It’s sad you couldn’t find one with an exact fit but you did a good improvisation with the spline! Great instructions all the way though!

Very clear instructions. Exactly what I’m looking for. Good content!

Thanks for all the details and being so thorough.

Really appreciate for this video. It is very helpful, and I am able to resolve my problem now. Thanks a lot!

Very helpful!

Thanks for sharing .

That aluminum one should last a lot longer than the plastic one!

Great job 0:15

It’s crazy how hard it is to get out when you’re trying, but they fall out like nothing when walked through

Great instructional video...Thank you! Just a heads-up, your link for the Replacement Aluminum Rail/Track is not working.

Just here to fit the screen that came out from my balcony door. Followed the step you told but doesn't work I am afraid. Must be the top runners/wheels. Will try again

Part not available anymore 😢

What is the purpose for the spline? Is that something that would be needed for each replacement?

Great video! Did you replace wheels? If not may replacing wheels would make it smoother.

❤❤❤❤❤

you know if you wrapped the flat head screwdriver w that paper towel like one wrap around d you could get the corners ends better. works for me ; )

I don't have a channel for mine to go into (adding a screen where there currently isn't one). Can you glue the track down (and up...need one for the top too!)?

My vinyl frame is chipped on the very outside part of the runner, like where someone might hit their toe if they were stepping inside, from the outside. Do you have any tips or advice? I can't afford to replace the entire frame and door

Seems you can't buy these aluminum rail tracks anymore. Your amazon link is no longer there. Where else can I get one? The Arizona heat destroys the vinyl ones,

Is it still sliding well? Any issues going with a metal over vinyl runner?

I bought a new screen door and it is loose at the top and tight at the bottom. Should I add a rail to the top? Wish thier were guides I could screw in at the top

When i started this project, i expected the vinyl track to cost like $10. Boy was I wrong. I don't understand why they are so expensive. Nice video btw.

Where did you get the replacement part?

Ours is bent at the top track. Does that one come off too or do I need to replace the entire frame?

Why do they make those with cheap plastic instead of metal?

I think this is what is wrong with mine!

That channel is discontinued
