You helped me so much to fix it!! I used a butter knife too. It took two minutes.

Another guy here fixed his screen door. Thank you!

Thank You! Our screen door got off the track and we kept trying to lift in back on, but were struggling to correct it. Watched your video and went back out and had it fixed it 30 seconds 😭.

Thank You! I had the screen replaced in my sliding door and it wasn't on the track. I followed your direction and now it slides correctly!!! :)

Thank you!!!! My dog ran into my screen door and we thought he bent it but it turns out it was just off the track!!! Great video! God bless you!

Hey dude, not sure if you still check this channel, just wanted to chime in and say thank you. I was just preliminarily looking to know what to expect and your video was straight to the point. The biggest part that helped the screen door for me was the tract wheel needed to be cleaned. Didn't seem like much dirt in them, but it was causing it to derail, and I did need to adjust the wheels a tad as it was getting caught up when opening too. It isn't 100% but its pretty close. Thanks again fellow earth dweller. Liked and subbed.

Thank you so much! I just re screened the screen door and figured out everything else but couldn't get it to roll correctly. Your video fixed it instantly. My cats thank you :)

Helped me to fix a new window screen that was installed recently. Thank you for sharing👍

Well just wanna say thank you, this video helped me fixing my screen door ink as than 2 minutes, great explanation :)

The direction in which the wheels move up is CRUCIAL for success in this journey!

Thanks for this! Managed to fix it myself and avoid a callout from the landlord 😄

I usually put my garbage bins in front of backyard sliding door. So last Jan 28, 2019 winter storm 15~20com, the door was full of snow. I cleaned it from the outside, but even then, the temperature outside is -12C. Was having problems opening it and somehow it came to a point it would slide a bit only. So I thought I damaged the rollers. So today, Saturday -5C outside, where the channels of the sliding door had melted, I tried the tip/trick above, lo and behold, it's just a roller off the tracks! Thanks for this vid and saved me a call for a repair guy. Will donate!

Thank you for this simple fix video. Butter knife does the trick. I did have to watch another video to understand the height setting screws for the wheels which helped me tighten the door into the frame. I didn't even think it was square before noticing this fix. It would nearly fall out of the frame until I tightened these screws. Thing is, my screen door has setting screws in holes along the vertical edge where it meets the wall: one at the top and one at the bottom (of the exposed edge with the handle, anyway). This video shows setting screws along the bottom and I'm sure it's the same idea, but I had trouble locating mine. Tightening (clockwise motion of) these screws will cause the wheel to protrude from the door lip giving a tighter fit to the frame! Loosening (or turning counter-clockwise) causes them to recess and will cause the door to wobble with slack. All is well and it doesn't mess up nearly as often now. Thanks again!

Omg fix = getting some tonight. Ty!!

Thank you my slide door stuck twenty years finally fix.

Thanks for the video. Additional tip is to clean the debris out of the track and then use WD40. It allows the screen door to slide very smoothly.

Dude. I’ve been living for two years with this issue and finally did something about it. I'll get to the point by saying your advice worked perfectly. But now I’m embarrassed. I considered myself a pretty handy guy. I even poured olive oil on the track - yeah not so smart. Then WD-40. Then I went to RU-vid, specifically, here. I thought there’s no way I could be this simple. Victory is mine. Victory is mine. Great day in the morning, victory is mine. I drink from the keg of glory. BTW, that's some ninja s#!T, being able to fix 300,000 screen doors. congrats!

A DIY project becomes simple and piece of cake with proper hints like this one and becomes a disaster otherwise, much appreciated your simple and professional help. Thanks a lot

Thank you! It took a bit of maneuvering but it's finally fixed! No more waiting for maintenance man and next door neighbor!

This was so helpful, fixed with a butter knife in less than a minute. Thank you!!

Dear god thank you!!! I spent 15 minutes busting my arm and shoulder trying to get it back aligned. The. Found your video and BAM! Fixed!

This video saved me from an Airbnb fine 😅

I wanted to Say Thank you, Its worked with my door

Just fixed mine using the putty knife, its been stuck completely open since the previous owner of the house. This southern California heat was my motivation to make it work tonight at 11 pm lol..thanks!

Great video something so simple was driving me crazy until I found this video

That's a good idea I didn't know that doesn't go up and down only one way on the bottom

Thanking you in 2019. I'm grateful to you.

Thank you so much, this is gonna allow me to never have this issue again!

Thank you for sharing this information because I had a hard time trying to put my sling screen door back on it worked 😊

Thanks, this was helpful! In my case I had to pop the screen door out of the frame and straighten out a bent roller. It's working a lot better now!

Installed a new door today, very simple and easy to follow. took about 10 minutes! One finger and it slides like a champ!

Thank you for this video!! Just fixed my screen door in seconds, really started to bug me😅 two thumbs up!

Thank-you! You saved me the extra expense of replacing a door that, as it turns out, didn't need replacing.

Thanks. Worked great!

Thank you for saving me from ripping it off in frustration 🙏🏻

Nice 11 year old video helped me out today lol 🎉 Thank you

You are so correct how to fix it but for me it keeps coming off the track even when I have fixed it

Wow! Your method allowed me to fix the door in exactly 20 seconds. Amazing!!!

Thanks ... I did fix my screen door in 1 minute after watching your video....thanks again

Oh my god THANK YOU! My sliding screen door has been bugging me for months and it took about 2 seconds to fix it.

Thanks! My literally just popped off the track. It’s too late to fix it tonight so I’ll fix it tomorrow.

Thanks a lot! I was able to fix my balcony screen door so it slides properly (for the first time in years I might add). Thinking back, it never worked properly after one of my nephews pushed hard on it!

Funny how always happened me the same, in the video everything is simple and easy but in real, there's no enough space to stick my head to see the roller, the door is quite different and putty knife doesn't work 😂 Thanks for the video 👍

Thanks so much ... Was able to fix it myself without bothering anyone else.. Awesome..

Thank you for this video! You just saved me weeks of frustration!!

You so much you help me fix my screen door that I broke

I thought this would save my day as this looks so much like my problem... But the rail here is so high it's impossible to see the rolls when we lift it. My only way to fix it seems to be using the screws in the 4 corners, but for now I fail, I can't figure how to do it... Will continue to search, but thank you anyway !

This was very helpful. Thanks

Thank you, Tomahawk!

Thank you! I finally got this screen door back on after summer is over but at least i fixed it

Thank you very much for your valuable help my friend. Cheers!!

Thank you! This is exactly what was wrong with mine.

Thanks to your advice this 65 year old widow fixed her screen door in a few minutes.

Thank you very much 🙏. I thought I already had it on the rail. I was getting ready to destroy my door.

This was so helpful!!! Thank you!!!
