    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!)

    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?

  • @steverahm89
    @steverahm89 7 місяців тому +1

    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.

      good point

    • @Morraless21
      @Morraless21 5 місяців тому

      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

  • @stephenbonkowski9782
    @stephenbonkowski9782 6 місяців тому

    If you turn the screws and nothing happens, then what.

    • @gregs_garage
      @gregs_garage  6 місяців тому

      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.

  • @brianr987

    Handy tip, make sure your screen door is not upside- down when you install it after fixing it.

    • @gregs_garage
      @gregs_garage  Рік тому

      Upside down? I don’t think so. Wheels are on one side and the handle would be obvious

  • @thetruthonlydementia7379
    @thetruthonlydementia7379 3 роки тому

    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.

  • @NoneOfYourBeesWax1
    @NoneOfYourBeesWax1 3 роки тому +1

    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.
