Thank you! I didn’t know there was two more screws behind the weatherstripping and adjusting my door has been a frustrating experience… Until now! Thanks again
Thank you!!! I tried small adjustments and made things worse. You were the first person to get me to ground zero so I can get it right. Always love your helpful videos!
I was so frustrated that I kicked the screen off the gosh darn frame. Should have searched "How To" videos sooner. Found this video, made the adjustments, and now the screen door is functioning properly. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! This was a real life saver for me. I'm old and inexperienced and have serious spatial relations problems. And I was struggling to reinstall a sliding screen door after having the screen replaced. I just couldn't figure out how to "loosen" (retract) the wheels. Your video made it very clear. I was thrilled to be able to do it myself. (I hate having to ask my guy friends to do things that I should have figured out myself!)
I'm hoping that this will allow us to remove our slider screen door to rescreen it! We could NOT figure out how it could be removed! Thank you! (fingers crossed!)
Excellent video. Thanks for teaching the how to adjust the patio door. BTW, where can you get the patio door weather strip? I have tried the big box store, HD, and I can't find it. Thanks.
My bottom screen door roller farthest from the handle will not adjust out from the door. Does the spring actually fail in this case? I guess I need a new roller assembly. How is that replaced?
Note: all screen doors are not the same. Some manufacturers' adjustment screws are turned clockwise to retract the wheels and counter-clockwise to extend the wheels. The best way to confirm this is while the screen door is off the tracks, but it can be observed while on track as well.
It’s common sense, either way turn them all in the same direction and then adjust back. If it’s not working one way, start over the other way. You know how a door is supposed to close
Something is jammed up. Or the whole opening has swelled or shifted. Retract them wheels as much as possible and play with it. Maybe pull the whole damn thing out of the track and experiment. A time consuming proposition.
That's a very expensive and strong screen door. Cheapo screen doors are another story, especially replacement screen doors that aren't exactly the same as original. Then you're screwed. They bind, they stick, or they jump the tracks. I'd like to see that video.
Whatever you do, DO NOT LISTEN to this guy. If you completely loosen those screws, the entire spring assembly will pop out and you'll be left with a spewing loaded puzzle to mess around with all day.
